During WW2 my father was member of the Army's elite Cellophane Tape Commandos. There mission was to really stick it to the Krauts.

A shortage appears

full shelves disappear, panic

scrounging and hoarding

reach for a new higher price

and it's time for something else.

I'm reading The Origin of Capitalism; A Longer View by Ellen Meiksins Wood, and something very obvious occurred to me:

In Part I Section I she discusses the works of Karl Polanyi and his objection to Smith's characterization of humanity as naturally "economic": to wit, that not all societies with markets are market-societies and that most non-capitalist societies's markets operated by non-capitalist logic and were subordinated to other economic concerns than profit and need, and it occurred to me:

Capitalism is a system where people require markets to provide their needs, but for that to happen people can't be able to provide for themselves some other way. Shortages HAVE to be created for capitalism to come to exist, and they have to be maintained for producers to compete because, if costumers can provision themselves without the market, they don't have to use it. Famine is a NECESSITY of capitalism.

You don't have to buy what you already have, so people will only rely on markets for the necessities of life if you ensure they can't gain them some other way. I'd always thought of enclosures as a way for rich assholes to steal land and create a workforce for factories but it's more than that; by kicking all those english peasants off their land and destroying their communities(which provided for them before), those early capitalists created the markets for their "scientifically" farmed agricultural goods, and industrially produced textiles, in the first place. More than that: the Engineered Irish Famine of 1845 wasn't JUST an act of atrocious, racist, colonialism; it was enforcing market-discipline.

Capitalist shortages aren't just a way to control price, they're THE way to create market-necessity, "customers", and competition in the first place. Division of Labor won't do this naturally because non-market exchange, and non-necessary markets, are possible. It's coercion all the way down.

Gang idk if u guys are feeling the effects of the food/general shortages, I know a lot of people are like oh so they only have a few bags of cheese instead of a lot no big deal but it's not JUST the food.

A lot of people are unaffected right now but a lot are as well. I'm being affected especially on the cat supplies and medication front. My cat has to eat prescription food so I ordered from the manufacturer themselves and the MANUFACTURER has none because they can't get the supplies. I've annihilated the local pet stores because I can't get it. I also can't get some of my medications. I don't really have a hack but this is something I feel like all of us, especially college kids, should be watching because if you aren't affected yet, you probably will be soon

I, personally, have been beefing up my garden (indoor and outdoor) from the local greenhouse closing for the season clearance (including seeds), trying to find ways to make my own of stuff I use/consume the most, trying to find alternatives to my cats food, learning to mend my clothes, looking into buying more trays for my family's dehydrator, and starting to trade things locally because when walmart won't have it someone should (I get honey and beeswax from trading).

Like I said, not really a hack but something I'm concerned about and would like everyone to start being a little more knowledgeable and prepared for it if they can be

For a variety of systemic reasons that include economics, geography, and health, Black and Latino parents are disproportionately more likely to rely on formula feeding. To add to that, low-income parents of color are also disproportionately impacted by the formula shortage, as they may live in food deserts with fewer options for formula, and they may be unable to drive long distances to search other stores or pay premium prices for online shipping. There is a simple reason why such a shortage has transpired: global capitalism and the food monopolies it has fostered.

I would be very surprised if medical transition for adults is still legal anywhere in the US in 5-8 years. Maybe it will be outlawed sooner. Likely sooner than later.

Alabama will fall. Other states will too. But eventually, it’ll be banned everywhere, in one form or another.

If we are not prepared, we will have no more HRT

This is not the beginning of things getting worse. But I fear that In ten to fifteen years, things will be so much worse. This will feel like nothing, forgettable to most people, in comparison to the atrocities that are coming.

It’s easier to use formula. It isn’t better for the baby’s health, especially in America where the formula cartel insists that all formulas be filled with corn and soy sludge while also ensuring that no natural, animal-based European alternatives can be made available. Many moms are wracked with guilt, especially now during the shortage. But the alternative is to quit your job, be with your children full time, and essentially become your own doctor and nutritionist. This is one way to revolt against the modern world—a noble one, at that! But if you are capable and motivated as a woman to do such a thing, you must also be prepared for the heavy social costs that come with it, including loneliness, economic precarity, the condescension of the culture of feminism, and institutional resistance to true bodily autonomy, especially in medicine.

This final fact indicates the common thread uniting all of the reasons most American mothers give up on breastfeeding by six months of age: a fundamentally demeaning, widespread cultural attitude toward the prospect, process, and practice of motherhood. Only in a world where women are regarded as more useful, valuable, important, and respected in their workspace than at home do women, within two weeks of childbirth, abandon their infants to daycares while they themselves are still bleeding out from a placental wound the size of a dinner plate. It’s the sort of thing that only needs to be said aloud in order to reveal itself as utterly barbaric.

Breastfeeding, a beautiful and uniquely feminine art form that, when mastered, produces untold benefits for children and families, is not the only nor the most tragic casualty of this culture of maternal disregard. Contraception, abortion, divorce, and transgenderism can also be counted as similar symptoms of this deep confusion about the meaning of womanhood. If marriage or gender or motherhood is just another consumer choice, what is to prevent anyone from participating in any of those experiments at will?

As wellsprings of unique human life, mothers are where the neoliberal regime, insisting on infinite fungibility, meets its terminus. The ineffable bond between mother and child transcends any other. The symbiotic, totally intuitive communication between mother and child, reflected in breastfeeding, is indicative of this essentially spiritual bond, but is completely illegible to rationalists and communists and capitalists and everyone else whose souls have been crushed by the machinery of postmodernity. Perhaps this is why womanhood has become a target for the transatlantic corporation and transhumanist publication alike. In many ways, Woman is the final barrier between human as human and human as machine.

The Cascade of Events Leading to the Crap Hitting the Fan (SHTF):

A cascade of events, triggered by a sentinel event (not necessarily some end of the world, Hollywood #doomsday scenario), will lead to panic and then on to #food and fuel #shortages, civil #unrest, . . . I did not expect to see empty shelves at the grocery store shortly after the 2019 Wuhan chinese communist party (ccp) virus hit the U.S. Those who say "it won't happen" live in a fantasy land of unicorns and rainbows wearing rose-colored glasses. When their food runs out, those are the ones who will panic and knock on the doors of those who have prepared. Those are the ones I need to defend against. A cascade of events, triggered by a sentinel event (not necessarily some end of the world, Hollywood doomsday scenario), will lead to panic and then on to food and fuel shortages, civil unrest, supply chain disruptions and possibly martial law being imposed. Check out these videos which inspired the creation of this web page:   [Video 1]   [Video 2] Whatever the sentinel event (the fuel for the fire), panic (the oxygen and accelerant) will ensue and the following events are likely to occur:

Severe stock market crash

Bank runs – people pulling out their cash and bank closures

Corporate closures – bankruptcies – layoffs

Supply chain disruptions – food and supplies depleted within 3 days

Fuel shortages – rationing then depletion

Municipal (government) services cut – no staffing – no 911 - fire – police – trash pickup

Municipal Water supplies compromised

Access to healthcare and medicines reduced, then unavailable

Crime increase – gangs will proliferate – riots – looting – assaults

Civil unrest by the "lawful" who will panic and want food and supplies to survive (may take about 2 weeks)

Martial Law will be implemented IF any governments still exist – loss of liberties & freedoms and Constitution Suspended

Signs of The Last Days - Isaiah Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 [Video Bible Study]- Worldwide - to Paraphrase:

God will take away strong, knowledgeable men.

He will allow weak, uneducated, inexperienced people (children & women) to rule (for 3 1/2 years). They will take over.

People will become oppressed by neighbors and friends and children will disrespect the past and honorable.

Things will get so bad that the women will beg men to "fix it" and they will refuse.

[3 1/2 years later] One will stand up and say "OK, as long as you do exactly what I say".

He will begin. Most will obey. Few will rebel. He will call in military forces to quell the rebels.

They will call on God for help.

Jesus will return (Time from the beginning of the "fix" to Messiah's return - 5 months).

There’s been shortages for the past couple years for various projects for a couple reasons. One of the really frustrating ones is baby formula. Part of the reason it’s so bad right now, is that recently there was a recall. Because there was contamination at one of the factories, leading to some babies and unfortunately a couple passing away. And a lot of families that had extra, brought them back to be on the safe side. At my job, that section is bare maybe an hour or two hours. I remember hearing a lady saying she had to drive out of state looking for formula to no avail. Which If you are less familiar with baby formula, sometimes kids have allergies and thus can only 1 type of formula. Also sometimes kids can get sick from switching formulas. And while it’s not fully impossible, it’s harder to get European brand formula and nestle actively has made it harder. I think it’s like 90% of formula is produced by one of a couple companies in this country. This wasn’t the first nor won’t be the last time companies were playing games with people’s lives.
