I should give credit where due. Yahoo! News published a piece admitting a supply chain problem that leaves store shelves bare. But their explanation is akin to blaming a spoon for people being obese or a gun for the actions of a killer. It’s not just misleading; it’s backward.
High demand for groceries combined with soaring freight costs and Omicron-related labor shortages are creating a new round of backlogs at processed food and fresh produce companies, leading to empty supermarket shelves at major retailers across the United States.
None of this results from the latest offspring attributed to the Rona or any of Fauci’s viral “progeny.” It results from policy, no less than creating the virus itself.
The shelves appear depleted, and prices are skyrocketing thanks to pandemic politics.
End the fearmongering, testing the asymptomatic, vaxx mandates and passport policies for truckers and dock workers, and the problem goes away. It will take months at this point, but it will go away.
Stop paying people to stay home and stop making them stay home – when 99% have never had a single thing to fear from any of this virus theater, then get out of the way, and it goes away.
We’ll fix it ourselves, but you, the political madmen and women, must take their pointless policies and step aside.
The crisis is a man-caused disaster.
Politicians and their politics are to blame and not just their actions but their inactions.
The government, at least ours, was formed to protect “natural rights.” That means the government is to do nothing to infringe upon them and everything to prevent infringements by others, for our rights and the general welfare.
Neither private companies nor individuals are not permitted to violate those rights, and it is the government’s job to protect the people from them.
You have failed in both directions and epic fashion. The nation has been crippled from within; claiming to have had the best intentions is no excuse.
There’s no provision for that in our Constitutions.
It is not your job to define our rights and manage them. It is to protect them from foreign and domestic threats, including each other.
When you fail in that role, it is our job to step in, and sadly, we’ve done it well enough or often enough, and ins some instances, not at all.
The shortages are a tangible expression of that failure.
And the problem will soon be much worse, and we only have ourselves to blame. So, take ownership. Be responsible. Replace the politicians and demand different policies.
It’s your country, but if you abrogate that responsibility, you’ll lose it for good and bare shelves will become the least of our problems.
