I love how it's "coming out of a pandemic and shut downs" as the reasons there are bare shelves and prices are through the roof. It wasn't that way when Trump was around, but now store shelves are beginning to look like we're in the last days of the USSR.

We had to go to three different grocery stores this weekend because things looked so picked over. This wasn't the garbage aisles, either, though they looked pretty sparse. No, I'm referring to the meat aisles and the sports drink aisles, among others. I even went into Walmart, which we avoid doing, and the meat aisle was practically bare.

Gas prices are not skyrocketing, the labor shortages are from the pandemic, not "Democrat socialist policies, vaccine mandates are not cutting the workforce......

Of course you can post some actual facts to the contrary...when you make them up that is.

Your definition of skyrocketing is subjective and probably has a high ceiling due to your bias. I would say anything above a 10% increase would be a bad thing for business. We are are pushing 50% and in some areas(blue states) even more

Whats your % when you say skyrocketing? You cant just use a term without defining it.

Skyrocketing implies they are currently going up, and by a lot. They're not. But yes, they're higher than pre and mid-pandemic levels for obvious reasons. Few of which have anything to do with the Biden administration.

Gas was $3.38 at the end of October and rose to a high of $3.41 mid-November. They're currently $3.29.

Up a dollar a gallon since he took office.

Thats skyrocketing whether you admit it or not.

And it certainly has a lot to do with Bidens policies and rhetoric against fossil fuels.

Bold and in red font ends this "argument". SKYROCKETING. No matter how the libs try to downplay it/shrug it off, the cost is HELL of a lot more than the 99 cent gasoline we enjoyed briefly under Trump.

Biden* can only dream in his dementia-impacted stupor about gas prices this low on his pathetic watch.

Please tell me you have a rudimentary understating of the English language and verb tenses? I completely suck on that subject, but even I know that skyrocketing means it is currently happening. IT. IS. NOT. That's what the poster claimed and I showed that is not the case with actual data that is not in dispute.

If he said that it skyrocketed in the last year, then yes, it did. But it is not currently! And yes, it may skyrocket again as summer approaches.

It's really not that complicated.

And just because a few stations in a few states were really cheap for a few minutes when the pandemic first raged and demand plummeted, it doesn't mean what the majority were paying was less than a dollar for any sustained period! The average price in the USA per gallon was $2.42 his first full month in office in February, 2017, and fell to a low of $1.94 in April of 2020 as the pandemic hit, then finished his term in January of 2021 back at $2.42. So, I guess the skyrocket rise from $.99 to $2.42 was trump's fault?

I just have one question: I wonder if those American commies actually believe what is being fed to them by THE SOB's administration? Do those idiot commies who post here actually believe it or are they just echoing the Bull Schiff because they are paid to do so? If it's in front of their faces and they still deny it is it because they're stupid or what other reason...THE SOB narrative? Hey, being stupid or following THE SOB narrative is the same thing. LOL

Tom is hung up on the word Skyrocketing - OK fine.... Gas prices are not currently Skyrocketing. However prices have Skyrocketed. That you cannot weasel-word around.


"Skyrocketing" - action verb - the current process of rising
"Skyrocketed" - past participle verb - end result of the process of skyrocketing


Tom, Gas Prices Skyrocketed over the last 12 months. Deny it?

I didn’t take pictures, but my wife sent me to the store Saturday with a list of about 40 items. I could not purchase many as they were out of stock. They were assorted - Spinach (fresh), Romain lettuce, 2 different types of bottled water, orange juice, bananas, navy beans and pinto beans. Additionally, no half gallons of 2% milk, had to buy a gallon and had to buy a jumbo bag of Kale as none in the size we usually get.

What struck me was the empty sections that seemed supplied specific. That seems to rotate like they get deliveries every 4 days instead of every two. Like the good ol’ 80s of the USSR, you need to go every day because the stock varies so much.

What an idiotic argument full of semantics.

Skyrocketing when discussing price inflation ,or inflation in general, has to do with the trajectory over a period of time...which in this case is based on month over month increases, and guess what

Its SKYROCKETING

RedTom doing the semantics game dance yet again?

Shocking


And how about we do this to see how things are really coming along:

Simply change "gas" prices to fuel.

How about doubling natural gas since this time last year?

Doubling. But Ima guess that's not "skyrocketing" either, probably called something else.

Tell that fantasy to the near 50% of ALL HOMES in this once great Country that heat their homes with the natty.

Yea, sure. Nothing to see here...

Not my president.

I think the answer is even easy enough for this administration.

“It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”

I've been dealing with bare shelves, too. Frustrating to say the least.

I tend to go to Kroger and Walmart. My wife goes to Target.

I had to buy a $6 stick of antiperspirant because they have been out of the brand I buy.

Try finding bar soap -- hit or miss.

In the produce section various lettuces wiped out. Bread, chips, various canned goods, low our out.

These darn supply line issues SUCK!!!!

But then somebody posted a very pertinent question: Why are the shelves bare except for the seasonal aisle which is loaded with Valentine's candy?


Last time I was at Walmart, Saturday night, I recall thinking to myself, "The valentine candy is already out."

After seeing the FB post about valentine candy/supply chain I had to agree... the walmart shelves were stocked full of valentine stuff, but groceries and certain other items, nope.

Here's a tough one...is it worse to suffer through the term of #BareShelvesJoe or dementia sets in and KhamUhLa takes over?

Believe what? Provide some specifics.

My local WalMart still has shortages of many items on occasion. Never said otherwise. And I can only speak from my personal experience in my local store when I say that I saw more empty shelf space in the spring, summer and fall of 2020 then I do now.
