Uncle Intel - Supply Chain Breakdown (Grocery) | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 69917360 ![]() 05/05/2020 12:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The old political joke is..."Farmers vote according to their last harvest !" If they made "a lot" of money they voted Republican... if they are in debt, they vote Democrat to get some help. Today the "rich party" is the Democrats. There are many rich that support policies that are in their interests and not the "common man's" interest. I no longer have any farmers in my family but it is generally true that "farmers" are working to make a profit. If they don't have a very good chance to make a profit they get out of farming. Forty years ago I knew of an old farmer that bought a new Cadillac auto every two or three years... and would put "Welfare Cadillac" sticker on the back window. He was getting paid NOT go grow crops on a certain amount of land. To have "bread and circuses"(policy of the Ancient Romans) to keep the common man"happy" you have to have goobermunt policy that provides for a relatively cheap food supply, and entertainment...I guess that is why the National Football league is not paying taxes...so Someone will provide the "entertainment"... So GOOBERMUNT sets policy that encourages a good supply of Agi-products... Check out The Year Without Summer" [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78252175 This isn't necessarily a supply chain breakdown. This may be people getting their stimulus checks and using it to buy food to protect themselves from inflation (e.g. they think food prices are going to rise). So, on a basic level, Americans stocking up on food may be causing the supply chain to have disruptions. It doesn't mean a complete supply breakdown. As most of this food comes from the United States. It likely means Americans are stocking up on food expecting inflation in food (prices to go up, continually). ...supply of food will return. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76461169 ![]() 05/05/2020 01:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These products were all delivered last week. They will not be delivered next week. And the week following the list will get longer and longer. Quoting: petractia Just posting here for those that take the info and do something productive. I'll post more next week if there is more to share. Back in January, with the supply chain was disrupted due to the lockdown of China, I knew big parts of the retail economy in the US and elsewhere would start wheezing later in the year. But I was thinking along the lines of non-essential crap sold at Walmart of Dollar Tree. I wasn't thinking as much of perishables or important foodstuffs like meat, etc. When I think of countries in the same boat we're in but that don't even have much of an agricultural industry - such as Japan or parts of Europe, I go oh-oh. Yeah I did not foresee toilet paper, rice and pasta still be out of stock. I’m still okay for now, because I prepared. Whatever’s going to happen wont be much longer coming, because things are going to change one way or another. Target had huge amounts of name brand toilet paper today. TP crisis is labeled; OVER |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78878059 And as far as meats go... national sandwich chains are removing roast beef from their menus. Chicken and tuna are next to go Pardon me, Turkey not chicken (but maybe that too) So does this mean no Thanksgiving turkey? Pardon me, but will this mean no pardons for bread and butter this year? ![]() |

The people won't care about Taiwan when they are starving at home. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77561269 No one's going to be starving here, we produce too much food. You might have to do without certain products for a while, but there's still plenty of food. Yeah, they're dumping milk on the ground or digging holes and burying their produce. Meanwhile the lines for food bank help/ emergency food boxes stretch longer than 2 miles. There's a disconnect there somewhere!

Pooka User ID: 47917533 ![]() 05/05/2020 01:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many of them are owned by Chinese companies? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77561269 I want to know the extent that Chinese companies have in our food supply chain.... They inflict as much domestic damage as possible and then invade Taiwan. The people won't care about Taiwan when they are starving at home. 38% of our farmlands so far, I heard yesterday. Not a clue about packaging plants. Many of our farmers and ranchers, so hurt, so despondent, so unable to pay the bills after last spring's debacle [with one promised for this year, again] and no heart left to keep trying, they sold to get themselves out of debt - necessity. Who was buying? Who desperately needs more food for their country? This after how many millions of acres leased to them by Russia in prime growing grounds? I have no idea how many other companies - just the big ham place that used to be American is the only one I know. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. “I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” Abraham Lincoln I sign all karma given. Would that those giving it to me followed suit. |

You don't get it do you? The farmers can supply the cattle but with nobody to process the meat- it all shuts down. Farmers don't butcher the cows and filet it to choice meats. Nobody to process= no meat. They are euthanizing healthy cows right now because nobody is there to process it. Same with Tyson, the biggest chicken farm in the world s shutting down, they are killing all their chickens and closing shop. |

Each list is ordered specifically to whom it was given to. Don’t know why you didn’t blur the GMs last name or those responsible for pickup, or whatever but the fact you are showing names ain’t cool. If I was one of those guys I’d pop yer uncle in the throat with his potato cam and shove it up his ass. |

Farmers would go to jail if they attempted to butcher and package the meat and then deliver it to a grocery store. It would be illegal for them to do this. There is a shortage of independent butchers who are liensed to take the cattle. |
