Our nations supply chains are more resilient and flexible than they've ever been.
What our supply chains CANNOT do, however, is respond effectively to chaotic and disruptive behavior by CUSTOMERS. An empty grocery store caused by a hurricane or earthquake is one thing. A grocery store that has been emptied by hordes of morons buying five or ten times more grocery items than they need is a whole different matter. Lets not hold retailers responsible for the irresponsible behavior of morons.
Excellent comment and points. Thank you.
The biggest morons are the government bureaucrats and politicians who have created this panic.
Every GD time one of these morons announces another forced closure or restriction people stampede back to the stores.
Local Fry’s and Albertson’s are now limiting to 2 items per person paper products such as paper towels, toilet paper, etc; sanitizers; rubbing alcohol; and water (They did have water back today).
