Reuters ^ | July 28, 2022 | Mehr Bedi

Hershey Co (HSY.N)said on Thursday it would fall short of meeting demand for the all-important Halloween and Christmas holiday seasons this year, blaming a scarcity of raw ingredients and difficulties in securing suppliers.

Pandemic-induced global supply chain disruptions and the Russia-Ukraine war have crunched supplies of cocoa, edible oil and other food ingredients, pinching production lines of packaged food companies around the world.

Won’t bother me. I don’t eat Hershey’s candy. They fired their employees who refused the vaccine.

Baghdad Biden will be along to address that shortly.

Donald Trump did this.

Russia did this!

Conservatives did this!

Those nasty dirty oil companies did this!

Can’t wait to see the videos of the protected class raging over pallets of candy at Walmart.

I don’t see it. The candy aisles at the grocery stores are packed with so much that it has the potential of making every US citizen a diabetic. What’s wrong with dolling out fruits and nuts?

Oh BS. This is a PR stunt to get people to hoard candy to pump up sales. I’m pretty sure the net total of cocoa grown in Ukraine is zero.

Laying the groundwork for jacking prices sky-high. Fine with me, since my wife and I eat very little candy and no kids ever show up here on Halloween.

That’s just one excuse they gave.

Food shortages are skyrocketing due to Biden’s war on fossil fuels.

Here here.

And what’s really the worry? People won’t be able to measure their haul in pounds of candy?

It’s not going to be every candy.

Just like it is not just candy.

Sprouted bread at Walmart out of stock 2 days ago. Now in stock $8.50 a loaf.

Normal price was around $5-6.

This is a forced economic transformation. And it’s going to make us a poorer country because of Biden’s war on energy.

There is no product, business or industry that isn’t tainted by the left.. that shouldn’t be boycotted. There is no where left to go that isn’t fouled by leftism. That’s why it sucks.
