I recently moved to Texas from Washington state. While i still lived in WA during the Great TP Shortage of 2020, I noticed several products were out but i never saw the empty shelves that people were filming and posting online. Most often i saw certain name brands disappear then reappear a few days later. I now live in a small town near Dallas and while I saw the baby formula shortage, it now seems restocked everywhere I go.
I don't doubt that we are having supply chain issues and people are witnessing the bare shelves. Then there are the reports of all of the food processing plants and farms being attacked.
Why do stores, at least all of the ones that i have been to, seem to be well stocked? I'm not complaining, but shouldn't we be experiencing food riots by now? This make no sense to me, unless...
Are patriots really in control? Are THEY systematically attacking food facilities that have been putting bad stuff in our food? Then resuming business as usual? It occurs to me that the areas most hardest hit by the food shortages and gas price inflation are deep blue cities in deep blue states.
Has anyone else seen this? Or have i just been fortunate enough to go after stores have been restocked? Tell me im not the only one. What is going on?
Update: I want to thank everyone for their input. This has been eye opening to say the least.
Might be the only way. The wife and I recently started visiting a local meat market and the difference is ridiculous. Walmart meat ive never trusted. Kroger is meh. Safeway was our best bet for a long time. But after getting local sourced meat. My kids devour that stuff. Little balls of energy they is. It looks smells tastes better. Keeps better. I felt like shit a long time w/ drinking alcohol and generally f'ing off. But this meat I can drive about an hour and see my food alive and walking around before slaughter has brightened the days. Yeah it costs more, but that man and his wife are like superheroes to me now. They slaughter a cow and a pig, package and sell and then do it again. Not endless piles of shit sitting around for god knows how long in various warehouses, freezers and reefer vans. Also Skirt steak is the shit!
How did you find the place?
Drove by. Big ass sign said local meat Market. Also there's another operation selling 1/4 and 1/2 and whole cows (i wanna say 18months out, can't find the flyer) at our local farmers market. Im assuming they run outta the same town. Not much going on where I am.
