White House officials warn Americans may face higher prices and some empty shelves this Christmas

#6 

Anyone in super markets can see the empty Food spaces on shelves and price increases over the last few months.

But why the supply bottle neck now and not in 2020?

Is the goal to the BIG Government come to the rescue by taking more control of the FREE MARKET?
Just before the 2022 election cycle?

#7 
ALSO
If there will be shortages in the USA...

WHY the OPEN BORDERS bringing in Millions more mouths?

Personally, we have been buying extra Can foods with BB dates into 2023+ since the start of the year. Plus, I am sure. I am not the only one in my immediate area doing so either.

That's otherwise known as 'inflation.'

#9  Anyone in super markets can see the empty Food spaces on shelves and price increases over the last few months.

FWIW, I dropped $188 at the grocery store yesterday; 3 1/2 lbs. of red meat by itself was $63.80.

#10  Back To The Future! FDR was right. Gov't rationing boards, ration books, stamps, synthetic rubber tires, limits on sugar, beef, gasoline, suspend auto and truck production (except for electrics).

Equity must be achieved at any cost.

#18  skid,

the increase in SSI is automatic, Biden has no direct involvement,

you could argue that by virtue of his policy the inflation is an indirect cause of the increase but there are actually some other causes, e.g. the world wide pandemic

#21  My propane went from $1.55 to $2.50 a gallon. I will survive as I will shoot a deer and turn her into jerky to make up for meat cost rises. I also can veggies but and I still have a 200’ lbs of ground oats. I feel sorry for the country as a whole.

#22 
Natural Gas in my GA Zip code went from $0.51 to $0.79 per therm. A 54.90% increase and SSA COLA is something like 5.61%.

So how do they figure the COLA?
Because it does not seem to be based on my Food, Gas and Utilities inflated costs.

And what happens wen they find out it doesn't have a tag anymore?

#26  re #23: Glenmore, IIRC, the tag says not to be removed except by the consumer.
Posted by: Rambler in Virginia || 10/13/2021 19:01 Comments || Top||

#27  My tag-removing days are long since over, but they used to say Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law. A vague and ominous threat of the power of the State, but also a virtual invitation to rebellious youth.

#4  Corruption has been around a very long time.

Publicize, prosecute, make it clear this is not acceptable. Along the way maybe deter a few who might be thinking of edging into it.

DHS Secretary Mayorkas says he will END workplace raids as part of more limits on immigration enforcement and says Biden will keep using Trump's Title 42 for 'public health' reasons

#1  talk about a no-show job.

what;s the point of even having DHS or immigration if you are actively fighting to keep the door open.

#2  Wokesters' version of DHS = Diligently Helping Sedition

#3  what;s the point of even having DHS or immigration if you are actively fighting to keep the door open.

It's a sinecure for flunkies like Mayorkas.

Biden could become embroiled in the FBI's probe into Hunter's finances
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Emails reveal they SHARED bank accounts, paid each other's bills and the president may have even have funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge.

#1  What probe would that be? I haven't heard jack shit about any serious efforts.

#4  And if I were to for some reason buy a ticket, I "could" win the Georgia lottery.
Posted by: Besoeker || 10/13/2021 3:53 Comments || Top||

#5  Not so fast -- this could be significant if this is paralled by a Treasury investigation into Hunter's many huge wire transfers he received from abroad .

Treasury usually gets automatically involved when large sums of money are being wired into and out of individuals' accounts - as with the multi-million dollar wire transfer Hunter received from the corrupt Russian oligarch and ex-wife of the even more famously corrupt former mayor of Moscow.
Posted by: Patriot || 10/13/2021 5:41 Comments || Top||

#6  Yes, I think it all gets looked at. Who decides whether it will become an active investigation, contents of a manila envelope to be used for "persuasion" or "insurance" or just memory holed is made at other pay grades.

FBI probe? You're new around here, ain'tcha?

#8  "We found nothing untoward in our investigation.

We did, however, pick up some nice Hunter Biden original abstracts for $300K each - for our executive suites"

#9 

Where is the Calls for IMPEACH BIDEN?

If this had "Trump" even mentioned "might have heard..." there would be forests cut down to print the fake news calling for impeachment.
Posted by: NN2N1 || 10/13/2021 9:29 Comments || Top||

#10  ^^^ You've hit on the reason why we don't trust (or these days even read or listen to) the media anymore.
Posted by: Tom || 10/13/2021 11:37 Comments || Top||

#11  ^^^^^ Well, sees some of the media are going after Biden for not holding press conferences. They just found and are publishing about secret joint bank accounts that Joe and son Hunter share.
Posted by: Ebbomoger Speaking for Boskone4589 || 10/13/2021 13:00 Comments || Top||

#12  Wray: "We've interviewed Hunter. He said he didn't do anything. Same with his father. Nothing to see here, we closed the books on this case."
