Back during Covid lockdowns, there would be warnings of products that were facing incredible shortages. I fell for some of these ruses, and today my best friend and I have twenty bottles of peroxide between the two of us. Of course, the big “shortage” never happened, but it certainly boosted sales. I can think of a dozen products that were touted as “scarce” and all the idiots would stockpile them (including myself), benefitting the companies, but the shortages never came to fruition. I think it was a way to boost sales for companies that had agreed to cut back on production so the shelves always appeared empty.
So, interesting that the Longshoremen strike was cancelled today, at least for the foreseeable future, but not before everyone hit up Costco and Sam’s Club buying up toilet paper, coffee, and meats. What a boon for the food industry this past week, after sagging sales due to high prices.
I’ve learned my lesson after buying all the peroxide, although I did stock up on coffee last week. These are tough lessons for people who don’t have the means to afford big splurges on groceries.
Anyone need hydrogen peroxide?
Observing black communities in inner Democratic cities is a microcosm future view for what they have planned for all of us. As the stores close due to crime, it leaves food deserts. That’s when the government comes to the rescue and opens up government food stores.

They let the big stores open during C19, putting the small stores out of business. Next they will either take over the big stores or force them to be insolvent through supply issues.
And yes, I would take some hydrogen peroxide if you have any left.
Wow! Excellent info. Thanks.
And….my hydrogen peroxide?
One thing about medical supplies, like hydrogen peroxide, is that in a crisis, those supplies go fast. One deep cut in a emergency can wipe out one's entire first aid kit and the packages in the cupboard. In my opinion, when stores are empty and hospitals are over-run or too far to get to, there is never too much of medical supplies one can have stored.
Hydrogen peroxide is the best for cleaning the outside of the toilet (every thing but inside bowl).
This only benefits companies in the short run. Once everyone has stocked up, it's going to be a long while before they need to buy that product again.
Good points, maybe it was a quick cash grab. Or it was white hat controlled, maybe they were scanning the containers for children. They would benefit from a few days stand still.
ALSO PRODUCT RECALLS GO RIGHT INTO THE BUNKERS LIKE SHOPPING LISTS !
