Yes, it is true. The shelves are emptying. And the prices are going up.
First stop of awareness for yours truly? The produce section. You know those little plastic bags you put your beans in? Gone.
Second stop of awareness for yours truly? The meat department. Where two packages of stewing beef are now twice what they used to cost. The same for chicken. I can only imagine what Thanksgiving turkeys will be priced at. You might want to stock up on your holiday ramen noodles now. Oh, wait, those shelves were empty, too.
Before you start blaming Biden or Trump for these problems, please look in the mirror. We are the ones who are accepting mediocrity for our government leaders. For the past forty years, we have ignored capability and let it be replaced by marketing plans. So what if the Transportation Secretary, the infamous Mayor Pete, has no experience in that area especially since he couldn't fix the pot holes in his home city of South Bend? He's gay and he's a father and we should be proud that he just took the full complement of paternity leave during a major crisis.
This is the kind of leaders we now accept and even embrace. And we have done so for about four decades now.
Woe is us.
No better example of this came with that dopey CNN Town Hall lunkhead Anderson Cooper conducted with the President last week. With all the burgeoning issues confronting this nation right now, the Town Hall addressed none of that, thanks to Cooper's kindergarten-level questions. Jeez, I know Anderson is used to have somebody's dick in his mouth, but he really should draw the line at the POTUS.
I still don't know how anybody could have watched Biden's performance and not be enraged, whether you voted for him or not.
We're in trouble, folks.
Dinner last night: Leftover Chinese pork.
