This is weird.

This does not make sense. There has been no specific event/disaster… nope. Best guess goods are being withheld for political reasons.
Elites gotta usher in that Communism 2.0, er I mean the "great reset".

Demand is high.

But, it's the combination of labor issues, delivery issues, supply chain issues, manufacturing issues, and even economic issues that are causing the whole problem. It's not just one thing here or there it's like the whole freaking thing is out of whack.
That's all well and good for the US but over 80% of our "stuff" including some food items are IMPORTED.

I have noticed that when I go to stop and shop they never have Temptee or Philadeliphia whipped cream cheese. Not sure what's up with that but they haven't had it for the past month!

Understood and agreed. But I think it is a global issue, not just one for the US.

That did occur to me when I wrote my earlier post that my way of shopping is to do it all at once, stockpile,.......and not to constantly go to the store when I need something.
I just tried to think of the one essential thing - that’s all I could think of! Hahaah! I think a lot folks would be unhappy with no access to salt. It’s not some one thinks of - but it was my first concern for some reason!

I reiterate - this makes no sense. There is more to this story. This doesn’t just happen in a a day or two.

I’m going to buy more salt.

What? You’re saying elites are promoting communism? What?

Where? What reset? What elites? Who is an elite? In short, the dictionary says elites are rich and powerful. And they want communism?

Isn’t that blatantly contradictory?

Unless you mean they want to force it on others? We don’t need communism for oppression, increased wealth disparity is our problem.

I’m confused.

How many places defunded the police?

Houston and Harris county increased the LE budgets.

I am going to take a roadtrip to the Great Plains. Lets see what is out there. I hope I dont end up stranded with no food, gas, and other supplies while out there.
Come down to the Carolinas go to any Walmart, it looks empty.
