    Kroger system wide started limiting meat count to each customer. They are out in some areas.

    MCDONALDS started rationing patties to the store. NOT what the store thinks it wants. hourly.

    At some point everyday MCDonalds will be out of patties until tomorrow. People in hotels use vacancy no vacancy, they can use Burgers here or no burgers here.

    Italy usually registers cars 100,000 by this month. So far this year they registered just 2100.

    West coast ships with cars, thousands of them told to anchor and detention off shore at sea for a week or month until there is room for cars. USA Car flow has absolutely stopped. They are renting stadiums and their lots to park em all after they clear customs. 10 cars for 100 dollars, your choice anyone?

    The problem is it will be hard to staff the processing plants. If they implement any distancing on the production line production will go down. That will be complicated by staffing issues. I’ve been buying meat in bulk from work and having it processed. Freezers are full.

    Better lower production than no production.

    If a bunch of A holes hadn't shot all the buffalo while trying to kill off the Indians back in the day, I could be eating buffalo burgers right now instead of cow.

    Did you know buffalo are more efficient than cows by 30%, food consumption vs production?
