Rouse’s purchasers doing work.

I went this morning besides being out of some usual Thanksgiving specific items that always sell out, they were pretty stocked.

It is.

Its the most uneducated opinion of economics I have ever read.

These are the people running the country.

Went to Walmart last week and noticed it was the first time in a couple of years I have seen no holes in the shelves. Everything was completely stocked. Kinda surprised honestly. This was in Oklahoma. So maybe it’s different other places.
I shop mainly at Sprouts during the pandemic and there have no shortages there.

One thing I learned on many trips to China is that their government fears a hungry populace. Men have nothing to fear if they can’t feed their family or themselves.

In the last few days, I've been to Whole Foods and Calvin's. Neither had a single hole on the shelf.

Actually, now that I'm taking a closer look at this silly picture, none of the shelves further down (starting under the coffee) are tagged/labeled, which means they haven't been in use.

So, in short, someone went to a half used aisle, framed a little out of stock junk food and a bunch of normally empty shelves and made a political meme. I hope you/they have enjoyed the moment of attention.

That and 1/3 of their population is elderly due to their 1 child policy.

I'm convinced COVIDS was intended to thin their elderly herd.

It’s called a food desert. Looks like a Dollar General.

People can’t wrap their head around Managed Decline, and became apoplectic back around 2010 when I explained that Obama/ Dems represented American DECLINISM . Oh ,the names the OT called me. How could people actually want to bring American life down a notch? That doesn’t even make sense, it’s outside the realm of possibility , it could never be true. Everyone knows our Ruling Class only wants maximum prosperity. Ooops. Now you know.

while there are food supply and distribution problems, this looks like deeper market/store problems. Not saying it’s fair, but most larger grocers are absolutely crushing it right now.
