#EmptyShelves moment: I stopped by the yarn store to get blocking supplies for the scarf I'm about to finish #knitting
They've been having trouble restocking Eucalan and Soak, since both are from Canada
social media is full of SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS!
STOCK UP NOW! EMPTY SHELVES SOON!
so when an unexpected check showed up in today’s mail for $50.24, I deposited it immediately, headed over to Aldi’s and spent $86.54. I did that right, amirite?
I’m not sure how well pickles, pineapple, pinto beans, and paper towels taste in a recipe, but I’m prepared!
Take that you tariff-mongerers! /s
Meanwhile, container ships are being diverted and delayed. Think empty shelves during COVID were bad?Is THIS what you voted for?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-trade-war-means-empty-195919038.html
People have no idea how much damage will be done to the economy & to anyone's ability to find anything other than empty shelves due to cheeto pissing off every other nation on the planet - except authoritarian backwaters with little that we want or need.
So anyway, good luck affording that Memorial Day and July 4th steak to grill.
We are one bad summer away from rationing food.

Thought #EmptyShelves were a thing of the past in this pandemic? Think again.
Local chemist in #meanjin #brisbane completely SOLD OUT of #covid rapid antigen tests #RAT. Several shelves were well stocked there a week ago. Summer wave really kicking off.

Our food supply chain has an over-dependence on roads and fossil fuel
"Topography coupled with low population densities mean many regions are served by only one or, at most, two main roads suitable for freight trucks. We are nearly totally reliant on roads but our road networks are particularly vulnerable to climatic events and other natural disasters."
"As recent research highlights, there could be multiple benefits to reducing reliance on roads...Tackling our potential vulnerability to climate change needs to be undertaken in the context of a wider strategy for the entire food system."

Relying on flooded roads and fossil fuel trucks to be fed when successive shocks such as climate disasters and pandemics strike...
"During the floods, food supply chains bent or broke. Food simply couldn’t get into some towns in the the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales."
"Our new research found that shortening supply chains will be vital to make regions more resilient to these shocks."
"Food insecurity is on the rise – and worsened by disasters."

1788 First colonists on tight rations as food is shipped in

There are so many rural 'lifestyle blocks' in the #Bellingen area that do not grow any food, just hectares of lawn.

Honestly, if you were serving at Vindolanda (Roman Fort, South of Hadrian's Wall), North East UK, you could order olives and fish sauce and they would be delivered in the second century CE. Today, tomatoes are rationed.
All the advantage of transport and infrastructure since wiped out by reclaiming our borders.
I despair.
There are no food shortages in Italy. Just spent 5 days there and frui and veg are bountiful. No empty spaces on the shelves.
People in this country need to look up from their fecking phones and pay attention. #FoodRationing #BrexitBritain #EmptyShelves
The simple truth is, after Brexit, if there are ever problems with EU harvests, then supplies to the UK will be cut to maintain supplies across the Single Market. We've literally moved ourselves to the very end of the fruit and veg queue.
