Full store shelves are a right wing myth. Full store shelves never existed.
We've always been at war with eastasia
But then why'd they make that much shelf space in the first place 🤔
Our shelving industry is so productive that it would be more expensive not to have the extra shelves.
We’re going to hear this come 2022.
Specifically beef, pork, and anything else "environmentally unfriendly" that also conveniently makes you stronger and smarter and more able to store and process nutrients.
Do you know how many times Cabelas told me they will only sell me ammo if I sign up for their credit card? This supply shortage has brought out some really unscrupulous behaviors.
Is ammo still in short supply? If so, approximately where? (IE west/east coast, big city/rural. Not asking for a dox)
I don't think so. As of about 1 month ago I am seeing semi-regularly stocked shelves, although for 9mm it's either shit aluminum rounds overpriced or hollow point also overpriced. In CO, suburbs.
Or the Newegg approach of requiring a $200 coffee maker to order bread…. And only after you win a raffle.
for gpus?
Yes
better stock up on your shit paper now!
It's Fall. There are plenty of leaves lying around.
Just saying.
If you accidentally grab a hedgehog that's just a bonus.

Those get really dry and fall apart by mid December
Confident that I'm ok, at least. I've got my ferns.
Priorities. You can wipe your ass with anything. You can't eat everything.
And dry pet food!
I already consistently see partially empty shelves over at least a few aisles at my supermarket that were never empty months ago. It hasn't affected what I buy so far though...
Haven't seen it that bad here in St. Louis other than sports drinks and juice. Neither of which we really buy that often. I've just noticed those spots have a sign about "sorry we're working on trying to find more supplies".
But I've pretty much in "if we open one, we buy one...or two". Like this week I opened a new can of shaving cream so I bought a two pack. We opened a 40lbs bag of dog food so we bought another one. Same with laundry detergent. This was the first week I bought detergent since Feb 2020. I remember being on a P&G investor call and them saying 17,000 household goods would be effected in Feb of 2020. I went out and bought a year's supply of all our cleaning supplies right then and there. It's only been recently that we ran out of things like scrubbing bubbles and laundry soap from that purchase.
It's been hard to judge what our "average grocery bill" is now. It used to be $68 per week +/- $3 like clockwork. The reason being I'm more apt that if I see something just buying it. It was starting to get up to $120 per week, but that was also buying stuff when we saw it to stock up on. Like seafood was on sale a few weeks ago and I bought $80 worth that will last in the rotation for 3 - 4 months.
Thing is we're pretty well stocked up at this point and I've switched to Aldi's for the weekly stuff. So the past two weeks the grocery bill has been under $50. Hell this week it was $12 as I bought a couple gallons of milk, bread, and a couple snacks.
A bunch of people going without food? It's gonna be fun watching politicians being dragged from their offices and homes to answer for this.

Very glad I live in a rural area.
Same here. I always hear about all of these shortages and price hikes, and then I go to my local store and they have everything and if the price has gone up, its by a very small amount. The only true shortages I see around here are for electronics or new cars.
Already happening with certain products.
