“The supply chain is still an issue, the media, government propaganda ministry is ignoring it.”
There are still plenty of empty shelves around Raleigh. Last week I visited 3 stores looking for cream cheese. When I finally found it, it had doubled in price. I agree with other posters; this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The lack of cream cheese on the shelves was interesting. It went on for some time, and the product is still hard to find. Blueberry waffles was another item that was almost impossible to find out here in the Los Angeles area. That shortage seems to be alleviated for now.
People seemed to be hoarding bottled water again, like 2020, but that problem has eased.
