Republicans about to get what they wanted

Empty store shelves, remember when we all can't get food that the ones who voted for this were conservatives and fence sitters who are democrat one year and not the next and not the next, just like a fad diet

Dont speak too soon.. Maybe Chinese imports will leave shelves empty. But food prices will rise considerably before shortages happen..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Well we get what we wanted either way, either food prices rising and food shortages next but Americans wanted it. Just like America farmers are struggling to make ends meet after half their labor either don't show up out of fear or get deported to prisons for being hard workers all their lives because Americans are petty like that. But we wanted it that way.

@SatanBurger I happen to agree with you. I just see the economics playing out in a different order..Local shortages of perishables always show up as price rises first.. The best example of what happens if you hold the line on prices when shortages happen in staples is the Irish Potato Famine,..😷
