Much obliged.
You are confusing frankness with rudeness. I expressed an opinion. I was not rude.
Pot, kettle. Simply making an observation as I see it. Sorry if it breaks the rules of the DJT-loving old-boy's club.
Most mainstream buy from SYSCO, GFS, US Foods, Restaurant Depot, etc. Tyson, IBP, And JBS shuttering plants will affect EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. Those SAME distributors supply grocery, state, city, county, and federal, entities. Yes, there will be shortages as soon as the go day is said. The problem you have then, is jails, prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, and other such public facilities being placed first on the list for what products remain. SYSCO has stated they have plenty of stock, unless the .gov invokes the DPA on them. But still, “plenty” to them is a week or two. Just as grocers have “plenty” for three days. Potatoes, believe it or not will become scarce in the processed for, French fries, tots, hash browns, and instant, as potato farmers are watching crops rot in the ground due to schools and restaurants being shuttered. Schools for instance, buy “x” amount of potatoes and dairy products per year, they then decide how to receive them. For instance, IPS buys “x” million pounds of potatoes, they then divide it up between French fries, tots, hash browns, mashed, etc. same with cheese. Sysco, or whoever, places their order with McCain, or whomever, totaling that “x” million pounds. The producer makes the product, Sysco, et al, receives, warehouses, and delivers, when it’s needed.
