Not just the UK anymore, the strategic treat supply in the US is now under threat from the slow collapse of global supply chains.
Lmao. "Covid is over and the price of a Fourth of July cookout is down 14¢. America is back!"
How am I supposed to celebrate White Jesus’ birthday without a mountain of cheap plastic crap??
Democrats losing a congressional majority, that they did nothing with, because Americans couldn't buy cart-fulls of plastic shit at Christmas time is perfect writing for this chapter of the decline of the United States.
Remember, if you can’t get it at the store, you can get it directly at the White House.
Unfortunately by the looks of it it will be a chud revolution...
Nothing is going to happen. There will be a bunch of concern articles about "how to make do with less this Christmas". There will be a lot of hack Boomer cartoons and late night jokes about Santa having an empty sleigh. There will be some psychopaths who try to blame this on the dastardly Chinese.
And then by February, there will be a new 🚨 BREAKING ALERT 🚨 that will distract everyone and we'll move on.
"Nothing ever happens" is the single safest bet you can make in the casino of politics.
This ain't my first rodeo. Everyone's still a little on edge from Covid, but much like the post-9/11 era, we're slowly entering an exciting new reality that's just like the old one, but worse.

There might be old people volunteering to do some of these jobs for free. It did happen once already https://scoop.upworthy.com/seniors-slammed-for-volunteering-to-replace-low-wage-workers-for-free-this-is-horrendous
:agony-limitless: WHY NOT DO ACTUAL CHARITY WORK, YOU CUCKS FOR CAPITAL!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
You won't go to the store because they won't have anything you need so the worker shortage won't appear because they won't need workers to service nonexistent customers.
Now it is focused on getting ports and other transportation hubs to operate on a 24-hour schedule
Truly only a plan the BOTTLENECK CZAR could come up with: just make the
slavesvalued employees work longer, worse hours, and for less pay. I mean what could go wrong trying to load/unload ships in the middle of the night, or for that matter all of the sleep deprived truck drivers who are obliged to operate entirely in darknessIt's a good thing there's absolutely no history of dock workers or drivers going on strike due to terrible working conditions!
They could actually do that with the truckers, truckers already get special exemptions to hours of service (work hours) for things like oil production. Also another exemption was granted during covid. https://www.truckingtruth.com/wiki/topic-89/hours-of-service-exceptions-for-truck-drivers https://trucking.org/COVID19/federal-declarations
Clever, young man, very clever! But it's appropriation all the way down!

Learn 2 bug, westoid. (The bug thing is from a bit by user black_mold_futures.)
Well darn this is the first year I really have an income to buy people gifts. Oh well, they already consider me a cheapskate.
