The shortages are very real, and most of them manufactured by the Biden Administration. The land of plenty is quickly turning into the land of scarcity. The government vaccine mandates and their strong-arming to get the private sector to enact vaccine mandates is only going to increase this problem.

Hundreds of thousands if not millions of loyal, longtime employees are being fired or will be fired for deciding not to get the vaccine. Biden is insistent that those in the military be given dishonorable discharges. That is wrong! It is salt in the wound. This is not good.

Glad I'm in Florida but don't believe we're safe from shortages here

Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

Either you do not do your family's shopping or you just are not paying attention.
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I don't do my family's shopping, but I would damn sure notice if there weren't seven different brands of salsa. Just speaking for myself here.

Glad you have all those choices .

Hopefully our grocery store is merely inefficient.

Biden's net approval among Independents in the most recent polls:

YouGov: -22
ABC/WaPo: -21
IPD/TIPP: -19
Quinnipiac: -18
Politico: -13
Fox News: -12
Monmouth: -10
CNN: -8

Biden overall approval is -5 in the RCP average

If that negativity spreads out to Dems in general, blood bath in 22 mid terms

50/50 chance Biden will still be POTUS by the 2022 midterms .

We have an administration who is waging a war on the people it governs.

Or maybe he just thinks it's all worth it to have a (so called) POTUS that doesn't issue "mean tweets".

And even in his case, he often ultimately caves or agrees to some kind of so called compromise where he about 80%-90% gives in.

There is only 1 good brand of salsa................Mrs. Renfro's Habanero Salsa.

Family founded it in a garage in 1940 in Ft. Worth. It is still run by the Renfo kids today.

Not enought but I can tell you that this is more about bureaucracy than being an actual port problem. Here in Charleston we are full speed ahead and they are adding crews to turn the boats around faster. Same going on in Savannah. Long beach and Newark are union states and its not just the ports but the trucking that is in short supply there. Probably something to do with mandatory vax requirements in those states. I think the USA is extremely short right now on truckers.

I mostly go to Aldi, there is one close by. Its shelves are normal.

Did those of you fearing the Soviet United States also fear when we had all the shortages with Trump as President? Were you wondering if Trump was preparing us for communism?

A few shortages here and there and Republicans lose their **** (if Democrats are in charge). Party of feelings indeed. Snowflakes abound!

What shortages? The toilet paper that was a social media caused panic buy?

The shortages created by media driven panic shutdowns of everything?

Those are totally different than shortages now.

But yes your anecdotal evidence of your one store proves all the people talking about shortages, pictures of bare shelves, news stories about it, etc are all false.

I didn't say there aren't shortages, just that they aren't that bad or I'd see evidence of them. I do live in America btw.

If you haven't heard about food shortages until now you need to open your eyes more often. Food processing capacity took a big hit during the worst of the pandemic, and still hasn't recovered.

Almost all dollar stores have 2 dollar sections now, and have for a long time. Dollar Store is just an inaccurate name, like the Dollar Theatre.

The shortages aren't bad as of yet.

But they are noticeably getting worse.

Might be a labor problem........many businesses up here are shorthanded.

well, it isnt the color of his skin that made him different from an impoverished person of any color. Plenty of poor white kids in this country..

I guess all the successful black people, especially those that grew up in the ghetto, don't have any ambition?

But hey, aren't you the idiot that tries to claim racism all the time on everything?

While that is a bad comment to make, many democrats will say all minorities are exactly the same and should all think and vote the exact same way. So I'm not sure if that is much better. Maybe both of you are f'ed up when it comes to minorities and we just shouldn't look at people based on their race.
