Welcome To The “New Normal”: This Is Going To Be A Holiday Season That None Of Us Will Ever Forget
We seem to have entered a
nightmare that does not appear to have an ending. Earlier this year, many
of the “experts” assured us that the U.S. economy would be “booming” by the end
of 2021, but that didn’t turn out to be true at all.
Instead, we are dealing
with widespread shortages, the worst inflation since the
1970s,
and the most epic supply chain crisis in the history of the United
States. So this year, we are all going to have a “new normal” holiday
season. The upcoming holidays may not be quite what you have become
accustomed to, but the elite are still trying to put a positive spin on things.
For example, CNN is encouraging us to
look on the bright side by assuring us that we “won’t have to cancel
Thanksgiving” even though store shelves are increasingly bare…
If you’ve been noticing
emptier shelves when shopping for Thanksgiving, you’re not alone. But you won’t
have to cancel Thanksgiving.
The shortages of 2020 were
supposed to be long gone by now, but instead the shortages of 2021 are far
worse. If you doubt this, just check out these
availability numbers for some of our most important Thanksgiving staples…
During that first week of
November, whole bird frozen, fixed-weight turkeys were in stock at a rate of
64% on average across national retailers, IRI found. This time last year, that
figure was around 86%. IRI data didn’t include seasonal fresh turkey. Last
week, many Americans who were buying turkey early were buying frozen birds.
Availability of packaged
pie was roughly 68% that week, compared to 78% in 2020. Liquid gravy, with an
in-stock rate of 73%, is down about 12 percentage points compared to last year.
Cranberry sauce, with 79% availability, is down from 89% in that same period.
I still remember the “good
old days” when every store had turkeys and pies.
Will we ever see such days
again?
There is a shortage of
Christmas trees too. It is being
reported that
the U.S. is now facing a significant shortage of both real and fake Christmas
trees…
Anyone planning on
purchasing a Christmas tree this year should act fast, according to experts.
Extreme weather and supply
chain issues caused by the ongoing pandemic have led to shortages in both real
and faux trees, according to the American Christmas Tree Association.
A shortage of fake Christmas trees?
Oh the humanity!
How will we possibly
survive?
In addition to a lack of
trees, CBS News is telling us that a
number of other things will also be in very short supply over the next couple
of months…
-Clothing and accessories
-Apple iPhone 13
-Sportswear
-L.O.L. Surprise! toys
-Alcohol
-Jewelry
-PS5 and Xbox gaming
consoles
-Christmas lights
Of course these shortages
shouldn’t really surprise anyone, because it seems like there are shortages of
just about everything these days.
For instance, the shortage
of garage doors has become so severe that builders in Sacramento are now being
permitted to board
up the garages of newly built homes…
The city of Sacramento
will now allow garages to be boarded up in new homes, if the garage doors are
not delivered in time.
Its a response to the
shortage of garage doors caused by rampant supply chain problems.
Sadly, a lot of other
things will be getting boarded up in the months ahead as our economy continues
to crumble.
A little over a year ago,
Joe Biden promised voters that prices would go
down and
our standard of living would go
up if
he won the election.
Apparently he must have
been campaigning in “Bizarro World” at the time, because
what we have actually gotten has been the exact opposite.
And things aren’t going to
be getting better any time soon.
At this point, even
Goldman Sachs is publicly admitting that inflation “will get
worse this winter”…
“The current inflation
surge will get worse this winter before it gets better,” Goldman Sachs Global Investment
Research warns clients in a “2022 U.S. Economic Outlook.”
This is the weirdest
economy that I have ever seen in the entire time that I have been writing, and
the American people are becoming increasingly restless.
In fact, the latest ABC
News-Washington Post poll found that 70
percent of all Americans now rate the economy negatively.
So there is certainly a
lot of bad news out there right now.
But I am going to end this
article with some good news.
We just learned that
implementation and enforcement of the OSHA mandate has been officially
suspended. The following comes from the official OSHA
website…
On November 12, 2021, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay OSHA’s
COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, published on
November 5, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 61402) (“ETS”). The court ordered that OSHA
“take no steps to implement or enforce” the ETS “until further court order.”
While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in
emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and
enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.
As litigation proceeds,
things could still change.
But for now, this deeply
insidious unconstitutional mandate has officially been put on hold.
And that is something that
all of us should be truly thankful for, because the OSHA mandate could have
forced millions of hard working Americans out of their jobs early next year.
So despite the widespread
shortages we are witnessing, the painful inflation we are enduring and the
supply chain problems that never seem to end, we have a great deal to be
thankful for this Thanksgiving.
At least for now, millions
of jobs have been saved, and the U.S. economy has avoided an absolutely
devastating blow.

We're not giving thanks for that slug Biden this year; impeach the rat would be our Christmas wish.
Under Bumbling Biden & his build back broke programs all of us will suffer-impeach this rat now!
The port pileup,” says a relative with a front row seat in California. “I looked at the pier outside work in Long Beach…
“They are offloading ships fast now. Just stacking containers on the pier. What happens when they have no more room on the pier? Great solution.
“I was also told by a longshoreman that the problem isn't truckers. The truckers can't get the carriages to move the containers. A shortage of carriages.”
