I find it hard to believe it would be forced, but capitalism at work. When demand exceeds supply you end up with empty shelves and inflation, costs going up.
Its basic economics, its why airline tickets and hotel rooms get more pricy the less availability there is.
Although raising prices when demand spikes (say during a emergency) is often frowned on or considered illegal in some areas. Raising prices is what slows demand so things stay in stock for those that can afford them. When price controls go into play, things just go out as fast as they come in and end up being resold by someone else.
This is what happened when the Wii first came out, employees in the stores would buy them put them online to sell for mark up. This is why water bottles go sky high in prices when demand goes up.
We live in a just in time delivery system, for supplies. This is a big reason why we have such high inflation, is the government is giving away a lot of free money, people are spending like crazy... but production isn't going up, or able to keep up.
We have stuff here, but signs everywhere saying certain things are out of stick due to various shortages.
Now don't get me starting on the housing market, when two bedroom houses are suddenly half a million when 5 years ago they were only half that.
Supply and demand, and the inability to keep up... but at the same time, its a great time to be a business trying to make big profits, if the government will allow you to charge a decent price. It is also a great time to be a employee if your in on that supply chain. Especially the manufacturing and delivery part.
Agenda 21 , leading to 30. Brought to us by the oh so benevolent Rothschild Cartel , the ones giving the orders to puppet " governments " worldwide , in return for big backhanders. Anyone that believes the " governments " actually give a flying one about them , and the lamesteam " media " tells the real truth , are naïve in the extreme.
I have , and they throw a cognitive dissonance fueled hissy fit. Complete waste of time , they are programmed & wired up to the Matrix... a lost cause. They deserve what's coming , I am a single dad , son goes Uni this Sat , and have a switched on 15 year old daughter that will NOT have the jib.
Fuck 'em , it's glaringly obvious there is no " super deadly virus " pandemic from real life !!
Don’t hate on Walmart! But every store in my town is stocked up on everything. What’s going on in your state?
It says every truck driver quit or the inventory lady died
That’s what I assume unless you have a better explanation
Why didn’t you ask the owners?
That’s weird.. I guess I just have a special relationship with the store owners.. they always see me I guess, but if I ask them for the dirt, they tell me
It’s always good to have food stocked up no matter what.. you never know what’s going to happen. Good for you.

Sigh... Look, The people in charge are just selfish and stupid. Sure they are probably kidnapping and raping kids and they probably wish we would all just die off, every whale, every parrot, every thing that doesn't make them the new widget they want.
The sad reality though is that those shelves are empty because people would rather be a checker at walmart than plant a fruit tree, they would rather sit and look at their phone all day as a secretary at an office than raise their own kids, they'd rather eat toxic garbage rather than hunt and fish it them selves and they rather bend over and take it right up their ass than say a word about how retarded our leaders are.
Hell, im just one guy and I can't even get a girlfriend let alone married, so frankly your on your own. I hunt, fish and garden and keep my own health up but im not putting out any extra effort for a nation where I can't even get laid. Im going to sit back with my beer and watch it burn! I assume If you get desperate enough you might want to join me but by then I might not even care enough to let you. -- Most White Men in America Right Now.
ny kids?
The story goes that because some people are hoarding, they buy up too much food and then the people deciding where to send food shipments have sent the wrong amounts out so maybe your town store has very little but the next town over has too much. Same is happening with building supplies.. it's practically impossible to build stuff in many parts of the country because the product prices are too high on some things and just unavailable for others. Corporations are creating their own stockpiles of emergency parts/goods so that reduces what's available on the market.
Of course the people who laughed at everyone preparing for emergencies aren't going to be laughing when they can't find any food.
My closest grocery store has been out of capri suns for over a month. Not that capri suns are essentials, but the empty shelves are blatantly obvious.
You can’t blame covid. Only.68% of Americans have covid right now. And that includes 0-15/64+ people who aren’t of age to work.
Capri sun… gosh I haven’t had one of those since I was a child
@On_cloud_wine well you ain’t havin one now neither, lol.
It's easier to get you to go to the fema camps if there's no food.
Just a guess...🙄
Where is this happening?
I don’t think it’s forced but food is in big demand and out paces supply.
In October people will have jobs again unemployment ends. So the bottom poor people will be forced to work.
This is fake inflation and fake shortage
You’re talking about states that haven’t ended the extra benefits right?
Because my state has no one applying for jobs and I thought they discontinued the extra benefits like 2 months ago
What state are in
Looks like top has some there. I hear you the Hurricane Ida will take years to get over
What happened? Did you leave the EU?
Why don't you have any stuff? In the UK we don't have stuff because our lorry drivers buggered off back to Europe after Brexit.
I don't understand. The government is deliberately starving you?
The government doesn't normally try to hurt potential voters.
They care about getting re-elected.
