This was not the only issue causing bare shelves. It is a multifactorial problem and will more than likely get worse - especially next year. Pay attention to what is occurring at the producer level - the farmers and ranchers. They may not have fertilizers to plant crops this year, do not have the parts to fix or repair their equipment, nor the ability to finish or transport their products. We have only just begun to see what could turn out to be massive shortages in all kinds of goods - especially food. Truckers are useless if there is no food to deliver. Everyone is being distracted by watching the shiny objects. I hope you are stocking up.
Great! Now we won't have bare shelves.

Disel is costing a ton too and we had massive crop failures this year.
The whole overcomplicated "system" is run by wokes. And everything woke...
