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.

Grocery stores are stockpiling food and other items in anticipation of rising prices

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!

Most got rid of their "back room stock" when they went to JIT.

That's one reason you see empty shelves for days on end. They don't have anything in that backroom anymore.

And we all saw how easy it goes from JIT (Just in Time) to NIT (Not in time) with toilet paper.

Its not if, its when.
Anyone who thinks the federal reserve (or the fed govt) has the ability or any idea how to throttle inflation to an certain level, is a graduate of a govt accredited education center.

And what is inflation, but theft? Unapologetically they come right out and say their target is to steal 2% of your money and "the people" just nod their heads.
We are living in a cartoon land.

Government says inflation is up .6%....that is 6/10 of 1%....maybe a penny or two at the most.
https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

Does anyone truly believe that ??

Shadowstats, using the 1980 government algorithm, shows 12% inflation.
Alternate Inflation Charts

From what I see in my weekly food shopping I'm going to go with shadowstats and act accordingly.

When you have to pay higher prices at the pump for Biden priced fuel, you have less $$$ to pay for high priced Biden food.

I've seen shortages of the weirdest most random items after the T-paper crisis. One month it was boneless chicken thighs. Not a single store in the city had them for a month. Then it was peanuts in the shell. It was like no one had ever heard of them. Last week it was Coleman 1lb propane cylinders. 3 Walmarts said they hadn't seen them in over a month. A few calls to sporting goods stores confirmed this. It's really strange and unpredictable.

Nope. Every single statistic reported by the government, media, medical establishment, financial establishment, etc, is cooked. ALL the books are cooked. And people are dumb enough to go with it.

Yep. The grocery stores of last March, April, and May were just a minor prelude to what is coming. The left has nearly attained their wet dream... a completely collapsed economy and society.

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.

For me it was one week of no potatoes anywhere in town.
