Many items destined for retailer shelves this holiday season are hopelessly snarled in the global supply chain. What does that mean to shoppers?

I recommend learning to prep. Christmas presents will be the least of our worries in three months.
I’m sure the LA Times is patting themselves on the back for stoking panic buying. I’m sure the smart shoppers will snatch up everything within reach.
There are shortages of course, the ones I’m noticing are grocery store sales of any meat and seafood.
I’m not buying Spam yet, but sardines keep forever.

Hmmmm.... wonder if it has something to do with all those ships that have been sitting off the west coast for the past few weeks waiting to offload.
Does Gruesome Newsome have something to do with this?
It’s been snarled by a host of factors ............lack of people willing to drive trucks or stock shelves in warehouses and retail stores for the wages offered.

The Biden regime is all about American suffering. I doubt they feel we’ve suffered enough. Ruin Christmas, why not? Give them time, they’ll blame the problem on the un vaxxed.
Plenty of TP, but paper towels seem to be sold out all the time. Buckshot, if you can find it, is going for over $10 for a measly six shells.
People should be stocking up on canned goods and other survival foods, forget the shiny gew gaws and x-boxes.
As with bankruptcy, the collapse of civilization starts little by little, and then all at once. We're past little.
Put off Christmas shopping till March. The Christmas stuff will probably arrive about that time and retailers will heavily discount it to move it out.
Speaking of shipping, anyone ever order stuff from pet care companies?
If you have lately, have you noticed boxes arriving opened and/or resealed/damaged?
We have. We know other folks who have.
Now we’re starting to wonder if the packages are being checked for horsey paste..
If the US, under Noxious Nixon, had not begun its “War on Natural Resource Harvesters” in the late 70s, there would be plenty of food. But as one result, the US, once a net exporter of food, has long become a net importer of food.
The land was needed by real estate developers, so communities taxed farmers out of business ; the land was needed by locally ‘endangered species, so the farmers were either forced off their farms or forced to sell for pennies on the dollar and ‘wealth’ taxed into near poverty.
Commercial fishermen were scourged as criminals and driven from the sea by regulations so onerous that boats had to carry law and regulatory books ; fishermen were thrown into federal prison for the crime of fishing ; once lucrative fishing grounds were ceded to Canada ; other grounds were permanently closed ; stocks were deliberately killed of by state fisheries departments ; deep water fisheries were sold off to foreign fleets for the tax price of the catch ; it goers on. Meanwhile, grocery stores treated fish like meat and suffered (and continues to suffer) huge seafood losses driving prices sky high.
We just keep picking up one more thing and one more thing. Our pantry is jammed. You cannot have too many cans of Hormel Tamales. 😉
Will we have Christmas this year, or will we have a Winter Holiday? Will we be arrested if we wish someone a Merry Christmas? I want to see how stores will be handling this.
Perhaps they’ll try to lock us down in our homes.
I'm more worried about being able to get new brakes for my truck when they come due.
I have a service appointment at the Toyota dealership in two weeks for regularly scheduled maintenance. I'm half tempted to just have them do a brake job if there even remotely close to needing them as long as everything is in stock.
Every once in a while I need to praise a leftist newspaper like the LA Times for publishing a story that will create a rush to buy some stuff and as a result of such a rush the prices will go up and Biden’s inflation numbers will look even worse.
Thank you LA Times.
You can thank a globalist Free Traitor.
Time for the thugs to go Christmas shopping
Maybe Christians everywhere will reflect on the shortages and choose to celebrate without mass consumption.
I was just going to say that myself! The best gift for your family is time together. My family stopped the gift thing years ago - no one needs more crap. If we do buy, it’s consumables. If you do have to buy something, at least buy from local producers and not china made crap!
