What food shortages?

[Walt]

But IT IS happening where you are LIAR. Or do you expect us to believe that nation wide food shortages of certain products exist EVERYWHERE but the stores you shop.

I am willing to bet that most people reading this are not seeing starvation in their family. If they are, why are the wasting their time reading this. Go out and find some food for your children.

Food is less than 1% of my budget. The prices has moved up a bit, but it is still less than 1% of my budget. If it were above 100% of my budget, I would make a bigger budget.

You must be on food stamps, Walter.

"The prices has..."

Middle school dropout?

Yep,....Walters an old food stamp guy from way back. That and standing in line for his free block of cheese.

No, even people with masters degrees sometimes change the wording of their sentence mid-typing, and type something wrong.

Simple idea. If you are starving, vote for Republicans. If you are not, vote for Democrats. Everyone will be happy.

There were some empty shelves, two years ago, but I would not call it a food shortage. It was a shortage of some types of food, but there was more than enough food for everyone. Right now, I am not seeing empty shelves at all.

Maybe it is happening in rural areas, with high poverty rates, but it is not happening around me. There are so many unfilled jobs, it is hard to call it a job shortage. It might just be a shortage of willingness to work among the alt right.

Same here. Same for inflation. Prices are up a bit, but I shop specials. I've got freezers full of food that was purchased for half price on sale.


The only empty shelves I've seen were when the Qnutters started grabbing all of the paper products because they listen to Tuckems.

We are still eating last year's harvest. Fuel is up and fertilizer is down and two huge grain producers are at war with each other. And Biden want to burn more corn as ethanol.

Three months ago... If there were real food shortages, wouldn't it be happening now?

Putin's war crimes are going to severely impact grain prices very soon. Perhaps not in this country if we are smart.

It is happening now, Walter.

Try to find chickens or eggs.

Duh. Which came first?

I don't eat eggs, but my freezer is full of whole chicken I bought at $.99/lb.

 

[Althea]

It is not happening where I am. Why do you think there is a food shortage where you are?

The goddamn teachers with their math books

Mar 24, 2022 — President Biden on Thursday warned of global food shortages as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine — predicting that the war would ...

Mmmmhmmm

Looming food shortages? Probably not in the US

Russian food collusion...lol

My esposa does the grocery shopping and she says that there are food shortages at Kroger, Publix and Home Depot... all in the Atlanta area.

Agree. Home Depot was out of beef last week.

Masters degree and can't match subject and predicate?

Good grief.

 

[Althea]

Nope. Whole chickens. We have two competing stores that run at least one crazy special every week. I buy split breasts for $.99/lb as well.

Had rib eye last week that I paid $4.99/lb for on special.

But I live in a Blue state.

Indeed.

He says that he spends less than 1% on food.

He must eat a lot of free government cheese.

Two years ago, there were some empty shelves, and shortages of some foods... But not an overall shortage of food. If anything, I was gaining weight.

Anyways, two years ago was under trump.

You cannot decide whether the food shortages are current, or "predicted". Stone seems sure that he cannot find enough to eat now.

I am saying that I pay less than 1% of my income on food. If that doubles, it is still less than 2% of my income.
