Biden’s Empty-Shelf America Is A Country Boris Yeltsin Wouldn’t Recognize
In 1989, Boris Yeltsin visited a Randalls supermarket in Texas. He was astonished at what he saw: shelves, coolers, and freezers bursting with groceries. Were the late Russian president to visit today, he would find many of America’s stores having a lot in common with those of the centrally planned Soviet Union, where the inventory was chronically low, the customers morose.

Still there is no comparison with Soviet union and usa today.
ReplyDeleteNone.
If the demonrats get their final way there WILL be a comparison
DeleteThe longer we continue down this path of submission, compliance, and obedience to the out of control feral Gommers and their incessant illegal and disgraceful non compliance and total disregard of our Constitution, it's founding principles and historic traditions, the closer we approach 1920's Stalinist Russia and all the pitfalls and atrocities it layed upon it's people. History lays it all out, the playbook is the same, the outcome is the same, the only difference, the players are different. It will end badly for all.

DeleteThere have been spot shortages of different types of groceries at my local store over the course of the past year. However, when I ask the stocking clerks when the outages are going to be back in stock, the item is usually there the next time I shop. A few weeks ago Sriracha Hot Sauce was not to be had, but it was there the next week. I think sometimes the stock clerks, most of whom are intimately familiar with every item in the aisles they are responsible for, just forget to mention that an item is stocked out. I know they use computer automation to facilitate reorder, but sometimes the clerks need to bring stocked out items to the attention of their supervisors.
ReplyDeleteWhen I mentioned the outage of the Sriracha to the stock clerk, he tried to tell me that it was on a ship in L.A. Harbor. Fookin' little wise ass was immediately contrite when I told him it manufactured in Irwindale, CA.

Seems to be getting less and less of a selection of what they do have. Choice between store brand milk and bread or nothing and the store brand milk has an expiration date maybe three days out.
