Empty store shelves is warmed over scarmongering from covid.

As for skyrocketing grocery prices, I do remember that happening once not too long ago.

Hint: It wasn't during a Trump administration.
Grow up. The inflation that occurred during Biden's presidency had practically nothing to do with Biden. It was a world-wide phenomenon largely precipitated by the worst pandemic the world had seen in a century. I know it. You know it. So let's quit with the dissembling kabuki theater, because it's a waste of time.

Also, I'm not predicting empty store shelves. Oranges and other produce can be obtained from other locations around the globe. What I am predicting are significantly higher prices for certain staples of the American diet, and in this case the inflation will be directly attributable to the policies (such as they are) of the current president.

Yep....seems to be plenty of produce at all the markets I go to.
They love to predict doom and gloom.

Let me resolve your seeming confusion.

I predict some empty store shelves, yes. Since in some places in the US empty shelves for certain items are already a reality, I have to assume you are either ignorant of that fact, or thinking in terms of extensive tracts of empty shelving. Like, whole aisles of cobwebs or whatever. I'm not predicting that at all.

So I get it now. Serious engagement is not your thing, and you continue with the dodging and dancing. Cool at your age, I guess. Take breaks though, and keep around some liniment for your lumbago.

It’s clear you don’t understand what socialism is
If you've ever said the Democrats are socialists, and I have little doubt that you have (it's a MAGA talking point), then you don't have an inkling what socialism is either.

I see this as a positive thing. It will force the farm owners to stop picking up people standing in front of Home Depot or wherever and actually hire regular employees at a decent wage.
Are you ready to pay that? Then all is well.

And I do hope that you bought not cheap but responsible in the past.

Are you Sonhouse? You predict, what, higher prices? Well, let us wait and see, we will test the Trump Theory, ....that, when he drills for oil and spreads it around, (truckers, manufacturers, you get the picture) teh cost of just about everything will drop. Let us see. You vs Trump.
I'm hearing he will use OPEC to starve out Putin who will have no recourse but to ...[text shortened]... e man a few more hundred hours. Hey, will y'all let him play golf, he has been working his ass off.
I guess you didn't hear the part where SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of farm workers are not showing up. So 3/4 of the crops won't be picked and will rot just like the last time Trump fuuked with farm workers.
I guess you would say, put those cursed fired federal workers to work picking potato's and beans.
