Title: Grocery produce shelves are already becoming bare.

Grocery produce shelves are already becoming bare.

When I checked out this morning at my local neighborhood market, the one that sells lots of organic produce, I went through the checkout desk that was manned by the store's owner. I set my basket down and said, "looks like your produce delivery didn't arrive yesterday." "Why would you say that?" he asked. "There's very little produce," I replied. "That's all we could get; we'll try again later this week," he said. There was a pause while I paid for my purchase. I gathered up my things to leave and said, "Well, I didn't vote for him." "Neither did I," he said. "I campaigned against him."

Are DUmmies so stooooopid as to lap this up? Stores hereabouts are fully stocked. Admittedly, California's lettuce bowl is just 2 or 3 hours' drive south of Silicon Valley, the Salinas Valley.

ASSuming it actually happened, produce us seasonal, and every grower has their harvest times. For example, in Yolo County California, the asparagus picking season runs from about late March through early May. Consequently, stores in Woodland or Davis that carried fresh asparagus has to guesstimate availability timing in setting up contracts with growers from the Inyo Valley (in SoCal) all the way north to the Redding area or Oregon. If DUmmie Sogo's :bouncy: is not fiction, the store must have guesstimated wrong with their produce source timing or a grower had a poor crop or the store was experiencing the consequences of poor bill-paying habits.

Well, maybe if this DUchebag would shop at a regular store and not some fancy, overpriced one that sells organic veggies perhaps they would have the veggies that they claim they can't get.

If we're really worried about a bunch of withering fruits and vegetables not being properly disposed of, let's start with DU.

Anecdotal crapola to push a political narrative. In the nation's breadbasket, our grocery stores aisles of produce are plentiful as I noticed on Sunday.

The first really good batch of corn on the cob should be ready this week. There is already some, but the early batches usually aren't anything special. The peak season is from about July 10 to August 15. And it is ALWAYS plentiful.

Mrs. SVPete and I were at some grocery stores last weekend - Lucky, Safeway, Whole Paycheck, and Smart & Final - for various reasons. All four have large "organic" sections. The produce bins in all three were full, with restocking boxes here and there. Like I posted above, either the DUmmie's store of choice had a seasonal/supplier problem or it's just :bouncy:-fiction, a DU staple commodity.

The reason for any shortages is due to the fact that I bought all the stuff up  :naughty: :naughty:

I believe this one and I'll tell you why.  Leftists run the cam organic stores and i have no doubt that they use under the table lower wage illegals to pick their crops that they then charge double for to other stupid lefitsts.

Hey DUmbass, you've already used the "bare shelves" scare tactic. It was somewhere between egg prices and the collapse of the economy due to tariffs. Do a little more research. I'm sure you can find something original to be alarmed about.

I’m pretty sure dems have exhausted their creativity in terms of scare tactics. They just cycle between fears of WWIII, the economy crashing, food shortages, lack of government staff, guns, Nazis, and so on.

Capitalists are just lucky and socialists don't have the right people running the economy.
