Know whats funny about the TP crisis?
I got younger relatives that work in tissue mills in WI. They said that the papermill warehouses were so full they could hardly find places to store it.

It was the transportation that was the issue. Rail AND trucking.

But much of our imports and exports still depend on the California bottleneck that begins with Communist China and ends in Communist California. The red-to-red pipeline has savaged our economy and wrecked imports and exports.


LOL. Now that is some brilliant prose.

I was in a store in East Tennessee today that had toilet paper/paper towels stacked to the ceiling...clerks had ladders deployed; trying to figure out how high they could safely stack it...it was amazing to see.

Well, the People earned it. Probably for the first time in history, they got what they voted for. Congratulations! You earned it. The best part is it hasn't even started getting bad. Gasoline is over $ 3.00 a gallon but that is all. Groceries, when they can be found will be so expensive that homeowners will have to take out a mortgage on their house to pay for them. Heating oil has not reached its peak yet. And electricity prices have yet to peak. The Environmentalists, the Greenies, along with the Man Caused Climate Changers are besides themselves with their accomplishments under Biden. Wait until the Doctors start amputating their toes, fingers, and ears due to freezing and frostbite.

“ Where has this story been ?”

Isn’t that the truth? It took some good, old fashioned investigative journalism, something in extremely short supply these days. Obviously the Dem partisan MSM doesn’t want this simple truth out there.

Brilliant prose, indeed. The cold, hard, unvarnished truth.

Will people wake up the huge CO2 and global warming scan and fire the criminal communist working class?

Or will they lower their expectations and be happy with rationed $10 gas, freezing homes in the winter, and bare store shelves?

At what point will people finally rise up and say enough is enough?

Plenty of port capacity here in FL as well.
Main issue is that these container ships are too large for the Panama Canal....otherwise it’s a loooooong way around through the Straits of Magellan.

U.S.S.A

When communists take power, they immediately ration almost everything. I’ve mentioned previously this great book by author Shirley Christian “Nicaragua, A Revolution in the Family.”. Before the Sandinista communists took over, there were thriving Farmers Markets in every large and small town in Nicaragua. Farmers would bring their crops to sell and barter. The day after the commies took power, those Farmers Markets were illegal, and all food, and food production, belonged to ‘the people’ (government). They even limited the availability of paper, thus silencing any opposition. They openly bragged about the freedom of the press, while denying the paper.

SloJo, Obama, and Kalifornia democRATS cannot, yet, confiscate everything, so they are accomplishing the same result with their current government-created Port logjams.

Disgusting, evil.

Before the truckers it was meat lockers and small butcher shops.

Some shelves in my store are empty. Gone also are most of the aisle tables and special bulk sale items.

Less shelves with less on them. It might be different items and different shelves each week, but it is constant.

The worse it gets, the more panic buying will set in and all the shelves will be empty.

Let’s go Brandon.

“While truckers are still protected from AB5...”

“AB5 was not only the assault on the trucking industry...”

“While the ultimate truck ban was scheduled for 2045, an initial phase-in of 5% to 9% begins in 2024...”

So... neither AB5 nor “green trucks” have impact on the trucking industry but AB5 and “green trucks” have wrecked the trucking industry.

It is more than obvious that liberal policies destroy everything they touch. But this article seems disjointed to me.
