This week, #BareShelvesBiden became a top trend on Twitter. Along with this trend came various images and footage of cleaned-out shelves in grocery stores across the country.
These cleaned-out shelves arrive as supply chain bottlenecks remain ongoing with seemingly no solutions in sight. Joe Biden has shown more concern with campaigning to end the Senate filibuster than he has with getting supplies into grocery stores.
At this time, massive delays are unremitting. This week also didn’t mark the first time Americans noted the existence of empty shelves during Biden’s presidency.
Now, a supermarket CEO is cautioning that shortages in the United States may get even worse.
The real possibility of meat and egg shortages
During a conversation with Fox Business, CEO of Gristedes John Catsimatidis suggested the aforementioned bare shelves are just a warm-up. He also warned the latest omicron surge is only further contributing to supply chain problems.
Omicron, on top of rising oil problems, only spells disaster for the labor market and access to supplies like meat and eggs.
