The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that it is investigating the causes behind ongoing supply chain disruptions and how they are "causing serious and ongoing hardships for consumers and harming competition in the U.S. economy."

The FTC said it is ordering Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, other large wholesalers and suppliers including Procter & Gamble Co., Tyson Foods and Kraft Heinz Co. “to turn over information to help study causes of empty shelves and sky-high prices.”

What’s to report, everyone knows it’s COVID that caused this. It could never be the result of the the Democrats policies or California’ emissions requirements on trucks. The vast majority of the people who work for the government would starve if they had to really work for or run a real business.

The Apparatchiks are going to get right on it. Next up: A 5 Year Plan to Restock the Shelves.

Joe Biden Claims Shelves Are Well Stocked as Grocers Ration Food

President Joe Biden tweeted Wednesday that supermarket shelves are well stocked across the country while grocers ration food.

“For all those concerns a few weeks ago that there would not be ample food available for Thanksgiving, families can rest easy today,” Biden claimed.

“Grocery stores are well-stocked with turkey and everything else you need,” the president added.

***************************************************

 

WTF is the FTC talking about?  The President declared shelves are full so, they must be...

Because, of course, businesses want empty shelves and supply problems. </sarcasm>

OMG

Lockdowns, mandates, paying people to stay home and spending like drunken sailors might have something to do with it.

Just fine the stores for every empty shelf. That will fix the problem. Geez, do I have to think of everything?

No, dear citizen! This statement was rewritten fullwise. The shelves have never been full.

Punish the innocent, reward the guilty.

It’s the only thing professional affirmative-action feral-government bureaucrats know how to do.

Sorry, but the aid to individuals may be affecting the unemployment rate and little else. The big driver for inflation is federal corporate welfare, they are raining $ trillions on these corporations to control them.

All those prissy virtue signaling CEOs showing how pro-BLM and woke they are, and now they’ll get blamed for capitalist
profiteering and gouging?

Biden Admin. agents will question them:
“Citizen informants reporting now of workers waiting in cold in long lines for groats, flour, rice and salt only to be told shelving now has nothing there? How do you explain yourself? Comrade Biden’s Five Year Plan far ahead so what is excuse?”

"democrats send out their flying monkeys to harass the populace, distract from the evil troll in the castle."

Thank you for mentioning that.

The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments manufacturing crises to oppress everybody under their boots...

Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Insights welcome.

The constitution called this “swarms of agents” from the government to harass the people in their places and property. 4th amendment I believe.
