Are Food Shortages Coming to a Store Near You?

Many are already seeing the fallout of supply chain issues

Americans are so sheltered.

Most of us have never seen true poverty firsthand.

Most of us have never gone hungry or never known what it’s like to have empty shelves at the grocery store.

When we want something, we go to our fridge in the kitchen. If we can’t find it there we check the fridge in the garage. If we’re completely out, we order it and have it delivered.

We never think about how the food gets from the farm to the store, to our table.

But things are changing.

Should we be worried?

I’m not, but that doesn’t mean that food shortages aren’t coming. In fact, in many cities all across America, people are reporting that barren shelves are becoming the “new normal”.

Is that what they meant by “build back better”?

One can only speculate, but I’d say the unfortunate mishandling of so many components does feel rather intentional.

If you harbored hate for a country and wanted to bring them to their knees, how would you do it?
