Before They Were An Inconvenience, But Now The Shortages Are Really Beginning To Sting
“Have you noticed that store shelves are starting to get emptier and emptier? During the panic shopping that was sparked by the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020, there were very intense shortages of certain items, but those shortages did not last very long at all. But now there are widespread shortages in just about every sector of our economy, and they are starting to become quite painful. Unfortunately, we are being told to expect the shortages to intensify as we head into the holiday season. That is extremely alarming, because in many areas the shortages are already quite severe.”
Before too much longer, I’d expect hoarding to further aggravate it, in the retail grocery space.
I expect hoarding will come into play very soon. Stocking up on non-perishables.
There is more to the supply issues than we are seeing. I have no idea what they are other than the usual Covid excuse.
