I don't watch network news anymore and haven't watched it in years but I'm guessing that this isn't talked about at all, except maybe to drum up support for red MAGA over blue MAGA or something.

In a way this is worrisome but at the same time a lot of these shortages are of things we just never needed. Just empty treats.
Like we don't need stores on every corner filled with mass produced nonsense that'll just end up in a landfill.
We also don't need a absurd variety and amount of options for every fucking thing. Oh no there's only one brand of oyster crackers available, the humanity!
Capitalism's growth mandates require continual expansion of the treats, and any contraction of the treats must involve hollowing out the treat infrastructure so the treat masters still get their growth for the next quarter. :porky-happy:

I'm sorry to hear that. Fresh produce is vital.
Where I'm at things have been just fine in terms of produce, so I'm lucky in that regard
Celery has been terrible for a couple months where I am, at every store organic and non-organic it’s all rotting and browned

I’m sure it varies by area but my grocery stores have been short on some pretty basic stuff. Like cheese, bread, and meat , specifically beef, were all pretty scarce last time I went.
Good. :im-vegan:
Sounds like a good opportunity to stop eating meat
They didn't say they couldn't buy meat, they just said it was scarce. Relax.

Where the hell did they say they were eating meat. Go find something more productive to get mad over.

Imagine siding with Davos ghouls and believing in personal responsibility bullshit.
Liberalism? In my hexbear? It's more likely than you think
There was an effortpost the other day that explained it
Sucks that even on a site for leftist who are presumably capable of self criticism, a tiny bit of friendly goading is accused of "getting mad" over something that isn't "productive," perpetuating "personal responsibility bullshit," trying to start a struggle session, and literally getting told to fuck off. Wow. FWIW, I'm with you, and I think a lot of hexbears, those who responded that way and those who upvoted their knee-jerk defense mechanisms against self-crit need to take a closer look at their contradictory ethics.
In 2019 pre-covid my local grocery had an entire half of an aisle just for potato chips with tortilla chips/other chips on the other side of the aisle.
Now there is one aisle of chips and the other side is crackers but mostly saltines. I think half of the aisle is saltines now.
Sounds like they're trying to hide empty shelves by filling them up with saltines lol.
That is exactly what is happening.
One of the other aisles is 40% cans of various chili.
I think the folks doing the orders for local stores are buying the limit for items and getting random large shipments for things.
Such efficiency!
That’s 100% what is happening. They can order whatever they want, but that doesn’t garuntee that the distributor has anything or even cares to keep the order correct
as someone who enjoys drinking rockstar juiced pineapple/orange/guava energy drinks im offended
I apologize Sir. You deserve your niche flavored caffeinated poison water
Pog juice.
I mean as someone with a lot of food allergies, weird niche brands are the only reason i can eat premade food most of the time
