American supermarkets continue to suffer shortages of food and other commodities as the supply chain crisis worsens thanks to new global lockdowns due to the omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus, despite the fact that it isn’t serious.
Still, as workers get sick from the new strain, productivity has suffered and now, because Joe Biden’s hapless regime has done little to nothing to get the supply chain back up and running, any little disruption becomes a big deal.
The Los Angeles Times reports:
The highly contagious Omicron coronavirus variant is disrupting already stressed food supply chains, sickening so many workers that more shortages at grocery stores are all but certain.
Supermarkets have been struggling to keep food fully stocked throughout the pandemic as a result of labor shortfalls in every part of the food system, including farms, manufacturers and distributors. Now Omicron is bringing the problem to a new level. The variant is raging across the U.S. and raising health concerns that many thought vaccines had put to rest. Schools and day cares are seeing closures again, keeping more Americans from work.
Combined, all of those things are going to lead to higher wages as businesses try to attract enough workers, which in turn will result in higher prices for goods, worsening Biden’s inflation.
“We’re already seeing bare shelves,” Bindiya Vakil, chief executive of supply-chain consultant Resilinc Corp., told the Times. “Labor shortages due to omicron are going to exacerbate the issue.”

Biden The Terrible’s Economy.
You are not supposed to eat animal products. If you do the planet will burst into flames. It’s the science. sarcasm
Bare Shelves Biden.
Have no fear, Booty-Judge is on the case!
Now just think for a moment. Think about the worst Flu season you can remember and tell me if it caused this kind of supply chain disruption where stores were closing due to staffing and shelves were empty? Also, during that time maybe the flu shot was only 25% effective as it is a crap shoot and many people got it. Now compare and contrast a public that is around 70% vaccinated that is supposed to be "highly" effective and everyone you know is sick.
The argument that the vaccines are effective doesn't hold water.
Went to two grocery stores today and i agree, the supply chain issues are getting worse.
"MANY" -- who is the author talking about? Did anybody think that the "vaccine" put this behind us?
This is before china shut down some ports
My supply chain of money only gets worse. $45 roasts at Kroger!
Sundance nails the supply and distribution self inflicted chaos.
I hope this teaches our so called leaders a lesson. Bring back manufacturing to the U.S..
Fat chance. Unless they can figger a way to make more money off’n it.
This type of “news” will only make things worse. Now everybody is going to start hoarding all those items, like they did toilet paper.
BUT today..organic hand-fed, coddled, stress-free, probably PC, woke, counseled chickens were at my Giant…for $20. Suck it. Hope they rot.
Yay- our faux president is making it so that we are becoming just like Venezuela- a once very prosperous civilized nation, now they can’t get basic necessities very often-
“...because Joe Biden’s hapless regime has done little
to nothing to get the supply chain back up and running...”
-
Best thing is for “government” to do nothing
and just get the hell out of the way.
