I think he was looking at all the glass jars that come from China. Pickles are just a small fraction of all the stuff that's packed in glass. If glass became unavailable, the stores would lose half their inventory.

Would also mean viable alternatives to glass jars simply aren't available? Like plastic or bags?

Yup, these shortages are intensional and it’s not being done to raise prices and profits.

It all leads back to the Global Warming scam.

Ya can’t even buy painters caulk. I have been told it’s because they can’t get/make the tubes. Going back to cardboard, but that requires trees soooo.

When in doubt....run in circles, scream and shout.

Nothing wrong with a deep pantry and several freezers.

If for no other reason it allows time for you weather shortage and high prices.

Buy it cheap and stack it deep.

One thing in this that could become short would be coffee. Very little is grown in the US, only in HI and PR. The HI coffee is Kona and very expensive. They can't come even close to filling Americans' demand for it. Most of ours comes from South America. A disruption in shipping, a major crop failure, or maybe a civil war could cut imports dramatically.


Sin wouldn't be so attractive if the wages were paid immediately.

In a pinch... Chrystal Meth is a viable alternative... and cheaper.

If you do a little reasearch you’ll find that there is more than enough food being produced than necessary to feed the entire Earth’s populatin. That’s no BS and has been true for years. Why are there food shortages? This humble man’s opinion says “Greed.”

In all seriousness I do start a year with 2 years worth of food, I'm not LDS and been this way awhile, not from fear but common sense.

Thanksgiving canned food and bake goods are deeply discounted, I buy by the case at .49 a can, cooking broths, soups, vegetables, couple turkeys. Christmas it's meat, rib roasts 3.97lb, new york also, usually get 3 and cut into about 50 steaks for the year, save the extra fat to grind into elk or deer burger. The grilling holidays are dogs and burger, chicken when it's on sale... just repackage and freeze for individual use same as wild game. Same with condiments, crackers, pasta, coffee I have a bunch of the good stuff, my wife loves Kona so that's what I make sure she has, couple years worth... even whisky though we don't drink but a few times a month. Wild turkey was 12.99 this last week, bought 4 bottles.

Dry goods are easy enough, I do probably lose a hundred bucks of food a year, can't eat all the 3/1.00 ramon and some bake goods go stale.

Perishables are hard to get at affordable prices now, that's a fact.

Right? No mention that the majority of manufacturers are (trying to) move manufacturing out of China as fast as they can for political and financial reasons. China is experiencing that "giant sucking sound" from the other side, as we speak.

That’s it, that’s all they are there for, nothing else, all of them.

A lot of Americans can go months without eating maybe even a year. It might do the country good to shed some fat.

coffee is one of those things you can live without really easily.

OTOH its easy to store some too.

They're producing a product - information. That's no different than any other business. Some products are better than others, some being worthless, some being great. Let the public decide what's best.
