n Denver, public-school children are facing shortages of milk. In Chicago, a local market is running short of canned goods and boxed items.
But there’s plenty of food. There just isn’t always enough processing and transportation capacity to meet rising demand as the economy revs up.
More than a year and a half after the coronavirus pandemic upended daily life, the supply of basic goods at U.S. grocery stores and restaurants is once again falling victim to intermittent shortages and delays.
“I never imagined that we’d be here in October 2021 talking about supply-chain problems, but it’s a reality,” said Vivek Sankaran, chief executive officer of Albertsons Companies, who echoed the laments of other retailers. “Any given day, you’re going to have something missing in our stores, and it’s across categories.”
“We’ve been struggling with supply-chain issues with different items since school started,” said Theresa Hafner, the executive director of food services at Denver Public Schools. “It just continues to pop up. It’s like playing whack-a-mole.”
In Chicago, Dill Pickle Food Co-Op ran out of certain dry goods because its two main distributors haven’t been sending orders in full in recent weeks.
“Early in the pandemic, panic buying was the cause of many of the out-of-stock situations that grocers experienced,” general manager I’Talia McCarthy said in an email to store owners this month. “Although the food industry was able to somewhat rebound, the sustained nature of the pandemic, combined with the slow pace of vaccination globally and the recent surge caused by the delta variant, have resurfaced the problem.”
The shortages aren’t as acute as they were earlier in the pandemic.

Agree...better option? Maybe the ham in a can? We have outages here...a week at a time in winter..
Enter an expansion of defense-related anti hoarding law to cover food. Wasn’t that long ago that Clinton era mouthpieces were declaring that no one NEEDS more than a week’s worth of food. Canadians are, as we speak, being told that hoarding is “unpatriotic. “ easy to see where this is going.
ALL PLANNED by leftists / globalists, and you know every time they hear the great news, as it spreads throughout the USA, they will orgasm in satanic delight, like the DEVILS THEY ARE!!!!
“I never imagined that we’d be here in October 2021 talking about supply-chain problems, but it’s a reality,”
Same here, until the commies stole the election.
They keep a selection of entertainment ranging from the NFL to Downtown Abby on the screens and most people too concerned with the next mortgage payment, that revolution will never materialize...
And an excuse to crack down on “unpatriotic” hoarders.
Bidumb.
My word for it is preparing.
It’s your fault, you deplorable hoarders!
One thing that is NOT in short supply is government spending - as in any mismanaged third-world nation, the federal government seems unable to resist throwing trillions of dollars it does not have, at any and all problems, real or imaginary. And the consequences will likely crush the working poor, more certainly than any shortages or food inflation...
Precisely. We are turning into my native Cuba.
My husband and I have been prepping for a couple of years. Our prepper pantry isn’t big but we keep it stocked. Pasta, rice, bottled sauces, canned vegetables and fruits, soap, meats in freezer, etc. We have a lot of chicken, lol! Preppers don’t hoard; we buy things a little extra at a time.
It makes sense, too, to buy now before prices get even higher under Bidet.
Venison is good eating. Better to thin the heard than to have them hit by cars. Suburban ordinances that ban 8 foot fences allow them to wander around feeding on flower beds and gardens. When the population is too big, feeding them is just the wrong thing to do. More will just get hit by cars in developed areas.
You don’t need to hoard if you build cages strong enough to hold your neighbors.
The difference between prepping and hoarding is whether you buy a bunch of stuff to stock up BEFORE or AFTER the shortages occur.

Communist coups carry catastrophic consequences.
No they are not
Just another Leftist lie to manufacture a scapegoat and avoid holding Biden Democrats accountable for their bad fiscal, monetary and energy polices
The supposed quotes here are almost a word for word recitation of the Biden regimes propaganda.
“Always?” We ate it in the 1950s...and we we would have been considered poor by today’s standards.
