The pandemic has been going for a while, and chicken sandwiches have been around for a while. There was never a shortage. Funny there is a meat shortage around the time they are pushing for a meat-less society.
Coincidence?
No. There is soon going to be a shortage of everything. This is what happens when you let Democratic Socialists run the show.
Nearly every shortage and supply line issue that we’re suffering now can be laid directly at the feet of our Lords and Masters in the government.
As long as we have plenty of Kale, 4% of the population will be happy. And that’s what counts.
The big mommas at Popeyes are gonna be ANGRY! They’d better be ready.
I bought a couple of big packages of chicken thighs last Tuesday at $.99 a pound...delicious....of course I should have bought more......
I’d like to find a roasting chicken smaller than 7 pounds. The ones at Safeway are more like small turkeys.
Try looking up and reading the mitigation measures that were ordered for meat processing plants. It’s a wonder production didn’t drop 50%.
All the hoodlums gonna riot if they don’t get their chicken sammich from Popeye’s.

My local Chinese restaurant has plenty of chicken. I could hear them out back catching some by the loud meowing.
It is ALL being orchestrated by the federal government, etc.
Yep, it is ALL being orchestrated by the federal government and their cohorts, etc.
Oh no, that is terrible!
Plenty of chickens to be found..check the Republican caucus.
“Good grief. First it was a lack of chlorine tablets for pools, and now this? We humans have really lost our sense of necessity.”
Add in the ammo shortage, and I just don’t know if I can go on anymore.
Didn’t a bunch of chicken facilities burn last year, and all the chickens in those places were burned to a crisp?
“Add in the ammo shortage, and I just don’t know if I can go on anymore.”
We got another shipment of bullets yesterday. FedEx said, ‘that’s a mighty heavy package, Ma’am.’
Evidently the chicken industry needs money. Look what our panic did for hand sanitizer.
