Covid-like shortages for US consumers ‘within weeks’

“I am this giant store. It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there,” he said. “And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I’ll say, ‘If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.’ ” - Trump

What a god damn clown. I can't tell if he's to stupid to realize what he's doing... or knows exactly what he's doing, and giving the most moronic responses to his actions. Basically, I can't tell where on the IQ range he is, from "can't wipe his own ass" or "actual genius"

I think they’re just trying to get us to panic buy stuff again

PLEASE GO PANIC BUY

United States of Corporations

This rhetoric is just trying to butter us up for the impending next round of price gouging.

If something seems too expensive, don’t buy it and opt for goods with less headway for markup. Start cooking scratch meals and cut out the prefab stuff; you’ll take more time for food prep, but it will save you thousands in medical bills later on.

If you deposed your dictator this wouldn't be happening.

There are actually quite a few things at WalMart made in the USA. That was big news in the 90s? early 00s? Do stock up on medical supplies like diabetic test strips and maybe get that new glucose tester today. I bet business in Thailand and Cambodia booms this year.

As someone who doesn't live in the US, I'm looking forward to watching this unfold.

It's going to hurt Trump. I'm sorry a lot of Dem voters will be collateral damage but honestly, an economic shit storm of biblical magnitude is pretty much the only thing that can save you IMO.

Some things should suddenly get much cheaper as well, like Pork.

Y'all are gonna roast the shit out of me, but I really have a strong urge to buy toilet paper before all the weirdos start clearing the shelves (which I am fully aware makes me one of the weirdos)

There any sense on what would be good to stock up on now? When I've searched this, the advice is usually pretty worthless. Just advice indistinguishable from general prepper stuff. I've seen recommendations to stock up on things like flour, things that the US produces domestically in abundance. But some necessities are going to be more vulnerable to disruptions in shipments from China than others.

Anyone find a good guide or have a sense of what basic household necessities are going to be most vulnerable to disruption of trade with China? I'm not concerned with things like consumer electronics right now, those are luxuries. I'm talking basic food and household staples. I don't need the standard prepper list that's meant to prepare you for grave natural disasters. What's really needed is an analysis of precisely what necessities are most likely to be interrupted by this.

Has anyone seen such a list, or have a sense for what necessities are most vulnerable here?

Glad I've lived poor. Can easily weather the tide

Everyone ready to start intermittent fasting without choice?

I have the worst timing …. I’ve been trying to eat my way down to an empty freezer. I bought a chest freezer in covid and kept it full ever since, but it really needs to be defrosted. I still have more stuff in there than can fit in all my coolers and in the fridge.

But maybe I should restock while I can and try again to defrost in four years

rump proves he still has no idea what a tarriff is:

“I am this giant store. It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there,” he said. “And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I’ll say, ‘If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.’ ”

Let's see how long they can survive on thoughts and prayers.

Let me put it this way. Today I spent over $700 on a massive amount of groceries and various toiletries.

Anything that hurts americans is a good thing.

WTF, this bullshit again.

I bet the US bomb stores are still fully stocked for *srael.

I'm living the dream with individually wrapped quilted 3-ply tp rolls and $1.75/doz eggs. Current version of the us sucks balls.

I feel like these articles might not be true and then we all act like the sky is falling and then it doesn't. Like yesterday I saw posts about Trump wearing blue. But lots of people wore blue. I think there's bait going around

i blame carter

Why is he being allowed out of his room?

The article is behind a paywall. Do you have other sources?

They really want to pick up where they left off huh
