I bought some Mucinex at the grocery store at lunch today. They had as much as they normally do. Still waiting to find that empty shelf aisle that I keep hearing about.

Grocery stores are struggling to stock their empty shelves - CNN
New York(CNNBusiness)Grocery store shelves across America are wiped clean, and they're staying empty as stores struggle to quickly restock everyday necessities such as milk, bread, meat, canned soups and cleaning products.
Most people believe it when they see it. Others get it backwards

In what specific way?

Our cold meds shelf is pretty bare
My curiosity was piqued… just read the label on the Childrens Mucinex in my cabinet. Made in Mexico distributed by RB Health. Guess it crossed our border in a truck by an unvaxxxed driver
Childrens Tylenol and Ibuprofen give distributor but not location of manufacture … Tylenol purchased from a pharmacy at a childrens hospital

The truck makes deliveries at Walgreens every day just like it has since anyone can remember. Is there a shortage of vitamins too? Diapers? Or is there something about cold medicine at this exact time in history that is extraordinary?
Are you under the impression that cold medicine is the only thing that is scarce?
There isn't even an actual nationwide shortage of cold medicine (or anything else other than chips from Taiwan). Distribution is the issue. Regions get certain products late or not at all, and that impact rotates geographically as well as across different sectors. It happens with random brands and products as it has throughout this whole ordeal. Mostly due to issues with distribution, or reduced manpower at manufacturing facilities forcing companies to cut back on certain things, or to adjust their production lines.
Pretending like the warehousing and distribution issues at play here (for cold medicine and all other basic commodities) are not a direct result of COVID policies is just hysterical.

Horrible fiscal and employment policy that removed lots of unskilled labor from the workforce is a big part of it.
Promotion of vaccination mandates at production and distribution facilities is another.
It is a rather broad umbrella. Anything that isn't allowing the economy to function without COVID restrictions qualifies.

There's a vaccine mandate for facilities that produce and distribute cold medicine? Really? We should have heard about this. When was this imposed?

You have shitty reading comprehension, but I applaud your insistence to trty and narrow the focus of every post to cold medicine, when every single time I have told you that cold medicine is just an example. These issues are endemic across the entire economy, in every sector. This is just a current example.

FedGov and Democratic states/localities have gleefully pushed large companies and in some instances imposed mandates on large facilities to shut down, reduce, or alter their operations. Pretending that isn't true just cheapens your argument.
All by itself--trotting out government alphabet agencies to backdoor/bully/encourage companies to mandate the vaccine and other restrictions absolutely has chilled our entire supply chain.

Ok? I did not support that at the time, and it has been 18 months since Trump did any of those things. Also, no one said that the Biden administration is solely responsible for anything that has ever happened to the economy due to Covid. I am saying they are responsible for the fact that those impacts are still happening.
Much of the supply chain issues could have recovered by now, but for this administration continuing (and expanding) unnecessary and burdensome covid-related policies.

No supply chain issues under Trump. No energy dependence on the Middle East either. Care to explain that difference?

This is a straight up lie. Any shutdowns came from governors and mayors. A lie coming from you isn't surprising though, you are not any good for anything else
