Well....the laws of natural selection are being applied.....survival of the fittest by the thinning of the herd due to... stubbornness (or commitment to some out there political cause)? Fear? Ignorance? Not sure, but definitely might change future populations. Unfortunately, the unvaccinated may take a few of the weaker vaccinated population with them...but that will not change their minds as most folks tend to be selfish...the good for the one over the good for the many. I'm selfish...I'm vaccinated to protect me. A byproduct is protecting others...I guess from my perspective, I don't understand unvaccinated folks. At this point, not sure any of the unvaccinated think the virus isn't real, but they are contributing to the possibility of their own death, as well as others, so I am missing whatever logic is happening in their minds.
@@marieegan3451 I agree with you, sadly evolution and natural selection are working too slow in the case of those people and if the virus mutate too much we could end back to the beginning with higher mortality rate and no protection from the virus cause all current vaccines becomes useless.
** anytime,,, a significant percent of people deny, CLIMATE CHANGE,,, AND ARE,,,ANTI-VAX !!!! We are definitely lacking in intelligence!!!!! Possibly too ignorant to survive as a species!!!! We forget that there has been mass extinction,,, many times in our history!!! We,,, are expendable..
Preaching to the choir. I work as a cashier and we're constantly having problems staying stocked on all sorts of things. People always asking me where it's at or why we don't have it and why can't we just order more. Like, it doesn't work like that? There's a whole system and chain that's kinda breaking down right now but no, can't be that. Instead everyone's under the impression we're hiding it in the back.
The great Back Room of Retail is one of America's most powerful myths - more so than bigfoot, the tooth fairy, and the 5-second rule combined. People ask if their desired object is in that mysterious and wonderful Back Room with hope shining in their eyes, expecting it to magically appear at any moment.
We need to have a comeback of the Depression mentality: "Use it up or wear it out, make it do or do without." You'd think survival would be our greatest priority right now, not whether they have our preferred brand of something. Count your blessings and deal with what comes, America. Complaining hasn't helped anyone.
same. i work for a large furniture company and during lockdown it seems like half the country decided to remodel their kitchen and closet, so all our stock disappeared, and now people who are late to the party come in whining all “when are you gonna get morrrrre?” and we’re just like “ummm, when there are folks in the factories to make it and folks to put in on boats and to unload the boats and drive it all here to us, thanks.”
Maybe now people will finally start to realize that an economy, indeed a society, can function perfectly well without billionaires, but completely breaks down without workers. Maybe it's time people redirected their respect and admiration to where it actually belongs...
I hear that, MEE. Case in point: janitors and cleaners. Schools and office buildings make lovely hot spots for outbreaks. Cleaners are our front line defense. Respect!
I'm loving watching a bunch of janitors and truck drivers rally and wait for their "Thank you heroes" parade. Fuck, we're all the way down to food service, might as well. Everyone gets a hero pin, go ahead. 👏
Wait, if that school doesn't want to "opine as to whether unexplained phenomena have a basis in fact, [but...] err on the side of caution" then why haven't they been quarantining kids with recently deceased family members to prevent ghostly hauntings at school?
If I were student at that school, I would demand and A+ for every class, since no matter what my answers are, they may or may not be correct, and it would be better to err on the side of Dean's List.
@@stuminnis4050 In this case I was referring to the supply chain problems. Though the other 2 also apply considering the only way it is economical to ship pears halfway around the world to have them packaged is if you are exploiting peoples labor and eliminating the carbon emissions of the boats making that round trip wouldn't solve climate change but the reality it is the thousand things similar to that mentality that is causing all the pollution.
You guys realize that it's not just shortages of frozen food, ice cream, and wine right.... it means a shortage of sugar, flour, meats, milks, vegetables, fruit, plastic, aluminium, glass, and paper. All staples in our day to day lives. They're covering up how bad it is because they don't want to incite mass panic and panic buying. People hear "marie calendars pot pies" and think well I don't eat those or I can just get another brand, when the problem is so much worse than that.
People will panic buy whether they hear of those shortages or not. They did it with toilet paper last year. Rationing might be a solution here. People overeat and overuse constantly in this country.
We wouldn't have a "glass bottle crunch" if companies washed and reused them, like they used to. Still nuts that America let them foist their glass bottle recycling responsibilities onto consumers.
Someone could make a ton of money in the States if they established proper recycling infrastructure nation-wide. Corporations should be using compostable containers instead of plastics anyway. Why it's still legal to use certain types of plastics that can't be recycled is beyond me. Or plant-based plastics. Recycling glass & aluminum is fairly cheap, too. I'm surprised recycling these items isn't a federal law at this point given how bad things are.
That's because it is a byproduct of natural gas, they don't get it out of the atmosphere. Carbon capture binds CO2 using chemistry, natural or man-made.. it isn't exactly something we can just filter out from the oxygen and nitrogen in air.
@umbah umbah this video of water doing nothing but sitting there is boring. If this is the best you can do no wonder you have to resort to these methods to get views. Total waste of time!
Maybe all these “shortages” are a good time for people to reevaluate what they really need, and to recognize how fortunate we are to live with such abundance.
Stock up on yeast and sugar while you can and start making your batches now from juice or fruit. Super easy and CHEAP. I posted a recipe under a separate comment. You can also find plenty of how to videos here on YT.
"The school is not opining as to whether unexplained phenomena have a basis in fact, however we prefer to err on the side of caution..." by that logic we shouldn't let kids play outside during recess because a flying saucer might come around and kidnap them.
I have to wonder what the parents at this school think of this tripe. I'd be pulling my kid from that school and finding a school for them that properly understands public health and safety.
JFC so many things wrong with that! First, who in the F is going around telling others side effects of the shot are contagious?? Second, you (the school, not OP) are "not opining as to whether unexplained phenomena have a basis in fact"...sounds like another creative way to say "facts dont matter to me, who needs facts when i FEEL like shots are dangerous and their side effects are somehow contagious despite there not even being any kind of virus in those shots" 😖😖
Do you remember the good old days when you didn't know who was crazy? When you were able to pretend you walked by zero crazy people each day? I miss that.
After my ACL operation failed it left me with a permanent charlie horse in my thigh and nerve damage in my shin from the metal anchor. I now have proof that I have a loose screw.
I agree, man. It was nice going places and not knowing which people would beat me to death or not. Also, it was nice not being on guard in every building in case a shooting happened.
I wish I could post the video of my son Jason (he was 4 at the time) when we were at the store & walked by the ice cream section & he saw your picture on the ice cream & points to you & says your name!!!! Yep he LOVES ya!!!!
If you can't tell me what Quantitative Easing is, then you need to shut it because you are one of the ignoramuses. Plus, you unironically watch Colbert. That says a lot...
@@coronaphyrrus1254 your comment is a good example of what I'm talking about. How do you reason with a fool who only thinks along party affiliations or what program one watches?
@@peejay8519 You have validated my point. Why would anyone take you seriously when you rely on corporate media shills like Colbert, who has a record of boisterous political bias? It really is true. NPCs have no self awareness.
The vaccine mandate will only work for high paying white collar jobs like the coach. Working proffesionsals like nures, cops, the TSA, you can't collectivly tell these people what to do because they arent that lucrative that there is a long line of people to replace them. And the quality of sevice can decline quite drasically.
The 40% unvaccinated number is a misunderstanding. The paperwork to show vaccination status isn't required to be filled for a couple weeks yet. Anyone who has not submitted an "I HAVE been vaccinated" paper is thus marked unvaccinated, even if they are vaccinated. It's not so much "unvaccinated" as "we don't know yet because everyone waits until the day before the deadline to fill out this form".
The vaccine mandates are a fail, they deprive the economy of essential workers and disproportionately impact poorer Americans... they're a cancer against liberalism, and all real liberals should speak up in opposition to these mandates.
Wine shortage in America.How's that? Isn't there a Karen whining about something that offends them everyday.Maybe they need a glass of wine to calm them.
If only there was a slew of people willing to come to this country and take jobs like truck driving and port workers (as well as a diverse array of other jobs)
If only there was some way to spend more money to attract people to work for companies. Maybe we could also make the working conditions better so people would like the work more, and give them healthcare so they can safely work, too! Or capital owners could cry about lazy and entitled workers. One of the two.
@@KokaKolaMusic the complaint will come from the consumer who has to pay for that new overhead. but there is the other solution of giving real opportunity to people who are willing to work hard for it and who didn't win the geographic lottery by being born on the side of the border where a person can bitch about truck drivers not being paid enough to do a job that literal robots do.
@@jedinxf7 trust me I am all for demolishing borders. Spawn point shouldn't decide your lot in life, and if people want to come to America they should be 1000% allowed. But that needs to come with strong worker protections, unionization, and collective bargaining so it's not a race to the bottom
lol, if a school would write that letter in my country, the school staff would be fired the same day...! and sex education here is mandatory and starts in 4th grade...eat that, religious folk...
And let's try to remember what usually follows supply shortages: a black market. Imagine the corruption that goes with that - as if we haven't seen enough. The decades-long boon for profiteers sees no end.
bloody hell, the closing statement is really a snag on how twisted life is today. Put a condom on the stork before it delivers a baby!!!!!! This is Gold.
There is no “labor shortage.” People just realized they’d rather not get overworked, mentally abused and taken advantage of for $7.50 an hour. Raise the minimum wage to an actual wage people can live off of, unionize every single job, and give us benefits and let’s see if there’s still a labor shortage. Like that one song says “we’re not gonna take it. Yeah! We’re not gonna take it, anymore”
You know, I used to think the same...then minimum wage doubled where I live. Sounds good, right? Not really...rents doubled too, and electricity costs never stop increasing...natural gas too, but not as often. And I noticed too that the prices in the grocery store really started increasing, some stuff suddenly was a dollar more than it had been, or doubled. Store owners have to cover that increase in the wages somehow...so yes, if wages increase, but other costs remain the same, then it's great. Yes, everything increases over time, I get that....but it just seemed to be really disproportionate, not the usual cost of living increases. Sadly, we need more than just a healthier increase in wages.
@@sberke 1) if a store can't afford to employ it's workers, maybe the store's just a failed business idea. 2) worker's wages aren't the only cost a store owner has to pay, so doubling the minimum wage wouldn't double store prices, so people might not get twice as much buying power, but they wouldn't lose any either. 3) People with more money spend more money, particularly at the poor end. 4) Rent, electricity and gas are not determined by minimum wage. Get angry at your landlord, not at the minimum wage.
The shortages of goods are due to one corporate policy: Just In Time deliveries. It's been in place for decades and everybody in the supply chain, including truckers like I was for 14 years, has been expecting JIT to crash like an airplane out of fuel as soon as anything major happened. Covid-19 and tRump's reaction to it were the major event.
THREE MILLION DOLLARS a year for a COLLEGE P,E, teacher!!!!!!! How the hell does THAT work???!! Call him a "football coach" if you like, but he's fundamentally a PE teacher.
NHL might not have a vaccine mandate (EDIT: for the players), but the city of San Jose has a vaccine mandate for anybody attending events with 50 or more people at city-owned venues. The hockey rink is owned by the city, and attendance at hockey games is greater than 50, so…
I can do without ice cream and wine. It’s the real food I’m worried about. I couldn’t get Trader Joe’s canned refried beans the other day, nor Ezekiel brand bread I always get, nor some cassava chips. Many empty spaces on the shelves. I can do with shortages but if the prices of food start to sharply rise, that’s when I’ll be worried. I’m in Southern California btw.
I have a couple close friends who work in the ports and they say this is mostly bs. Port authorities have been creating bottlenecks. Like in Savanah they decided to close down 2 of the largest docks for repairs a couple weeks ago. Timing seems suspicious
Sabotaging the supply chain would be smart and effective climate activism. Lets face it, consumerism is slowly killing us. During lockdown, global CO2 emissions decreased. So, I proposed an intentional climate lockdown once a week to keep this decreased emissions going. Perhaps Sundays would be a good day to shut down all non-essential services etc. Maybe we could take mindful action and focus on loved ones instead of consuming - just once a week, and we could avert huge disasters and lessen human suffering
Changing the source of what we use to make all of our products would do more to stop climate change. In 1916, the USDA reported in Bulletin 404 that one acre of hemp can make as much paper as four acres of trees. It was this report that prompted timber magnates such as WR Hearst to begin to demonize "Marihuana" in his papers in the 1920s to turn public opinion against Cannabis Sativa. In 1941, Ford made a plastic Model-T car body from plants including hemp. In 1942, after Pearl Harbor, the USDA made a 14-minute instructional video titled *Hemp For Victory* to make equipment for the military because imports of fiber were cut off from Asia. There was a bill in Congress titled the *Hemp For Victory Act of 2019.*
@@Marijuanifornia I hadn't heard of the 2019 bill. This is the real source of change..the same year nylon was patented, hemp was made illegal. It's the answer to our oil and plastics problems. Thanks for being out there spreading the gospel.
@@sharliecoffey Yes, I read this too. It’s horrible what big corporations have done to us. What also comes to mind: Dupont and it’s teflon, Chevron and polluting Ecuador, Nestle and their water heists, the whole water bottle industry..etc etc etc
Sounds like TSA will soon have a lot of openings. Excellent benefits and a foot in the door to secure federal employment. Don’t think they will have trouble filling them.
The US faced a shortage of materials during World War II when the Japanese Navy cut off exports from Asia to North America. So the US legalized weed. Watch the 1942 USDA film, *Hemp For Victory.* There was a bill in Congress titled the *Hemp For Victory Act of 2019.*
Which combined definitely means economic hardship ahead, and a growing death toll among poor people, given that this country has done nothing to prepare infrastructure for climate change (watch Florida's example unfold). The oil companies, like most corporations, continue to place megaprofits over public safety - with politicians and the Washington lobbies still in their back pockets.
If you ask me, we could use a little LESS TSA BS drama; I don't want my 67-year-old mother getting m0L3st3d by those goons. ...and I mean by the humans, not the German shepherds; doggos get a pass most of the time, even if my mom ain't too fond of those gorgeous domesticated woof-woofs ❤️
I feel so bad for my purchasing manager....she's been in complete hell to source the gear we need to meet our deadlines....she deserves a round of applause.
Here in Europe there is a paper shortage, delaying new books from being delivered on their release date. I hope this shortage doesn't snowball further and we suddenly have a shortage of toilet paper. I dread the day we see auction sites propped up with scalpers selling toilet paper alongside Playstation 5 gaming consoles...
Fights over buttwipe are sad to behold. They show that shit's gettin' real! If your supply should run dry then be bold! Start with The Art of the Deal.
We never had a toilet paper shortage in europe, that problem was only in Australia but snowballed completely around the globe because of the fucking media who do anything to scare people and get more clicks. But ofcourse when everyone wanted to buy more and more toilet paper it was sold out therefore creating an artificial shortage. And ofcourse that could repeat anytime because neither the media nor society ever learn.
@@Jartran72 Yeah, the amusing thing is that we worry greatly about toilet paper shortage, but many don't seem too focused on climate change and how this will affect our food supply in the future. We could be in for a rude awakening.
Must be tough to teach in that school district. Kids WILL - oh you know they will - come back with smart alec answers to tests and they'll quote those officials in their answers.
My mom is literally addicted to ice cream. We are lucky where we live there are a couple of dairy farms where we can get great ice cream if they run out of Friendlies ice cream in the grocery store. She always has a half gallon of their chocolate almond chip that's her favorite. I guess a bumpy ride could be coming. Lol
@@deborahbarry8458 some farms yes. We'll be fine where I live. Our preferred ice cream comes from a small business that makes the ice cream on site and sources the ingredients directly from the local area.
I just stopped having my favorite Tillamook brand cookie dough ice cream, not because they were out, but because I wanted to get ready for my sister's baking us some homemade cookies for the fall and winter seasons :3 switch from one sugar addiction to another, amiright???

That explains why I have been having trouble finding sour patch kids. I like to grab a pack of them when I wonder into the store the few times I overpower my anxiety to do so.
Unless you get the virus or a shot like J&J your not showing your immune system anything new. MRNA is just rewriting code to block the spike protein. Considering more people have died this year then did all last year w/o vaccines, I dont see them as a huge win.

Don't get me started on F1 visas. It's not that Americans don't apply to grad school to get advanced degrees,universities get a lot of money for giving those out to foreign students. As an American with a doctorate, I can tell you I had many foreign students competing with our own for slots in grad school.
This is the case in 40 of 50 states between football and basketball coaches. It's abhorrent. The highest paid employees benefiting from the most exploited of athletes.
This is why we need to bring manufacturing and production jobs back to America. We've all just realized we rely on China to produce so much of our medicine and PPE. That should be produced here, but our politicians are bought off by large corporations that care about paying less in taxes and wages.
The tragic part is that the USA is paying for China's major infrastructure projects. China supplies 80% of the world's "Wants" and 90% of what is in those ships comes from China. Only 10% of what's on board is things that people need. To me, it would be smarter for Americans to spend their own money on their own infrastructure. People need to re-focus away from buying everything they "Want' and concentrate on buying things that they "Need".
The US legalized Cannabis Sativa to make equipment for the military during World War II. Watch the 1942 USDA film *Hemp For Victory* to see how to replace foreign imports and bring manufacturing jobs back to the US. Because of Cannabis prohibition, the US spends billions of dollars on police gear and prisons, and then spends hundreds of millions of more dollars to import hemp fiber from Canada and China. There was a bill in Congress titled the *Hemp For Victory Act of 2019.*
Then feel free to stop buying goods from Costco, Walmart, Amazon (plus just about every major retailer) until they only sell/mostly sell US manufactured goods.
I don't know Stephen - I've been out of school a while now, but when I was back in the early 00's to give you an idea of what kind of 'facts' my schools had - 5+5+5+5+2 =17 (and this was a math teacher, who fought my parents AND the school principle on it) - The Titanic sank north of Russia (Social Studies/History teacher) - "I don't know" (Chemistry in the Community teacher on why his pie chart of usage of oil from the 90's/early 00's was different than ours from our 1970's textbooks) - "Clearly the test machine was broken" (English teacher, who had been my Social Studies teacher the previous year, who did not have me redo the reading test even though the machine was assumed broken, and forced me to read 3rd grade books in 5th grade like my classmates till a retest verified the original much higher result) - "The French did not fight in WWII", "The Allies only hit military targets (as in 0 damage to civilian structures or loss of civilian lives)", "Bismarck was sunk without ever seeing combat" (another Social Studies/History teacher) So I'm not surprised schools are devoid of facts still. Given ones I encountered didn't know, in order I've said, that the answer was 22, that the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic on it's way to America, that obviously things like increased use of jet liners and automobiles and other uses dropping would effect the pie chart 20-30 years later, that they could redo the test on a machine they knew worked, aside from before the occupation that there was the Resistance and Free French Forces, never heard of Dresden, and that Bismarck sunk HMS Hood in it's first battle, and was still fighting till her guns were knocked out when the fleet caught up due to the damage from a torpedo dropped by an outdated Swordfish.
