Are you stocking up on food now for a possible oil-driven shortage?

[888theGreat]

With oil shortage coming , expect less shipments of food coming in. This Trump shortage 2.0. He screwed up Covid and now with oil supply. I bought 30 cans of food. Will probably load up the freezer , Might buy 15 packages of Bison burgers. I filled up cans and filled car already. Will also buy more can goods.

Yes I have can goods and frozen

No , Trump will take care of me

[jamesgoldman]

I already do

I recall people panic stocking and I'm like that's just normal stock levels for me

[Sevenpointfive]

i have about the same. none of it sounds good lol but probably amazing when hungry.

Nope, I live in the USA. We are the number one producer and refiner of crude oil and natural gas in the entire world. The Iran war isn't an issue for the American oil or natural gas supply. Most of the USA's crude oil imports come from Canada and Mexico with smaller portions coming from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Brazil, and Venezuela. America can easily pick up Saudi Arabian oil at Yanbu in the Red Sea bypassing the Persian Gulf (Strait of Hormuz) and Iraqi oil can be picked up in Ceyhan in the Mediterranean Sea. No oil shortage here.

You view is rather crazy as well considering world crude oil production will increase by 1.9 million barrels per day this year and 3 million barrels per day next year while demand only increases by about 1 million barrels of crude oil per day each year. So in reality oil will be in surplus in the future forcing producers to drop prices in order to unload surplus oil once storage is maxed out.

[permanentem]

Not to mention Middle East countries that can't sell oil at normal rates right now have already maxed their storage, thus they will be forced to unload oil as soon as the war ends which will flood world markets with excess oil.

Don't load up your freezer unless you have an electric generator and lots of fuel for it. If they have power outages, then your food will spoil. Better would be some survival food, like sold by 4Patriots, that has a shelf life of 25 years. Also, a supply of water would be good too.

All I know as it actually happens - I have plenty of salad oil, and as for other oils, I don't drink or eat them.

[Sevenpointfive]

what in the hell is salad oil?

[888theGreat]

@Sevenpointfive oil for salads

[Spencer10]

Canada has plenty of oil... I am not too concerned about shortages. Now maybe we will have to shut off the oil we export to the USA just in case... you know a Canada First strategy right? Karma is a bitch sometimes.

[888theGreat]

you can have tons of oil but no gasoline, This is where MAGA's are fools and stupid , they don't understand the process

[XXblack88]

Maybe but I think starting a small garden wouldn't be a bad idea if you have the space for one.

I still have the stockpile left over when Biden and his Sec of Transportation who was on maternity leave mishandled the port of LA causing shortages of just about everything but I do not anticipate many shortages now.

I guess this is one of your April fools jokes , haven’t had any gas shortages or food shortages at all here and I don’t need to stock up on anything either

[888theGreat]

Economists say just like Covid

[888theGreat]

April 15th US has no fuel , means no trucks deliveries

[Likes2drive]

I didn’t run out of anything during Covid, I think hand sanitizer was the only thing hard to find and sometimes toilet paper. There’s no way that we’re running out of fuel for trucks because without delivery America stops so that’s definitely not going to be r and I wouldn’t be working either then.

[genericname85]

naw. food will get a bit more expensive. i can still afford it. i'm not worried about shortages at all.

[Dargil]

Prices will come down once we re-introduce Iran to the 9th century.

[goaded]

We've always got stocks of food, it's simply cheaper if you've got storage space.

[jahaims]

I own a freeze dryer/dehydrator and prep as a hobby

No shit!
