meat supply chain challenges

Burger King owner Restaurant Brands International (QSR -2.7%) says it sees the protein-supply challenge but doesn't have current issues.

Individual Burger Kings run out of everything all the time. Don’t think we should draw any trends from this anecdote

So you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between that and a real one anyway.


You would when you passed it.

people won’t rest until we help speak a shortage into existence

Hope grocery stores get ahead of this and restrict hoarding. The toilet paper thing scarred me into how impressionable people are.

You realistically can't.


You can put restrictions in place, but the function only pauses the ones trying to leverage a profit, not the true hoarders.


Nothing stops the panic buyers from purchasing and going back in for instance.

Unfortunately, the only real "solution" is to be aware enough to foresee these types of things, and stock up before the panic hoarding starts (assuming you have a deep freezer to spare).

At the end of the day, people will always be idiots.

The only thing you can control is seeing to yours, while being socially responsible enough to not add to the burden by going in early.

The cashier at Safeway told me they was running out of meat starting Sunday. I bought some chicken today. Did I frick up? should I has bought pork or beef?


Safeway is the best of small time groceries...been years since I lived near one. Impeccable meat department. Anyway, it reminded me of this stupid joke, just curious if you've heard it.
How do you fit an elephant into a Safeway bag? You take the S out of safe and the F out of way.

Not the case in the third world. We’re going to end feeding the world if we haven’t already. Millions are going to starve to death over our reaction to this. I think that most people don’t understand that the big and powerful countries have been preparing for something like this at the expense of the Third World. The ugliness is only starting, especially once China can’t feed its people and steals all of Africa’s food.


Then let the UN step in and save them. It is not the United States’ responsibility to feed and provision the planet.

I will say though, your doomsday wishcasting is entertaining.
