Is The U.S. Food Distribution System Breaking Down?



End Of The American Dream: Supplies Are Starting To Get Really Tight Nationwide As Food Distribution Systems Break Down

All across America, store shelves are emptying and people are becoming increasingly frustrated because they can’t get their hands on needed supplies. Most Americans are blaming “hoarders” for the current mess, but it is actually much more complicated than that. Normally, Americans get a lot of their food from restaurants. In fact, during normal times 36 percent of all Americans eat at a fast food restaurant on any given day. But now that approximately 75 percent of the U.S. is under some sort of a “shelter-in-place” order and most of our restaurants have shut down, things have completely changed. Suddenly our grocery stores are being flooded with unexpected traffic, and many people are buying far more than usual in anticipation of a long pandemic. Unfortunately, our food distribution systems were not designed to handle this sort of a surge, and things are really starting to get crazy out there.

WNU Editor: The above video of hundreds of cars waiting to receive food from the Greater Community Food Bank in Duquesne (Pensylvania) should be a wake-up call on how bad the situation is out there, and how bad it could get.

I'm guessing part of the issue is that MANY families in the USA have kids that eat most of the meals (free) at school. Remove school = remove food. Sad sh*t.

Democrat leaders are rubbing their hands with glee. "Central Committee and Poltiburo here we come". Their staff get to be apparachiks and everyone else gets to be peons.

Influenza kills 10 times as many people as Corona flu and we do not shut down the country for that.

There were 3 main nodes for the influenza pandemic that we know of. Forty Riley, Etaples and one other. I wonder how stressed the people at Etaples were. How many at Etaples were weakened form previous gas attacks, shell shock or general living conditions? Many people around the world were stressed with poor nutrition at that time. It helps account for the high death toll.

This is temporary; I work for these type companies and they continue to push out products. The issue is in the packaging for specific markets and it takes time to shift production from one type to another. So, the supply side will adapt, it just takes months to make this happen. Cheers!
