    Sometimes I think that the stores are intentionally keeping some of their shelves empty. Keep the food shortage fears alive and justify the way they keep raising the prices on everything.

    Why is China under lock down anyway? The Covid party line, or retaliation for Ukraine?

    This is what the people wanted in November, 18 months ago.

    where have you been?

    There is a cycle we go through every few years, it is overcapacity.

    just look at the truck market, my god a $20k truck selling for $50k and it is junk, all because the buyer wants to catch those big bucks we keep hearing about by the media for the last four years.

    inflation isn’t super high … yet

    Fully stock? Not in Michigan. Just spent a day looking for specific items for my kid to make something, Whole Foods didn’t have everything, forget Kroger and Walmart … PFFT! They don’t have the labor to stuff on the shelf. I don’t think it is something about the supply chain but more or less a strategy to squeeze the consumer.

    where?

    I think I this is the truth, I think this is manufactured to squeeze the consumer as much as possible. They want to fatten up those margins.

    Maybe, it is a great way to retaliate against the world for Ukraine.

    A 4 pack is funny. Just like those little 375ml bottles of liquor. As my grandpa used to say, all that's gonna do is piss me off
