Food shortages in Washington D.C.

| No Comments

Poor planning - a two-fer from Sundance:

First - Rationing:

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Asks Residents to Begin Voluntary Rationing of Food at Grocery Stores
For those of you who have prepared it is wise to remember the advice that always accompanies the final stages of preparation.  Once you are prepared, shut up, zip it, run silent and run deep.

The reason is simple comrades, when the “voluntary rationing” phase concludes, those who have prepared are quickly cast as ‘hoarders” and targeted by those who created the desperation.  It has always been thus.

DC Mayor and COVID Compliance Minister, Muriel Bowser, asks residents in/around her region to enter a phase of voluntary rationing.  What comes after the voluntary phase is the part many have been studiously preparing to avoid.

Mayor Bowser's tweet is straight out of the communist playbook:

Yeah citizen - don't hog it all, leave some for the other useful idiots.  We will get more (yeah!), we always have and we always will (and I have a nice bridge in downtown Manhattan, NY you might be interested in purchasing).

Second - Sundance explains why this happened.  Again, poor planning.  Very one-dimensional thinking:

A Note About the DC Metro Area Food Store Shortages That Must Be Emphasized
I know most CTH readers are aware of the issue – the action and consequence side of things.  However, the current conditions in/around our nation’s capitol deserve to be emphasized in order to share with those who are not connecting the dots.

The shortage of food products, in/around the metro-DC area, is a direct consequence of that same area demanding Vaccination Passports to enter any venue providing “food away from home.”

The vaccine passport mandate blocks people from restaurants, dining, bars and other sources of food.  The process forces people into grocery stores where they are encountering shortages.

In essence, what we are seeing in the DC-Metro area is a microcosm of what previously happened nationally with shortages in food supplies and basic essentials.  The retail food delivery system in our nation is not designed or prepared to shift large numbers of people out of the “food away from home” lane and into the “food prepared at home lane.”  It really is that simple.

Even small percentages of demand shift in a very detailed and complex supply chain -already operating at maximum capacity- can have massive consequences.   One fractured gear tooth in a system of thousands of interconnected gears can bring the entire machine to a halt.

Simple really - cause and effect.  Problem is that our elite leaders are incapable of thinking beyond the first element.  They fix that and then have to deal with the consequences of their actions.  A chain of events that neither fixes the problem nor alleviates the overall condition.
