States are beginning to open up … and the supply chain for food is breaking.

Makes no sense to me.

Demand has not changed, why is supply getting out of whack?

The last burger I got from McDonald's...

How much smaller can they go? Just how much are they going to ration it?

When talking about McDonald’s meat has a broad definition.

People are storing way more meat than they have in the past. Someone on here reported that lower priced freezers are sold out and can’t be had. Something like this happened during the meat shortage of the early 70s. It turned out that people had begun hoarding meat to the degree that it spoiled and was eventually thrown out.

This means that the company is now going to be rationing meat supplies based on demand, instead of just ordering what the company thought was necessary.


Shouldn’t they be doing that, anyway???

That statement doesn’t even make sense.

I haven’t stepped foot, or ordered from a McDonalds, in almost 2 decades.

I’m sure the folks who depend on this place for their meals will be saddened to hear this “news”.

Why would a meat shortage affect McDonald’s?

Meatpacking is indicative of the perverse incentives globalists and printed Federal Reserve debt have forced on American industry.

- Its highly centralized to squeeze every penny of cost. This is to allow commoditization with ruthless retailers like Walmart, COSTCO, etc… to serve the debt of everyone in the chain.

- Of course, this extreme centralization and monopoly results in “factory food” and causes extreme tail risk and fragility of the supply-chain.

- As we see now, this system exposes American farmers, who never signed up for this risk, to massive risk nonetheless.

- The business can’t be exported, so they instead bring foreign labor to their plants. Every major meat-packing plant is 100% staffed by Somalis, Hondurans or Guatemalans. the poorest of the poor

- Wages are low, so the families of these immigrants live on SNAP, Medicaid and Welfare. Meatpacking labor is a government subsidy to Agri-business.

I can buy meat from local farmers, who process it at local, family-run slaughterhouses. They know each of their customers, and are true artisans. From now one, 100% of my business is going to these people.

“the CEO of Tyson Foods warned that the “food supply chain is breaking””

It’s all about elevating the fear factor

The CEO of Tyson Foods still a Clinton toady?
