What are you talking about? I don't access that email box.

Also, I've never done anything to you, Ms. Paranoid.


:mrgreen:
you already answered my post in your first sentence..the second being redundant.

a Legacy Member has to post to you (for service) and yet Peej gets to wallow in his tears how mean it is that it's his 'body his choice' and that he's 'going to do what's right for him' (regardless of any other people on this planet)..also @UncleBuck is mean.

unclebuck IS mean...which is why i like him..because he's also intelligent, and at least tries to be well informed, and like myself, is tired of whining bitches trying to justify their shitty behavior...

like i said.

The bacon battle brewing in California has some believing the Golden State's pork supply chain is teetering on the edge of precarious to outright calamitous: "The Great California Bacon Crisis," could "mean the end of bacon," bring about the "bacon apocalypse," or make the breakfast staple "disappear" from Californians' tables.

I'm not seeing it.

Pork spare ribs were $2.49 a pound this week. About the same price when on sale for the past ten years or so.

What it means in my corner of the state is a doubled price/pound.

Here is a picture of the sorry ass bacon I had today at breakfast . Lol. Not even worth eating . I think it was a Walmart brand. It was like eating a flattened worm roadkill from an Arizona highway . My husband bought some better bacon today .some OM CC Bacon Thick and the regular size cost $10.23. The fucked up thing is I never even ate bacon until this past year and now I can’t imagine living without it.

Portland restaurants struggle to get food, product amid pandemic-related shortages

1634664637316.png


Dated August 15

The story carries well though.

Articles depicting a crisis in food supply began in Feb 2020 and we continue to see them today. Empty shelves sell stories. I can't help but wonder how much effort is being given to amplifying the scary bits by puppeteers working the right wing echo chamber. Probably a lot.

Not buying the story of shortages. Yes prices have risen due to interruptions in supply chains and labor shortages. I can't help if people want to worry. They can always find something. Meteors, sun spots, mega tsunamis and food shortages all sell at the news counter.

Ikea Reporting Supply Chain Issues Globally, Not Just in US
Ikea is experiencing a massive supply chain breakdown that is leaving its store shelves bare, but in addition to the California shipping issues, this is being experienced globally — not to mention on land, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The causes of the shipping and supply chain breakdowns are similar: a lack of workers and truckers to receive and haul the containers of goods, according to the report.

But this is not even an overseas shipping crisis either, as Ikea says it has its products in warehouses but cannot meet the demand for hauling them to stores fast enough.

The retail giant has reported 10% of its products are missing in the U.K.; similar shortages are reported elsewhere, according to the Journal.

The problems are "very global, from where we sit," said Tolga Öncü of Ingka Holding B.V., the family-controlled retailer's main holding company and the operator of the majority of IKEA's outlets, according to the report.

"In general we are struggling to have the goods in the right place at the right time," Öncü told the Journal.

Like California and the U.S., the U.K. is lacking truck drivers, including those for gasoline tankers. The latter is leading to long lines at fueling stations.

Ikea is not struggling on sales, Öncü told the Journal, noting the rise in digital sales over the past 18 months of the pandemic.

Ikea reported that revenue was up 6.3% to around $43.4 billion in the fiscal year ending Aug. 31. Digital sales accounted for about 30% of its total sales last year, up from 18% year over year, according to the Journal.

Whats the story behind why this is all happening? I'm waiting for a new lawn mower thats built in the States and its delivery time keeps getting put back by months at a time.

uggh. I hope you have one that can keep you from drowning in weeds before the one you are waiting for arrives.

I'm waiting for a new refrigerator and an induction cooktop. But it's OK, the ones they are replacing still work, sort of.

Probably all the small parts for both or our orders come from places all over the world. Supply chain went down beginning of the epidemic and won't be right for a few more years is my guess.

First world problem. I'll live. People like us are jamming up the supply chain with consumer orders. I'm more worried that our stuff interferes with food and medical supplies.

Epidemics suck.

The food part is a bit scary for the city people i bet. We haven't had an issue here i dont believe. Australia does produce far more food than it needs though and I was enjoying very, very inexpensive local Crayfish last season due to China's Trade spat (thank you China). But i need a new mower fairly soon.... Might have to buy a heap of goats.

I'm not worried one bit about food shortages in the US. I think inflation worries are overblown too. There are a lot of places in the world that don't have much capital and don't grow enough food to feed themselves. So, yeah, you are comfortable and that's keen and peachy but you were never looking at missing any meals ever were you? Sudanese tell a different story. So, I really hope your lawnmower or my cooktop don't take priority over deliveries of essential supplies wherever they are needed. Recent history says it will.

Basically the world shut down for a while but people's needs did not. Then there are local problems that cause problems. The british thing is about them leaving the EU and lot of their teuck drivers were from EU countries. Ports being jammed up because there is not enough people there to offload ships. The ships that got delayed sue to the Suez Canal being blocked. Just in time manufacturing takes a hit. We did not build in any robustness into our global businesses. When the Chinese Flu hit it upset the board game.
