A concatenation of events is dropping on us like an imploding building and there’s not much we can do to stop it. However, we can mitigate some of the potential damage through our individual efforts and need to get started now. (snip) Because of recent crop failures and lackluster harvests, many regional grocery warehouses, which usually have about 18 months’ worth of packaged and frozen food in stock, are practically empty according to a friend whose family owns a large chain of stores. Low stocks of livestock feed and hay due to drought are reducing meat, poultry, milk, and egg production in some areas.

You can hear the left saying to just eat less.

No, they will just scream "Climate change!!" even louder, and insist that us peasants quit driving our cars and keeping our houses at a comfortable living temperature.
Let's go Brandon!!

So, the story basically states we're returning to empty shelves that we experienced about a year ago.

Every tourist that goes to DC should buy as much product as they can afford and take it home. If you live near DC call the local Walmart’s and have as much as you can afford delivered to your home. Let’s buy up everything with if 20 miles of DC and starve them out!

Anonymous, it's even worse when understanding that Lake Mead and Lake Powell are at all-time low levels and irrigation water may not be available this year. The hydro-power plants at these lakes may be shutdown forcing rolling blackouts in the desert southwest. It is common sense to be prepared for the expected shortages.

In our nation which has rejected God, we need to consider that God is real and he is in charge.

Russia's threat to shut down exports of fertilizer made me wonder just how much of that our farmers import and use yearly. Hard to grow crops if you have no fertilizer.

For whatever reason I started to prep about two months before the "covid porn" hit the fan and I have not stopped since. This past weekend I went through my stash, organized it, made a list of what I still needed. Got some new storage containers and I have been shopping for dry goods. Next week I am looking at new freezers to stock ip. Even if it is not as bad as predicted (frankly I think we are in for a real shock) inflation alone is a good reason to take care of your needs. Man cannot live by toilet paper alone. Get busy America. I hope I am over reacting but I am a "rather be safe than sorry" type.

Trying to blame supply-chain failures on natural events is just an attempt to divert blame from the Left, when most of these things are nearly direct results of deliberate shutdowns that were ostensibly to protect us from the covid threat, and the firing of workers who balked at complying with the ensuing "vaccine" mandates that are being inflicted on distribution networks. Weren't lake levels in Lake Mead announced years ago as part of remedial actions being taken against the natural sediment buildups that have been increasingly blocking the hydro-electric generator's turbines?
Revising history to suit their agenda seems to be a pathology of authoritarians, especially demonstrated here by the Left.

You can rest assured that this will not affect our elected officials. They are living off our toil and labour, and they are living large. More importantly, they created this mess in record time.

What the media SHOULD do is to report on what the woke Dems in Congress are eating. What does Taco Barbie crave, and does she ever not get what she wants? Or Nancy Pelosi? Let them eat cake, indeed.

Perhaps it's time to plant that garden, if you have the land to do so, and live in a good climate.

Yes #5, West Texans should be concerned about future water problems too so say Texas Tech experts. Blessed are those who have moved to red areas with abundant water, good soil and plenty of land with trees.

A small arm of the Gulf of Mexico, perhaps ten yards wide and five feet deep at high tide, runs behind my residence, leading into perhaps ten acres of mangroves (a fish hatchery). Virtually everything that swims there is not merely edible but sumptuous. What, for instance? Pompano, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, speckled sea trout, black mullet, snook, redfish.... There's much available. I have my Bubba Blade to filet what I catch. As long as I'm standing on land casting my line, I don't even have to have a Florida fishing license (although every dedicated fisherman should have a fishing license, plus the necessary stamps for certain species at certain times). Food is plentiful for those who can go get it. I pray that harvesting one's own food doesn't become necessary in today's Biden mess.

When people stock up out of a lack of confidence in the Brandon administration, the shelves empty even faster. The perishable stuff may become a problem. Thank goodness ammunition keeps for years.

#8, be careful of relying too much on frozen food in case the electric grid goes upside down. Best to stay with canned, dried and bagged.
#5, I heard a HAM radio conversation last week that informed of wells and water tables drying up in Texas. Not a good time to be low on water.

Let me guess, when the shortages come, the government will seize all food supplies and after feeding themselves and their sycophants, throw the remaining crumbs to the sheeple.
