The empty shelf problems in/around DC last weekend were mostly due to regional weather and employment issues. However, the snapshot represents an example of how people react to their first encounter. The conditions in the video represent a worst case scenario for those who have been watching the supply chain issue coming over the horizon. {Go Deep}
I doubt our average 2022 result will be this bad overall, however, there are areas where this might be the status. For most people outside urban areas, this severity of a food store shortage is unlikely, unless the federal government gets involved. If the federal government intervenes, this will be more common.
We know from prior examples, if these types of conditions were to last for just 72 hours across every store in a metropolitan region, you would see a level of panic begin. Civic stability remains relatively stable for 72 hours (3 days). However, if these conditions are persistent for more than 3 days, the general mindset of the population changes quickly. Things rapidly deteriorate. After three days, all reference points for civic norms are gone.
Those who remember Miami-Dade, specifically the Homestead region, in the aftermath of hurricane Andrew have a solid reference for what happens. New Orleans after hurricane Katrina was a lesser, albeit more public version. Hunger, fear and desperation are not a good combination.

Starve them the F out!
Monoclonal antibody supply – Government takes over. Guess who gets the treatment – NOT THE RED STATES.
Food supply chain crisis – Government takes over. Guess who get the FOOD – NOT THE RED STATES.
THAT IS THE END GAME…..
got food, got treatments.
by 2022 midterms the election will be about capturing murderers illegal in our country, and not about voting.
once the green taped helmets and the neon novices publically come on the news to apologize – The entire Jan 6 narrative will turn into the Purge.
“Dallas got a soft machine.
Houston, too close to New Orleans.
New York got the ways and means to just keep trucking on.”
When I get hangry, watch out!
But it’s not working out like that -red states v blue states. It’s actually working out worse for the big lefty cities like New York and D . C.
I think the only saving grace here is that aside from the Peoples’ republic of Mexifornia, a huge chunk of food is cultivated, harvested, and processed in the Red states.
It’s high time every state in the Great Plains pass law to allow farmers to sell direct to local consumers and co-ops sans USDA and FDA approval. TX already has with its beef industry, unless I’m mistaken.
Search up “Joe Rogan podcast Food intelligence” — we can sustain ourselves without the yoke of our would be bureaucratic overlords.
Add Illinois that produces a lot of food that our food eats.
This is very true. Illinois is a geographically conservative agricultural state that produces a large amount of livestock, crops, and dairy.
Even though Illinois is well known for growing corn and soybeans that are used to feed livestock, it also grows crops for human consumption including apples, peaches, horseradish, pumpkins, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries.
the red states produce the food, william. I’m in Tn. I get a half a cow every year. enough burgers and steaks..oh..and half a pig too..talk about bacon and sausage?? wooooo mama!!
and we grow our own veggies.
heh. believe me…we are NOT hurting for food..
heck, I even make bread every once in awhile..nice big rounds of bread that my wife and son will come by and destroy when it’s hot, with butter.
Except many red states grow our food. This could get interesting.
Elections have consequences.
Elections have consequences, stolen elections have dire consequences.
Brilliantly said … stealing
They may not have food, but they got the Mean Tweets Guy out of town. (temporarily)
frozen foods section manager/stocker (I know) said yesterday 60% of what he orders shows up on the truck lately…. some of what shows up on the trucks is different brand than ordered. Also said they position things on the fronts of shelves so it looks better.
this is in suburbia.
my store monday (yes the top middle pic was french fry ect section)
/
Wow.
For anyone who is still wondering what to stock, if you have certain products that you use for specific needs, those items are a priority to you and should be purchased immediately. These shortages are by design, and the Left is gonna make us feel the pain until the midterms. God help us all if we don’t regain Congress.
I am sorry you still think this is a left v right issue.
It is. It was. And it will be. If America First doesn’t move now, we Will be America Last
I’m sorry he thinks our vote matters.
french fries??? you mean people don’t know how to make home fries??? LOL!!!!
I went to Sam’s Club yesterday and they were fully stocked.
But on Friday, they had a massive water pipe burst inside the building and had to shut things down for repairs.
I wonder where all the stock came from?
Especially if other areas of the country are seeing bare shelves.

The above is a MUST read.
Sure could not tell by the URL. A brief description would help. I am leery of pdf’s. Maybe just me.
It’s the documents recently submitted to Project Veritas regarding gain-of-function testing and vaccine usage.
The above broke the rules so no reading.
It is Wednesday and the “email-job-caste”, commie, coup plotters are, no doubt, sending vast number of emails to each other …….. how do we know that?
Because, that is all that they do. They produce nothing ……. nothing but emails…….and misery for Americans.
In creepy joe’s America, what we have is the classic situation of the tail wagging the dog.
The sleeping giants that are America’s ordinary working men and women, her shopkeepers, firemen, nurses, pilots, truckers and train drivers, have awaken and are not happy campers.
It is by their work alone that the big cities where the “email-job-caste” lives can keep going, and the more they are willing to use this power to fight back, the harder they squeeze the “email-job-caste”, commie, coup plotters.
MAGAs have the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader President Trump!

ps “Let’s go Brandon!”
Haha! Good rotation.
We usually go shopping once a week. Should I have my husband keep the kids in the car or take them to a park for the next little while, while I do the shopping?
😏
As opposed to taking them inside the store if there will be fights. I don’t know what you’re thinking.
I wish I was a trucker so I could decline or delay all loads bound for DC or any similar sh-thole.
let them reap the destruction they have sown.
sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
My husband keeps telling me this won’t happen here. I keep telling him it already is…
🤢🤮
Yeh, I’m not eating that shit.
When I was a kid, if we ate bugs, we didn’t get HUGS!!!
Born and raised on a multi-functional farm just before the government decided to get involved and destroy the family farm.
No one will ever change me.
We tried to order a pizza from a large national pizza chain on Monday before the football game. The online ordering system was down. We decided to go to the pizza store in person since we had a couple of items to buy at the adjoining grocery store. We went into the store to see if we could order a pizza in person. Yes, they took online orders down but a guy showed us a handwritten list of items and toppings we could order. The guy said supply and worker issues.
You could have made your own pizzas at home for the time it took you to do that and pay an inflated price for yeast, flour, water, salt, olive oil and some toppings.
True but weren’t they also supporting the economy?
The democRATS of DC and any who supported UNIPARTY Republicans (which means the vast majority of its residents) deserve this … https://coronavirus.dc.gov/vaxdc
Just sayin …
Couldn’t happen to more deserving Sheep!
“I doubt our average 2022 result will be this bad overall, however, there are areas where this might be the status. For most people outside urban areas, this severity of a food store shortage is unlikely, unless the federal government gets involved”.
What? This is the exact opposite of what you have been saying for weeks. I bought a second freezer and now you’re saying it will not be that bad?
Just saw a similar report out of WBAL in Baltimore.
An example of the media trying to create hysteria. As if people who shop don’t already know…?
My wife went to the Publix supermarket in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday to get a chicken to roast for dinner; there was no chicken in the store…none. There was nothing resembling any part of a chicken in the store. As Sundance said, there was turkey, but no chicken. She was told that the chicken delivery truck was “on the way.”
many shelves throughout the store had a lot of empty space.
let’s go, Brandon!
On the “bright” side… with all of the empty shelves in D.C., retail thefts are DOWN significantly
Currently creating stickers /signs to deploy on food packages & grocery store shelves … Pete/Kamala/Biden and Clinton/Rice/Obama …
“We did it!”
What snow up north? That is a blatant lie. DC had the snow. I was in a TJ Maxx yesterday, the place was wiped out. The female employee told me they hadn’t had a truck in days. Didn’t even have plastic bags to put purchases in because it was on their non-existent truck that was supposed to have arrived this past Monday. I don’t need anything from that store to survive but it’s an example of the supply chain breakdown. I have been stocking up for months now but I cannot say the same for my adult children who have scoffed at me.
Everything that Democrats touch turns to crap. Americans
must reject them and their destructive policies if we are to preserve and protest our nation.
Best video comment “They better do something about it. ”
The people have been groomed to first look to the govt. Priceless.
In the era of efficiency it is amazing how much power truckers could have if they only could realize it. The current mess in VA isn’t solely due with blue politics. It has more to due with a non forecasted snow storm, bottlenecked beltways, and an I95 that was built for a population of the 1960’s. Also Wall Street’s obsession with efficiency hasn’t help.
I was living in the DC area during a very cold winter — my very first of the kind in fact, and found a LOT of people doing very stupid things! And yes, stores were stripped of their inventory because of the weather.
My grandmother was a child of the great depression and my mother learned practices from her. We always had dry and canned foods fully stocked along with other things like paper products. ALWAYS. We lived in Texas but my mother and grandmother hailed from W.Virginia. Those habits also imprinted on me even though my wife found the practice to be ridiculous and inconvenient. “We don’t have any space!!!” she complained.
But when these events happen (and they happen EVER FRIKKEN YEAR in NoVa!) we had no real problems. Even when we had that ridiculous toilet paper time period recently, I never went without.
People are stupid and myopic and refuse to listen to wisdom of prior generations. And even when they suffered for it the previous year as they do EVERY year out there, people are NEVER prepared. STUPID PEOPLE. Every last one of them deserve it if they are not prepared. It’s like not having a plan for hurricanes in Florida. If you don’t have one, you’re stupid.
No problem, only those idiot libs with photo Id and vaccine passport will be allowed into the stores anyway. Think of that, no photo Id no shopping in DC. But, but you can vote without a photo ID. And the libs wonder why normal Americans call them idiots.
Gee, in DC you can starve if you don’t have a photo ID, but you can vote without one. And the lib/dims/commies wonder why they are called stupid.
I agree Kathleeno3 and to be judged by some here is quite surprising. Husband and I are in our seventies. He is a five time cancer patient, has Parkinson’s and I’m his only care giver. Some of you have no idea of what stress it would cause a Parkinson’s patient to be put through having to pick up and move from a familar place and start something new. It would be cruel. We rely on the LORD JESUS CHRIST to get us through. HE has taken us this far and HE will take us the rest of the way until HE comes to take us home. Those who think it would be easy to pack up and “just do it” should think things through first before they make comments like that.
“It’s not fair”
“Who could see this coming”
“Joe Biden told me shelves were not empty and ports were running 24×7”
“Must be those damn capitalists”
“Yeah, that’s it”!
…..Keep on electing those DemocRATS, you citizens of those big cities….Maybe some day, JUST MAYBE, you will wake up and realize how utterly STUPID you’ve been….
Seeing a lot of negative responses to Treeclimber and his situation. Funny, not one post asking what they can do to help, just condemnation and airs of superiority with absolutely no information.
Hmmmmm, why does that sound familiar? oh yeah, it’s how the msm and govt treat us.
Unless you have reached out to TC and asked what you can do to help him & his family move, keep out of his business. I’ve been stuck in that situation and the only reason I am where I am today is through the help of family and friends.
So, be his Christian Family, his Friend or shut the hell up.
We will have empty shelves in less than a week, here in Colorado, since the grocery workers union has voted to go out on strike here. The strike could work for them but, either way, all consumers will lose yet again. Things will go to hell for a few months and then be suddenly fixed in time for the election in November, I betcha.
We are noticing empty shelves at Target and Publix in West Palm Beach . I do not ever recall seeing empty shelves before.
Prices are much higher than one or two years ago.
any one shocked by this have victimized themselves via their own arrogant hedonistic wilful ignorance and adamant stupidity. they destroy themselves for lack of knowledge. yet they insist on free will. oops.
Don’t laugh. We had our chickens running around one day and left the gates open so they were enjoying front and back yards. The whole area is fenced. Kids were walking home from school and the chickens were in the front. One young man about 8 years old asked me what kind of animal that was….I kid you not. I said that is a chicken. He took a second look and the only thing out of his mouth was “WOW” He didn’t say another word, just walked away. About 8 years old and he had to ask what kind of animal a chicken was?????!!!! I will never forget that.
just more fear being instilled. Heck I was driving around my town yesterday and the the amount of double masked morons driving in their cars was many. I don’t get makes zero sense to me! Oh and when in grocery stores the empty shelves planned as well stock is in the back rooms! We have so-called republican city council people, mayor and board of supervisors what a joke that has become!
Getting starved out. I guess you didn’t do the “I Hate Trump” dance well enough for your Donkey Dictators.
