Are More Food Shortages Coming?




Susan Duclos 


As life for many are starting to go back to normal with the reopening of many states, and "normal" never coming back for others that have lost their jobs and worry about where their next meal will come from, we are noting a number of establishment media stories acknowledging the dire circumstances and warning that things will get worse before getting better... if better is even in the cards.

When the MSM finally gets around to telling the truth, you know the situation has gone past the point of being able to spin it.

...how many Americans are seeing empty shelves, having limits put on their purchases of certain products, are waiting in very long lines just to be able to shop as stores limit the amount of customers allowed in.

Three days ago WSB-TV Atlanta put up a slide show of images taken at their local stores.


Anyone still in doubt that multiple stores from one end of the country to others, I only grabbed a few images, there are 20 at the WSB-TV Atlanta website, see for yourself. There are also hundreds found by just doing a search.

The point here is that many stores, especially in bigger cities and towns, those that depend on imports or food from other states or processing plants, are constantly running out of food.

Smaller local stores and towns that have their own butchers, farmers, and ranchers, are not feeling the bite as harshly as others are.

 Not only are we seeing shortages, but according to CNN (I know, I know, but I am making the point that even liberal establishment media is being forced to report on these issues now), grocery bills were much higher in May as the prices of meat increased yet again. (Archive.is link here)

We have not only seen a food chain supply collapse, and food price increases, but due to the shut down of states all across America has experts predicting an unprecedented surge in bankruptcies to occur next.

Top that off with Bloomberg's recent report that as many as "25,000 U.S. Stores May Close in 2020," mostly in malls across the nation.

As I stated, finally the MSM is reporting on these issues as the examples above show, but quite often they bury it as soon as it is published, and they almost never put all of what is happening together in one article to show the bigger picture.
