Thanks for the info fren. I do not see how anyone would consider your post of the Shill nature when in fact you are providing information that is contrary to the MSM narrative. I fully believe that any shortage at the store shelf level is completely a manufactured crisis - whether that's of white hat origin to damage the cabal or of a black hat origin to damage the US economy is the real question. Question for your dad, is there any backlog being caused by the containers not being able to be moved out of the docks, like no drivers or trains available to move the containers to end destination?
Thank you for the context of the situation. I concur with everything you are saying. I live in Long Beach and often see cargo ships lining up down the coast this time of year. It does seem a bit heavier than usual but during this time of year it’s not uncommon. On a side note, no shelves are anywhere near empty here in the South LA County area. Not even a hint of it. The only difference I’ve noticed is the price of ground beef at Costco has gone up only .50 a lb. I know beef comes by land and not sea but just giving context because I see some crazy claims on here about the price of some things. Gas prices for sure but food I haven’t noticed so much.
I’m in Washington state. Our stores are ok. There’s some supply issues, thinking it’s more people hoarding, maybe. Our food prices have definitely gone way up. Ribeye use to go for $12.95-$16.95 per lb. It’s now $18.95-22.95 lb. Beef has gone up. All other meats, eggs, butter...have gone up somewhat but not like beef. I have noticed that things like pepsi and some other junk foods have actually gone down.
Everything is higher in AR. Ground beef went from $2.98 lb to over $6 and no less than $4.99, same w/ other meats and some of our shelves have been bare since covid on just everyday items. You never know if you will be able to find what you want.
We don’t eat fast food and I was only paying attention to beef as a marker but will have to start tracking other items. I have no doubt many things have increased. Lots of variables between us as well though.
I will have to start paying attention to more items. I was using ground beef as a marker but I’m sure many things have increased as well and most likely to a greater degree.
I grew up in Pedro too! Born 1952 at the hospital on 7th. St.. Went to 7th. St. Elementary, Dana Jr. and SPHS. Lived on Rapallo Ave. and 17th. St. Left for NC in 1989. I LOVE Pedro, it was the BEST!!!! Oh yeah, my grandfather was the engineer on the old ferry boat, before they built the Vincent Thomas bridge.
We lived in Pedro (on S. Leland St.) back in the early 90s. Pina's on 9th was the best Mexican restaurant EVER and I miss that place so much. I hope they are still kicking.
Thinking the bass turds with the MSM are attempting to talk us into a shortage frenzy over Chinese junk. I am more concerned about our farmers and farmland.

Food prices always fluctuate with gas prices Food has to get to the stores
My grocery bill has doubled. Everyone is complaining! Even fast food has raised prices.

How much of the fast food cost increases are due to increased wages needed to be paid to keep people?
