CNN on Supply Chain Crisis: Consumers Can’t Expect to Shop Like Pre-Pandemic ‘Before Times’
Breitbart ^ | Penny Starr

Posted on 10/12/2021 6:40:54 AM PDT by blam

President Joe Biden and his Departments of Commerce, Labor, and Transportation have failed to solve a supply chain crisis causing the backup of supplies at U.S. ports and cross country transportation as the left-wing media lays the blame solely on the coronavirus.

A CNN report said consumers can’t expect to shop like they did in the “Before Times” and highlighted manufacturers warning of limited food supplies:

If you hoped grocery stores this fall and winter would look like they did in the Before Times, with limitless options stretching out before you in the snack, drink, candy and frozen foods aisles, get ready for some disappointing news.

Many of the country’s biggest food makers are telling grocers that they will have limited quantities of a number of their products, including items such as Rice Krispies Treats, Sour Patch Kids, some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors, McCormick gourmet spices and Marie Callender’s pot pies because of labor, commodity and transportation constraints throttling supply chains, according to emails viewed by CNN and interviews with grocers. Some suppliers are also telling grocers to cancel their promotions of these items and more over the holidays so products won’t disappear from store shelves as quickly.

Purchase limits from manufacturers were rare before the pandemic and are creating “lesser than full conditions” for customers in Morton Williams stores, said Steve Schwartz, director of sales at the New York area chain. Morton Williams is trying to tap secondary suppliers when its primary vendors for food and household essentials can’t fulfill orders.

“It’s not your ideal situation,” Schwartz said. [Customers] “just want to know why they can’t get their item.”

CNN reported Costco and Sam’s Club and other grocery outlets will once again limit customer purchases.

And here we have it, communism before us. Bad policies bringing bad results. The media rolls out the excuses, the public is pacified. And on it goes.

“Consumers Can’t Expect to Shop Like Pre-Pandemic ‘Before Times’”

...they mean “luxury” items like a can of green beans, butter, meat. We were so spoiled.

I was listening to OANN on IHeart radio while working outside, I heard something about consumer price indexing predicting a recession by the end of the year. So out of curiosity I searched the net for (recession by end of 2021) the following, in order are the results which came back, anyone else see the bias?

Notice how all the headlines date back to when Donald Trump was still in office? The algorithms are already being positioned to blame Trump for what I believe to be a planned agenda 21 crash.

Remember before Trump? They said obumber’s high unemployment, low labor participation rate and slow growth was the new normal. Trump fixed that in short order.
