Hyper-Inflation Begins: Gasoline Hits $8.49 p/Gal in California; FOOD SHORTAGES in Texas

Nation NewsDesk 08 October 2021 Hits: 35882

Gasoline in California has hit record high prices as the illegitimate Biden regime, and the corrupt Democrat-controlled Congress, spend the nation into oblivion. Worse, food shortages are striking with a vengeance all over the nation as video from a Texas Walmart proves below.

# Never overstate your case. — Paul Lambert 2021-10-10 08:28

$4.40 in LA, as Royalo1o tells us, is bad enough and a clear indication of the failures of the administration.

Showing more sensational photographs and offering exaggerations will only hurt one's credibility in the end.

Getting people worried about 8 dollars a gallon will end up in them being relieved that the price is "only" 4 dollars, and have them lose sight of the fact that this is a serious defeat.

Hegelian dialectic at work.

No the No gas prices are not that high $4.40 for regular gas anywhere in Los Angeles

In central libtard area of NC, I'm noticing gaps. Aldi was in good shape, but had noticable gaps. BigLots food area was looking sad. HarrisTeeter was 85% stocked, even had a sign up "Sorry for missing items, we are having issues due to supply chain."

We still got food, but yes, there is an obvious problem.

+2 # No food shortage in Tx — Sheepinator 2021-10-09 19:07

I’m currently standing in the Lewisville Tx Walmart that was in the Tictoc vid. Shelves are just as full as any other typical Walmart I visit. No one here is also wearing winter clothes like the vid. That vid was from the winter storm which yes, all the stores were picked over when that happened due to panic buying and late shipments. I’m sure this will eventually be the case, but as far as today’s date....shelves are stocked.

I spent $3.99 a gallon yesterday in Northern CA, mostly saw $4.25 a gallon

+1 # When a and where? — Stay Kind 2021-10-09 16:10

Ok, so I looked up gas prices in California and they weren't that high. Maybe it was something that happened for a period of time. I'm not saying it's not that bad. Not at all, I know things are getting pretty bad. I'm just asking for clarification:
When was the price this high?
What town in California?

Three days ago, the 10lb potato costs $3.34 here on the West. Yesterday it cost $10.00. No much vegetables on the shelves. This is a communist administration. You own nothing and happy. I pray that previous president come back soon. November something good is cooking up.

# California is a proof Communism is nothing but monopoly Capitalism — Harnaś 2021-10-09 14:25

Google and Facebok, as well as the rest of social media can "disappear" you at any time they want in the name of maintaining monopoly!

I felt a little like the secret leader of the biggest Trotskyite network in the 1930s USSR, suddenly arrested in the middle of the night in an NKVD raid and thrown into a dank interrogation cell, where I desperately wondered “Who had betrayed me?!” But then I eventually discovered that 50,000 other people had been rounded up that same night, mostly for complaining that the bread they recently bought had been stale…and I remembered complaining about stale bread to someone the previous week…

As it happens, Google’s sudden total removal of all those websites including our own turned out to be temporary, and the search results were soon returned to what they had been the day before, with our pages still merely de-ranked and almost impossible to find rather than entirely eliminated. But the incident highlighted the absurd political and media power now allowed to a private company and its top executives.

Google’s share of the search engine market is nearly 90%, both in the US and worldwide, and Facebook has almost an equally strong monopoly in social networking.

I work for a food producer, we supply a breakfast
Product to Walmart. Walmart typically requires
It's suppliers to maintain a certain "Huge" reserve
Of product on hand incase they need to fill large
Orders. For us, and I believe others, it's one
Million units. Walmart does not make money
From empty shelves. Trust me if they are short
On product its a significant concern. We are working
Overtime by the way, pumping out product for
Walmart.

+1 # Why the Whining? — Paul Kurzlee 2021-10-09 13:22

Cant understand what they whine about. Here we been paying 6 to 8 dollars a gallon for decades. It got really bad in canada back in 1978 when the first true-doe fucked us by changing to metric. Suddenly we were paying for 1/4 of a gallon almost what a full one cost the day before that. Right now they charge here close to 2 bucks for one litre. Which is less then one quart. Was april 1978 when we got hit with that change over. Since then its been pay more, get less. At 5 bucks a gallon you guys should be happy. Dont forget also how they lowered the octane levels as well to make you pay more for less. In the 1960s we had 98 octane available every where for 49 cents a gallon. The cars ran so good on that stuff too. And went a long time between gas station visits. This shit they make now is designed to make your car need gas much more often. How long is it going to be until this regime gets over thrown?

+2 # iga — Srmay72 2021-10-09 12:19

the produce manager at iga was very worried as she raised the prices. She said this time of year they are normally over flowing with produce this year most are being frozen for winter use. Walmart and Kroger don't run out as fast ON PURPOSE. IF WALMART, KROGER SHOWED HOW LOW WE ARE THE NATION WOULD BE IN TOTAL CHAOS BEFORE THEY ARE READY. INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT WALMART AND KROGERS GO TO YOUR SMALLER STORES. I live outside Brookville Ohio just like all small farm towns biggest food store is iga, farmers keep it small knowing that big box stores destroy family towns. When prices jump so quickly all the small town businesss know whats next. The gun shop owner topped it off knowing whats coming 99.99999 % are refusing to admit it. After talking to the gun shop owner then reading this thats why all those that know whats about to happen are preparing. I wrote here about him selling more vests in a month then he has ever sold since he opened. Even the politicians know real SHTF is coming and they know its probably before the first of January. If you are not ready follow the gun shop owner they know its not the towns folk in brookville but that 20 minutes east is DAYTON OHIO AND 70% ARE BELOW AVERAGE INCOME. Remember don't EVER TELL ANYONE YOU ARE PREPPED YOUR HOUSE WILL BE THE FIRST HOUSE ,GOVERNMENT AND THEIVES HIT. IF YOU DONT HAVE BACK UP BURIED OR HIDDEN AWAY FROM YOUR OTHER SUPPLIES BUY LIDDED BUCKETS TO SEAL EVEN A COUPLE 5 GALLON BUCKETS OF BEANS AND RICE FILL UP A BELLY . 70% OF PREPPERS WILL BE WIPED OUT IN LESS THEN A MONTH. DONT GET ALL YOUR PREPPS TAKEN.

Not the point. They needed the cover to fool everyone. Got it now? And yes, they did steal the election, so that's a fact, and yes, they did need to do that b/c if they revealed their plans to quickly they would have had a rebellion, and still might if the idiot half of the country would ever wake up. They will (when it's too late for them).

Fundamentally we have a spiritual problem. The idolatry of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll wasn't embraced by only the Left?

Secondarily was the imposition of central banking upon a largely conservative nation (a.k.a. the so-called "Greatest Generation"). If basically everyone has a price (i.e. can be bought) then a few demoniclally infected , influenced or posessed international bankers with the power to counterfeit a near infinite supply of the world's reserve currency can meet that price... and advance their dark agenda (i.e. Satanic technocratic "New World Order").

There us plenty of blame to go around and the demise of Western Civilization has been orchestrated since long before the Biden voters were born.

I went to a local Walmart Neighborhood Market this morning. I estimate that the shelves were at least eighty-five to ninety percent full. Almost no unfilled shelf space. The place was more less packed. No shortages here as of yet. So this is the time to stock up!

Our gas in NW PA just went to $3.55 for a gallon of the 89. It goes up in 10 cent increments now. It used to go up a penny or few cents at a time. Since the beginning of this year, it takes 10 cent jumps.

# I bought 5 gallon cans — Srmay72 2021-10-09 11:45

we keep enough gas for a full tank , in case shtf . We bought a car dolly that bolts to the front bumper of our car so we just need to drive the truck. Always keep tanks full. If you do keep gas rotate it every couple weeks so it don't go stale

+1 # Fuel Prices — JMonday 2021-10-09 09:14

A little context on the fuel price. This gas station is in Big Sur on US-1, which is a coastal two lane highway. Fuel deliveries would have to come from at least an hour and a half away from either the Monterey/Salinas area to the north, or Paso Robles from the south.
Fuel when I was out there two years ago was $4.20 for regular. The highest I saw was in Salinas at $4.69 for regular. It's pretty crazy to see prices that high, but a bit of context is helpful. If fuel in Monterey in $5 at its highest, then it stands to reason that such an out of the way place would be higher.

+1 # Whaaaat? — Chris Mangus (PAYPAL) 2021-10-09 10:07

It may "stand to reason" but you're wildly inaccurate. Go check the historical gas prices on GasBuddy for various cities up and down US-1. $7.99 per gallon is a full $2.50 higher than it was 24 month ago along the northern stretches of 1.

+6 # Southern Oregon situation — CloudNebula 2021-10-09 07:57

Here in the Rogue Valley (Medford) the Winco and Trader Joe's stores were still well stocked, but with some price increases. The large blocks of Tillamook cheese are on sale below normal price. However, I went to buy my 25 lb sack of raw organic buckwheat at Natural Grocer's last week and the price had gone up from around $55 to over $71 !! That's a 29% increase! This is grown in USA. What is the official inflation rate right now ? We're going to Trader Joe's again tomorrow to stock up some more-they have the best prices. So glad we bought that chest freezer last year. Will check gas prices, it was around $4 regular last week.

+2 # Contrast, Eastern Oregon, Baker City area — LilBirdie 2021-10-09 12:55

Lots of space on the shelves.
Not uncommon to see gaps. I talk with store employees often. I hear regularly "we order but we don't know what will come".
The thing my Aunt (God rest her soul) always told me to watch was canned meat. A few years ago (6-7) it was stocked heavy. Plenty of choices and everything was 1# cans. Then it went to 12oz. Then 10 1/2oz. Now canned chicken isn't on the shelf. Hash has been gone for over a year. 1lb canned ham used to be stocked thick & deep. Now 1 case at a time if they can get it. Spam (yes I watch that too), several varieties. Now lucky to see it on the shelf. Snack & lunch fish like smoked oysters and kippered fish don't exist. Haven't seen snack lunch pies for over 6mo. of any variety.
Packaged cheese grated/sliced has BIG empty spots often.
Produce is stocked low with fillers. Shouldn't be that way in summer. Bottled water is empty most of the time. Expensive brands are still there cheaper and store brand has been gone for a while. Areas of the frozen food and processed are showing shortages.
Come the start of fall case good sales are normal. Not this year!
A regular can of peaches was $1 a can last year. This year sale price $3/5! Regular $2.29. A loaf of store brand bread was $.79 regular sale price. Now $1.79 if there's any left in stock! It's empty most of the time. Tells me people are eating more sandwiches.
Just put in an order for socks from Cabela's. It took over 2 weeks to ship! (Btw the regular grey/green Cabela's wool blend socks last for almost ever! Bought 8 pair 8-9 years ago for hubby. They are his favorite. He rotates mostly just those. In that time I hardly see the wear. So I ordered 20 more. Should last almost the rest of his life. But, I digress)
Our company truck is in the shop for minor repairs. They said it'll be 3-4 weeks for parts to come in. Son-in-law order tires for work truck. Took almost a month to get them.
What I'm saying is the fall of our country is fast progressing.
When Trump took office one of the first things he said was "It's worse than I imagined".
After 4 years of doing his best with great resistance, de stopped the decline. He showed what was possible by putting our own interests first. It took 5mins & 17 EOs one the first day to turn that around. Trump was a bump in the road for their plan.
Those that think we'll turn this back around are sorely mistaken. "I remember when" is going to be a new montra. The slide will speed up. The fight for daily life will take your eyes & mind away from the daily death toll. Those dying from the shot will blend in with those dying from starvation and exposure.
What I write sound bleek. Argue if you must. It's what I see.

# Thanks — SBGlett77 2021-10-09 09:03

Thanks for that report, Neb - especially the location, which most people seem afraid to report. We grow organic buckwheat here in Ohio and have a terrible time trying to get where the pricing is going, especially nationwide. Anecdotal is what we rely on, because the market is so fragmented.

So this tells me to definitely not cut the price ! haha!

# Interesting — CloudNebula 2021-10-09 09:07

What was your price for a 25 lb bag last year before all this nonsense started?

+1 # Wholesale — SBGlett77 2021-10-09 10:45

We have wholesaled ours so far, and the price then was around $0.50/lb., which was probably too low, but again, that was what the market would bear. After a processor turns it into flour, its $4 and up per lb.

Now that the nonsense is picking up steam, we have to re-evaluate. We have bagging and even some milling capability, and so we may begin to retail some, especially if people need it locally. Reports like yours help a lot.

+4 # Tip of Iceberg — SBGlett77 2021-10-09 07:45

Even the degree of stock ( many shelves still partially filled ) we are seeing in stores may be instilling a false sense of relative calm. Smart purchasing managers can source items they need for stock from all kinds of extraneous sources, up to a point. They can call South America and outbid local buyers for produce and meat; they can track down things in obscure warehouses; they can corner local producers and divert their production.

This is all to attempt to appear "normal" when it comes to supply. Buyers do it all the time - they are just needing to go to much greater lengths this time. The most prestigious stores like Kroger, Kohl's, Meier, etc. will eat up limited supplies out from under less well-heeled buyers and try their best to make it appear that everything is OK with "them". All the old people would remain relieved that "their store" still has the bananas they crave, and they're "fresher than fresh".

This artificial and aggressive purchasing agent-forced appearance of normalcy would explain most of the comments you see on various forums and the like, "Gee, I just went to _______ and the shelves were full !".

By contrast, WalMart doesn't play the "throw cash at suppliers for our reputation's sake" game, and should be expected to be among the first big retailers to reveal empty shelves. And here we are. So it is wise to take them as a bellwether of wider shortages to come. At some point expanding sources for disappearing goods at higher costs doesn't work any more for ANY buyers.

There are systemic monetary, production & processing, personnel, physical resource, training, logistical, government, climate, and political headwinds that are all coinciding presently to disrupt production and distribution of goods. At some point the production dwindles to a critical level where it becomes self-reinforcing, and a downward spiral can ensue.

Honestly, however, the rampant creation of money out of thin air, and peoples' love for that, is the root cause of most of the other constraints listed above. The downward spiral is actually reflected in hyperinflation, and its tentacles reach into the rest of the system.

Take Hal's article to heart.

This would explain most of the

Bread has went up over $1 a loaf for store brand from $.79 a loaf to sale price $1.79

Over 4th of July I bought 100% Grass-Fed ground beef. I also had a frozen package in the freezer from Dec 2020. The Dec 2020 pack was $16.99/lb and 6 months later the price jumped to $22.99! This is a nice grocery chain location is Calabasas, CA, and their prices are generally higher anyway, but this is ridiculous. In June 2021 they also had American Wagyu Filet Mignon for $89.99/lb. Another absurdity was the Rainier Cherries at $13.99/lb.

I think we've been living in the states version of hyper inflation all my life here in NZ. Beef mince low grade is about $10 lb about $7 us. Sheep and beef is a major export commodity for us too, so its not like its a rare product.
