The post has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with food.

This is happening in the US too, you tards. I work in a grocery store and deliveries are like half the size they used to be lately due to shortages.

>>16677565
Imagine meeting someone who tells you he's from the "food and drink administration" and not instinctively stabbing him in the liver.

>>16677598
Your mom is half the size

But where are the shortages coming from? Most everyone is back to work and the govt ended covid benefits already

>>16677644
New world order, plz understand

>>16677644
Everyone in farm labor, packing, and shipping were sucked into an alternate dimension.

The tone of this shit...

>>16677644
It takes longer to scale logistics back up than it does to wind them down. In England it's probably a bigger longer term issue because they're a small island more dependent on imports and engaged in a trade feud with their physically closest partners.

don't care as long as i can still get my beanz and deenz

Society is flattening the curve, so be better, we're all in this together, now let's get through this.

Yea well some of us have a shred of dignity left.

>>16677778
No you don't. Anger isn't dignity.

>>16677782
Neither is subsiding on scraps

Oh no the hecking supermarkets undercut the HGV drivers payment and benefits over years now nobody wants to work for them!!!

>>16677787
It is if you're stoic about it.

>>16677801
Brother, there just ain't no way to be stoic when you're scooping shit into your mouth.

>>16677801
You can be stoic about having standards as well
There nothing stoic about being a barefoot bottomfeeder

What do I need to stock up on, other than rice, beans, lentils and water?

>>16677812
Do you just throw words around and hope they make sense?

>>16677869
Buy non-perishables that will be highly valuable for bartering in the end-times. Things like batteries, blankets, tarps, large containers for water, matches, etc. Also arm yourself by whatever means you can.

This is so much more important than food.

>>16677869

Fritos and cheese dip.

>>16677644
Logistics are just still backed up. It's not as simple as flicking a "shit's no longer fucked" switch. Note that the companies known for having good logistics (Coca-Cola, for example) are able to stock their stuff fully.

Hasn't happened to me at all. If anything my local places are actually more well-stocked recently, I've been able to find more weird shit like raw gator and PB2 because i'm a /fit/fag.

Why isn't trying to incite panic like this illegal?

They also need a loisense to open a children's lemonade stand and each lemon must be inspected by the official lemon inspection checklist for confirmation that each one is in fact a lemon (quite a few limes were getting mixed in, you know). The. After a small fee and a few stamps one pitcher at a time can be certified provided the ice inspector tests a few ice cubes for ph balance (you must wait for them to melt naturally, you know, because heating them unnaturally may affect the ph. Anyway once those two are done and you have your loiscenses then you can apply for a small business loisense provided your village doesn't find emmas lemonade stand an eyesore, you know. So once you have renovated your 2 by 4s and it has passed the building code then she can sell to customers

It's legal when the government's official mouthpieces do it.

>>16678061
China has pretty much completed the task of rounding up dissident voices in Hong Kong. Hong Kong media is a mouthpiece for China.

For me it's broth cubes, canned tomatoes, and canned chilies- they really make beans and rice go from survival rations to actual food.

>>16677956
You aren't wrong.
When you go to college, you're buying a specific grade of programming. Not just field knowledge and experience, but also the values and morals of those who are in your field and those who are teaching you. The grade of your programming depends on the school and the quality of the professors. It's like choosing which teat you want to to suckle milk from.

>>16678195
You have to eat anyway.
The question is, will you buy now or wait for it to become more expensive.
Having a good pantry great if you are stuck at home for whatever reason.

>>16678216
Sorry but you mean The United States of Europe. Nobody pretends they are different countries.

>>16678233
Its now crucial more than ever we build that transatlantic semen pipeline to keep bongs from starving.

t. everyone buying toilet paper in early 2020

>>16677598
A lot of this has to do with truckers not making or being able to make deliveries from what I understand. Those trucks break down regularly and require parts, from countries that aren't doing business with us due to covid.

>>16678288
I haven't really regretted it, still have some of my covid shitpaper.
What? Am I supposed to be sad that I've made less trips to the store ?

>>16678293
The point is that the threat in scarcity in the news is what caused the scarcity itself. Same shit happens with oil every now and then.

>>16678302
People should have six months of food on hand, minimum. If it takes a couple panics to make them realize this, all the better.

>>16678377
Take your meds, schizo.

>>16677644
Play a city builder video game sometime and pause production of one vital resource in a production line for a year and see what happens. I'll tell you what happens, your game is fucked m8.

If it's due to a euro trucker shortage will they accept american emigrant truckers? The climate here fucking sucks I want to live where it's 40-60 fahrenheit all the time.

>>16678419
Go get your forced poke, glowbot.

>>16677598
The problem is there aren't enough freight truck workers.

>>16677572
>also this.
God Bless the US of A

>>16677598
Every time I go to the store they are fully stocked. Even if they did have a shortage all I would need is a dairy cow and I'm set. I've been food prepping for years.

>>16677956
mmm oh you know it's some tasty cope when they bring up something completely irrelevant that they hold such a strong opinion on

>>16677787
>>16677801
It is unacceptable to be stoic in starving in a society, if you were in the wilds or in some mad Max esq scenario, it would be acceptable

>>16678636

Retard.

>>16678678
Rude

>>16677565
Imagine living in a country that has a supply chain problem

>>16677565
Kind of ironic that /pol/ would be whining about this because making sure supply chains from all across the world are 100% efficient so that large supermarket chains can sell them at marginally cheaper prices is more of a neoliberal ideal
So you can't buy the exact brand of European beer you want, cry more. Buy local, if a certain vegetable you wanted to cook with is unavailable then change your dish slightly

>>16678052
it says cnn right on the post, you illiterate cunt

>>16679213
That's the point
Although lately there seem to have been some shortages near me, nothing major though just some cuts of meat aren't there

>>16677598
Everyone is disagreeing with this anon, but I can attest. Half our orders just don't show up, what does is usually rationed out throughout the week. I work in the seafood department, and today alone our sockeye salmon, mussels, snow crab, and halibut got shorted. Everything else we're losing between 10-30% of our orders on average. In contrast, warehouses are trying to get rid of anything they can because orders just aren't getting delivered. Last week we got force shipped around 15 cases of salmon portions that were expected to go out of date within a couple of days. Yesterday, we got force shipped not one, but two different kinds of King Salmon.

We do a good job of making the shelves not look empty, but we do that by spreading everything out. Ever since COVID began, several of our items have just been straight up unobtainable. Of the things we are getting, prices are going by ludicrous amounts. Snow crab is $25 per lb. right now, king crab over $50. Lobsters are above $20 per lb., tails are between $8-18 each depending on the size, cod it at $14, and hell, even catfish is going up for the first time I've ever seen.

You fags won't be laughing at preppers in a year or two.

Just remember this.
You urbanite, vaxxinated subhumans. You'll all fucking regret this shit.

>>16679302
Wait why would we regret anything when the virus isn't real? Or why would we regret it when the virus is real but its just the flu?
Or is the virus real but you can inject disinfectant to remove it? Or is the virus also real and deadly and we shouldn't say we want Trump to die of it?
I can't keep up

>>16679302

>>16679364
Just wanted to know whether the virus was real, was fake, was real but nothing to worry about or was real and we should worry and the so called tolerant left shouldn't joke about it

>oh no I'll only be able to eat in season, locally produced products

I'm not laughing at preppers now- I'm laughing at you personally, you petulant little apocalypse-fetish faggot. Your constant praying that some event happens to your opposition, which is currently wiping the floor with you, that removes that opposition from the board.

my foodbank which has always overflowed with a great variety of excess food from local grocers now has much thinner selection of nice stuff. still wayyyyy more food than i could eat though, just less fancy stuff.

>>16679470
There are two passages from the same talmudic book cited in that image, you card-carrying professional retard, and you could've been referring to either one.

>>16679470
And the other passage is paraphrased- it's about Jews being positively obligated not to help gentiles out of life-threatening situations, discussed using the allegory of a gentile inside a pit.

Reading through the rest of this is a massive laugh- it's written so clearly from the schizophrenic perspective of a person that cannot possibly conceive of any action being taken for the action's own sake, and every action being a machination against him. Geniunely poetic in a fucked-up way.

>>16677565
Pay us a fair wage and we'll do the job. Otherwise you'll have to live without your precious treats.
