I think they purposely hype up that there are going to be shortages, then stock the daylights out of the shelves and rack up the dollars while people buy like crazy out of fear.
Not trying to discourage anyone from sensibly stocking necessities and I'm sure we will have shortages but people like Tim Poole are doing the chicken little act again, which guarantees panic buying and shortages. Meanwhile, Walmarts have fuller shelves than they've had in years.
I think Poole was one reason why some idiots pushed carts full of toilet paper to the register, leaving none for everyone else for months. I don't watch him but someone in the household does. He's pushing the shortages panic button again just like he did back then. He even claimed there's a dire pumpkin shortage. Our local Walmart had six huge bins of pumpkins outside and two more inside.
What I heard was "pumpkins." Either way, there's no shortage here and I live about an hour from where he lives. There is no shortage. He also claimed there was a shortage of cans of whipped cream recently. Stop the presses!! LOL What next? No sprinkles?! How much can we take?!

I think the pumpkin shortage means canned, cooked pumpkin.
