Too many signs over the past decade or so leading toward collapse, then the ramping up of the commie democrats and their cohorts antics and increase in destructive behavior among the globalists. Everything is falling into place for a complete collapse (unless the background activities among Trump and the Patriots will succeed). Several people blew me off when I gave specific examples, including pricing, noticeable decrease in stock, being limited to quantity, so I quit giving the examples.

In April there were some noticeable shortages but nothing that should have caused alarm--but still unusual. It clearly depends on the area--and the level of Democrat control. It will be interesting to see if the trucking companies hold firm on not delivering to reduced police areas. That could be real doom for major metro areas. BTW, I do not blame the truckers one bit. |

We have Walmart which doesn't make us wear masks-they always say, "I know, you can't breath". The store is loaded with everything including paper products, cleaners, sanitizer. There are gals & guys standing, sitting on the floor, up on ladders as we are shopping. They are stocking the shelves while people shop. They re-stocked the Goya products already. They have ALL the registers open and we still have to wait in line. The store is booming. |

Publix was running a lot of BOGO's and even those items were fully stocked. The only thing that is still hit or miss in my area is paper towels and TP. They get a lot in and people buy 200+ rolls at once and within a day it's low stock again for another 3-4 days until another truck comes in. Same here in Florida...normal as ever. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77504359 United States 08/07/2020 07:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been paying close attention in Southern NJ. Random things have been going completely out of stock, and I think a whole lot of it has to do with the opening/closing of commercial businesses and the uncertainty there ... the normal supply chains are screwy because of the inconsistency, so restaurants and businesses are going to grocery stores instead of calling their regular supplier. That being said, it is easier to get a kidney than a kayak or bicycle here. A lot of it has to do with all these families all of a sudden at home when they normally would not be. Also - I work for a snack food company that had to "pivot" from mostly institutional and event sales to retail ... we're still pivoting ... there are lots of manufacturing hiccups. Today I scored yeast and canning lids after not being able to get any sporadically ... and paper products are back after every restaurant in South Jersey raided them when outdoor dining opened. I've just been wandering around all the stores mostly cartless (I'm stocked - no need for a cart) ... and grabbing useful things I could run out of this winter and then have to risk life and limb to buy ... crazy glue, light bulbs, etc. I figure I should just get things when they are right in front of me and before my money is worthless. |

I also was out today. I....also was in a relatively small town...and uh....NOPE...NO SHORTAGES...it was bounty upon bounty. We event decided to go to a grocery outlet store, you know, where you can get huge bags of staples for dirt cheap....and the place was completely stocked to the brim. We also went to other stores...habitat for humanity, a couple different hardware/construction-type stores, one of the local weed dispensaries (I spent $100 there), and we went to a small bar and got a few beers and a really nice ass hamburger. NO SHORTAGES. IN FACT...the chick that met my friend at the bar has been able to stockpile thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars riding on the high horse with so much 'unemployment' and 'corona money' streaming into here checking accounts while she goes mother fucking shopping YOU IDIOT! The only REAL shortage in this nation is a shortage of a) leadership b) backbone, and c) even average intelligence... What's funny though is, I'm dirt poor. Basically homeless. Living in a hand-me-down tiny home on a friend's property where I work the land so I don't have to pay rent or for food. I only make very little cash trying to work online. I'M IN A FUCKING DEPRESSION...but not everyone, not everywhere, not by a long shot. I haven't got one penny of unemployment. And I did make $300 of corona money, but I earned it from someone who got a check by choppping a few month's worth of firewood... Welcome to the Greater Depression. My grandfathers went through the first one, and my mom would tell me stories about how in their neighborhood they were living in shacks and poor and dirt (but they got by), while just a few miles away or 'on the other side of town' they were living in the lap of luxury. |
