[Dilbert San Diego]

I have noticed this happening at stores I shop at. Are we having supply chain issues? Are we seeing hoarding? A combination of factors causing this?

Probably a little of everything. Preppers and hoarders are probably only a small part of the problem -- where it's an actual problem. Here in small town southern Arizona things seem very nearly normal. Where there seem to to be shortages, it's likely because of overly generous unemployment money and kinks in the supply chain. Once the bennies are cut back, many lazybones will get up off their parents' couches and go back to their clerking and stocking jobs. Ditto for the rent moratoriums. Then the container ships stacked up in coastal port cities can be unloaded, and we'll start getting our usual crapola -- including the countless chemicals and artificial ingredients used in our processed foods and supplements -- things should slowly return to normal. Or not . . . If TPTB insist on keeping this WuFlu hysteria cranked up to eleven or we go to war, anything can happen!

Supply chain issues. Not enough truck drivers to deliver goods. Not enough workers at the warehouses to load trucks (extended benefits and so on). Also, Port of Long Beach has some 60 ships laden with goods waiting outside the port for berths to unload. No truckers ==> Goods stack up at terminal ==> Ships full of goods stack up outside ports.

Biden's plan is working.
