Retailers in Virginia are keeping their eyes on a problem that’s leading to fewer bottles of alcohol on store shelves right now. This from nbc12.com.
As Virginia goes, so goes the nation? If so, God help us!
This may be proof that supply chain breakdowns do, in fact, affect the delivery of alcohol along with toilet paper, potato chips, and soft tacos—all the bare necessities for contented living in America.
It couldn’t come at a worse time. This is the time of year more people are purchasing liquor as we head into the holidays. But some of your favorite items may or may not be up for grabs. It all has to do with supply chain backlogs. It’s impacted many other products we buy and now the supply issues have made their way to the liquor store. That has ABC officials on high alert.
“We just noticed that actually,” said a man, who asked not to be identified, leaving an ABC store in Chesterfield. “One of the Moonshines was empty.”
ABC said nearly 190 products the company sells are currently out of stock. It’s a number that fluctuates day by day.
It’s leading to bare shelves at some liquor stores nationwide.
Hannah Smith, who works behind the scenes at NBC12, is in the middle of planning a wedding and getting married in less than two weeks.
“We kind of had to change the menu around because they did not have some of the products we wanted,” Smith said.
“They said there was a statewide shortage, so you could go nowhere and find it,” she said.
Virginia’s ABC says there’s no need to panic just yet. They’re working to keep your favorite bottles in supply.
“If a certain rum or tequila is out, making sure that we have other selections for people to pick from,” Hill said. “Maybe they don’t have a 750, but they have a 1 liter, or maybe they don’t have it in glass, but they have it in plastic.”
If anything will bring about a fix to the supply chain breakdown, disrupting people’s liquor deliveries will do it. If this problem is not address quickly, twenty percent of the population risk serious withdrawal symptoms, including Nancy Pelosi as well as nearly half of Congress.
And many who aren’t physically alcohol dependent are psychologically dependent and will demonstrate pronounced mood swings. Imagine the fights on Capitol Hill–above and beyond what we already experience.
If Biden’s keepers have been struggling with devising ways to bring America to its knees, disrupting our delivery of alcohol may finally be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.
This may be Conservatism’s opportunity to Take Back our country.
God speed to the powers of right and true.
