#BareShelvesBiden trends on Twitter as shoppers encounter desolate grocery store aisles: 'Apocalypse

You mean like Bernie Sanders?

 

Violent for sure!

 

By the time this ends it will be discovered that the root cause was work stoppages caused by non-vaccinated workers. Truckers at the top of the list.

 

Laughable. The vaccine doesn’t even work.

 

I think it is ok to say that the source article is a lie, and it is even ok to say that the OP quoted an article that contains a lie. Those are not personal insults to the OP.

It is probably not ok to call him a liar for doing so (and let me make it clear to moderators I am not doing that). That would be a personal insult, and not allowed.

Just clarifying what I understand the rules to be. Not insulting anyone.

 

When someone says a lie it makes them a liar. Calling them as such should not be grounds for removal when it's proven a lie. JMO.
Ditto should go for stupidity.

 

Empty shelves, censorship, political show trials - "progressive" utopia at last!

 

When the gas lines get like they did under Carter then even Jimmy will proclaim he wasn't the worse President. Seen a T-shirt the other day with Trumps face and it said "Miss Me Yet" .

 

I agree that those pictures look suspect. On the other hand I have come across some very empty shelves in my local Kroger (Virginia). We have been unable to get our favorite dog food on a steady basis. I went for milk a couple days ago and all the 2% shelves were empty. The soup isle is very sporadic with many flavors not available. We
get our toilet paper from Costco and if you are not there early when it comes in your out of luck or you may be lucky enough to get some rolls made of bamboo. So there is reason for concern for many people. One other thing I have noticed is that the stores are adding on $ .10 a can here and there. Meat has skyrocketed. My wife pointed out that the sales papers are getting fewer and thinner with our newspaper. Gas is $1.10 a gallon higher than last year. So it's not always empty shelves that are eating away at our standard of living.

 

The problem, crank, is that this shouldn't be happening. Not here, not now.

The United States isn't freakin' Zimbabwe or Venezuela.

We're not in the middle of a nationwide lockdown.

The bullshit artist in the White House told the American people he would "build back better".

And relevant to your point, the ruling "progressive" party has squandered the past year focusing on itself instead of the needs and priorities of the American people.

That's how we got here, and we've been here before.

The last time the ruling "progressive" party controlled both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue back in 2009 they spent all their time focusing on themselves and how they could grab as much power for themselves as they could, instead of focusing on the needs and priorities of the American people. The current Senate Majority Leader, Charles Schumer, admitted this, but his insincere mea culpa came AFTER voters dealt his party a historic asskicking at the polls in 2010.

He wasn't sorry then and he's not sorry now. Neither are his fellow Democrats. As we speak, they're focused on trying to ram a self-serving partisan voting bill through Congress and running their mouths about how they plan to nuke the filibuster in order to do so, even though they know damned well they don't have the votes to change the rules in the Senate. It's a COMPLETE waste of time.


Bottom line, Schumer, Biden, Pelosi and the rest of the narcissistic *******s in the Democratik Party don't give a **** about the economy, and so here we are. Living like a bunch of Venezuelans and Cubans in what used to be the most powerful and dynamic economy on the planet.

And I guarantee you nothing will get done about it in 2022, either.

THEY DON'T CARE.

And they're gonna pay for their arrogance in November, just as they paid for it in Virginia last November and they paid for their arrogance in 2010.

And when they do they'll lash out at everyone around them and scream "RACISM!!!" and "FASCISM!!!" as they always do instead of developing the two character traits "progressives" lack - introspection and humility.

Bank on it. This is easier to predict than Secretariat winning the Belmont...

 

Biden spends his spare time being a grocery stocker during Christmas?

 

My wife and I live in Virginia and we're experiencing the same problem at different grocery stores. The stores here do NOT have full shelves.

But let's not believe our lying eyes, my friend. Let's believe the unsubstantiated claims made by some anonymous Bidenista on the Internet.

 

So your position is that all of the posters in this thread (myself included) who are noting the specific shortages and bare shelves that we are seeing at grocery stores are all lying and that there is no shortage/bare shelves issue occurring across the States and Oligarchies of America?

 

Thankfully I've done at least a bit of preparation with regard to these shortages/bare shelves that I knew were coming down the pipeline due to Biden Regime policy, so I should be good for quite a while. Then again, people like me will soon be vilified and vehemently hated by liberals for "hoarding" (iow, preparing for 'SHTF' in advance).

BTW, there's some people who have warned since three months ago that these shortages/bare shelves would be happening right around the middle of January, and they even hit the timeline right on the nose it seems.

With regard to butter and cream cheese, I still see it readily available. Then again, I'm in Wisconsin (Dairy State). I have noticed a steep price increase in butter though (from $1.99/lb on sale up to $2.29/lb on sale now up to $2.49/lb on sale). Thankfully, I picked all of mine up for $1.99/lb.

 

Nonsense, it's the unvaxxed that carried on thru thick and thin. See is the sort of perception people from other countries have when all they go off of is opinion and propaganda.. In other words how would an resident of Africa know whose working in states and communities in the U.S. other than propaganda? As a matter of fact, how would a resident of the Dr Congo one of the most corrupt countries on the planet really get reliable information?

Try and imagen 2020! While the frightened holed up in their homes while ALL THE UNVAXXED put it on the line to keep the U.S. from crumbling

 

That sucks. I haven't checked for chicken, but I see plenty of beef available yet. In fact, the 85% lean is currently on sale for $3.99/lb... but I got my beef when the 93% lean was on sale for the same $3.99/lb.

Thankfully, I am a very experienced sale shopper (as I have always shopped that way, even during the best of times).

If I make bulk purchases of beef, I typically do so from nearby farmers. Wisconsin is a really nice State (outside of Madison and Milwaukee).

 

Yup, gas has definitely skyrocketed in Southern Wisconsin too (and is back on the rise again). It's now back up to just under $3/gal when last year it was more around $2/gal.

Heating costs are insane too... Thankfully I can offset some of it with wood burning (collecting my own wood to burn, not purchasing it).

 

Just been shopping in France...some shelves are very low on items.
There are all sorts of blockages including trucking, shipping with empty containers stuck at ports because there aren't enough workers to empty the full ones, so goods shipped are stuck in port, and as for energy prices, they are going up at an alarming rate all over the world.
The financial situations in most country is pretty horrible too, with every nation in debt, interest rates going up and production slowing down due to illness.
There is always something to make political capital out of.

 

INCREDIBLY well said!!

 

No bare shelves, haven' seen them since the start, 2 yrs ago, let alone using an 11 yr old photo that doesn't apply.

 

I wonder, how exactly should Biden fix the supply chain issues that were caused by the original covid outbreak and are now exacerbated by the omicron surge? Should he order sick people back to work, so they can deliver goods or stock shelves?

The problem: The US currently has 28% of the world's covid cases, but only 4% of the world's population. So, clearly, a lot of Americans have decided that covid is in the rear view mirror and they don't give a damn about contracting it or spreading it. Thus, we get TONS of people who all get sick with omicron at the same time. In my own county, about 3% of the population currently have covid, and that's just the official numbers, there are probably lots of unreported cases. So, if there are lots of sick people who cannot come to work, how is that NOT going to affect the stocking of shelves?

Maybe, the Trumpers should look in the mirror first. Maybe, if they had decided to get largely vaccinated, less workers would need to stay home for less time. But, no, they don't care that omicron rips through the population and then they blame Biden for it. Typical...

 

So now that you posted your personal feelings. Please post which Biden policies created any of this. Be specific in which policy has Biden signature on it. I await the anecdotal "but biden is president so he needs to fix it"

 

This is the worst I've seen our grocery stores since the lockdown in 2020, and everyone is predicting that supply chain issues will continue well into this year.

My wife was one of the people who saw this coming - she works in the financial services industry so she's immersed in all too this stuff, from commodities to manufacturing to transportation - and I made the mistake of dismissing her warnings (she saw the housing crash coming years before it happened, too). I won't be making that mistake anymore....

Same with us - in fact, I'll be headed out into the woods to collect and then split more firewood this afternoon. We've burned through 1-1 1/2 cords of wood so far and it's enabled us to cut way down on our propane consumption. At the rate we're going I guesstimate that our savings will be at least $800 for the Winter.

 

It's going to be a looooooong while before this ends... The Biden Regime aren't immediately reversing any and all of their COVID-tyranny policies anytime soon.

... caused by Biden Regime COVID-tyranny policy.

Shutting down fast food/restaurants/etc, and/or limiting their capacity amongst other COVID tyranny regulations such as quarantining and whatnot, have all led to people who frequent those types of places for food having to shift over from that supply chain over into the grocery supply chain. The grocery supply chain, which operates on a computerized JIT (just in time) inventory system, is ill equipped to deal with such a drastic and immediate increase in demand as those people switch over from fast food/restaurants/cafeterias/etc to grocery stores. That is now causing the current shortages/bare shelves that you are starting to see at grocery stores. They can't meet the newfound demand (due to COVID regulations), and the COVID regulations soon going into effect for truckers is only going to make the supply chain issue MUCH worse...

The Biden Regime has shifted a large segment of the total food supply system over into the retail grocery supply chain. This supply chain CANNOT handle the amount of new people being shifted into it (due to JIT inventory practices, not having the increased infrastructure built to deal with the increase in demand, etc)... IOW, the entire food delivery system is not equipped for this and cannot handle this. It is not feasible.

And now, instead of fixing it by IMMEDIATELY removing ALL COVID TYRANNY REGULATIONS placed upon every single venue which provides food on a commercial basis (restaurants, fast food joints, cafeterias, schools, hotels, food trucks, etc), the Biden Regime is instead moving full steam ahead with vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, and other COVID tyranny policies. Telling not-fully-vaccinated people that they can't eat at a restaurant forces them into a grocery store, which only further increases the demand upon the retail grocery supply chain. Telling truckers that they can't cross borders without vaccination proof further decreases the labor supply and hinders product shipments, further stressing the retail grocery supply chain.

Of course, liberals are completely clueless as to any of the logistics that go into anything... It just "magically happens" and "magically appears before their eyes". Liberals, intending to cause unvaccinated people a load of problems, are unintentionally (due to their own cluelessness regarding logistics and how things actually work) also causing themselves problems, and are now blaming unvaccinated people for those problems that THEY are causing. They are incapable of self-reflection and considering that their own ideas just might be flawed. It's always the fault of someone else around them...

WRONG. Those people WANT TO WORK, but the Biden Regime IS NOT ALLOWING THOSE PEOPLE TO WORK. The Biden Regime is at fault, not those workers. Think about it.

WRONG. See above.

 

You didn't answer my question.
