  1. If you think #inflation has increased since the start of #AmericanCarnage2.0, which #DonaldTheDeplorable calls ‘the Golden Age’ of #America , you’d be right!

    But it’s not because of #tariffs - also known as #TrumpTaxes - most of which are YET to be added to your costs.

    Nor is it due to labor shortages resulting from #deportations and #strikes of farm workers, but food prices will soar soon - with #EmptyShelves.

    No, costs have gone up because the dollar has fallen 10%! nypost.com/2025/07/01/business

  2. Now that #BananaRepublicans have gone ‘full supplicant’ in service of #DonaldTheDeplorable , he in turn is ‘feeling his oats’ and has elevated his self-importance from ‘King of America’ to its Emperor!

    All Emperors know that to survive you must give the people #BreadAndCircus. But since #inflation and #EmptyShelves make bread less available, he is opting for more audacious circus 🎪. sports.yahoo.com/article/trump

  3. #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

  4. 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.

  5. 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."

  6. #emptyshelves

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. #Food Shortages #Brexit #EmptyShelves
    This report from Sky News is very misleading & fails to mention rest of continetal Europe has fully stocked shops

    Shortages of Fresh Fruit/veg is a UK problem.

    I spent Dec & Jan in Andalucia where weather was inordinately warmer than normal, (climate change).

    I live in Brittany just over La Manche where supermarkets are full of Toms & every sort of fruit & veg. Come see, bring a camera crew. Tell Truth BREXIT & 13 years of tories

  9. Holy freaking pasta-geddon, looks like we’ve had a pre-announced apocalypse at the Target pasta aisle!

    Not a snowstorm in sight…
