Standard operating procedure for the elites and the mass media they own:

(1) Inflate the currency with insane government spending.
(2) Deny that there is inflation, claim that anyone who thinks otherwise is a deranged conspiracy theorist.
(3) Admit that there is inflation, but blame it on “greedy corporations”.
(4) Put in price controls to “whip inflation now”.
(5) Shortages result—blame it on deranged conspiracy theorists who are “hoarders”
(6) Rationing—demand sacrifice of the populace during the “emergency”

So predicable...yawn...

“Massive shortages on the horizon”

Yep, that’s one thing you can ALWAYS count on - where there are price controls (that result in lower than free market prices for goods), there will ALWAYS be shortages. The Soviet Union couldn’t prevent that, the UK couldn’t prevent that, the US couldn’t prevent that, and France will not be able to prevent that.
