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. coffee is one of those things you can live without really easily. OTOH its easy to store some too. As are pickles

Yeah, we can drink tea. We fought the Revolutionary war over tea. We'd have a nuclear war if someone tried to deprive us of coffee.

Got to love monetized YouTube channels. They won’t get clicks unless we all going to starve. $$$ 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. No money in that for the youtubers. The doom gloom fear based industry is probably approaching billions by now. And people eat it up and the YouTubers are getting rich. Easy to spot by the title and pictures on the front of the video.

When people talk about food shortages, we cajuns just giggle. You have it pretty good there in some parts. Our property is too close to Houston/Austin. Smack in the middle. City folks will start looking... it won't be pretty for them as whats ours is ours to do with. And 100 acres will provide. But it won't provide for many. Having Louisiana in your back yard is a good thing. Like having public land Alaska in our back yard. We won't starve in either place though I hope that we are in AK or can get there if it ever gets bad. No food shortage up there and half the year no one would be stupid enough to try to come get stuff.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Getting the new house plumbed and wired for bidet seats. If the zombies come at least I'll have pickles and be as fresh as a daisy.

168 Food Processing Plants either Down or Production has been Limited..
I’d say Sailor Take Warn.. 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. This.
