Propane tanks are obvious, you need something to cook with if the power is out, or if electical companies are upping rates and you switch to using as little enegy as possible. Cooking outside means you dont need cool down the house after cooking in the kitchen.
When the grocery corporate world is panic hoarding because of the Biden induced super inflation cycle about to hit, you know things are about to get bad.
Things are about to get real folks. Elections have consequences and this last one is about to bring massive shortages and Venezuela style inflation.
Remember, 385 trillion people voted for this.
Enjoy!
Sigh. Did you read the article? I'm thinking no.

Grocery stores' stockpiling puts additional stress on an already fragile US food supply chain, which is currently struggling with labor shortages and high shipping costs.
From lumber and chicken wings to Starbucks drinks, product shortages have continued as the US economy reopens. Shortages are just one result of surging shipping costs, as maritime trade continues to recover from the pandemic.
A leading economist told Bloomberg that people may be underestimating just how much the shipping crisis will raise prices of consumer goods, Grace Dean reported for Insider.
So...worldwide shipping problems, labor shortage and other pandemic recovery looks like the main factors, not some fear of a "Biden induced super inflation cycle".

Fresh potatoes get soft and green after 1 week.
Not many people have root cellars to keep them fresh.
This is true, but it didnt just start, and we dont call it JIT(at least not at my company).
My company started a program to remove stockroom(or rather merchandise in them) in 2012.
Our backstock compliance is 8%, but they would actually like us to fail that metric and have all items on the sales floor.
This, added to the Covid induced shipping problems means we're always just one truck away from being out of thousands of SKUs in any one week (and it has happened in our store). Definitely not recent, unless by that you mean within the last 18 months, well before Biden.
With cyber criminals shutting down things ,what if they shut down our electric grid or our oil refineries or something where the food supply would be cut off. We have had nothing but problems since Biden got in office. I have noticed he is weak and everybody's attacking us from every kind of direction.

There was a period of about a month or so when you couldn't find a Fanta to save your life around here. You're right, it's just the weirdest, most random things.

I live in Florida and it's hot here most of the time so I bought a huge oster toaster oven the biggest I could find. Instead of using my stove oven I use it and I have it outside in my partially covered Lanai. It is used all the time and it keeps the house from getting hot . I also have special light bulbs that light up without electric.
If your potatoes are soft within a week, something is wrong with them, LOL.
Yeah... probably that they haven't been shot up with chemicals.
My potatoes do get soft and start growing "eyes" after a week or so unless I put them down in the food storage cellar (which is much cooler than the house temp).

Could very well be my locale.
I used to grow my own (and onions as well) and they kept pretty long.
But store bought....have to buy them loose now so they are "fresh".
