She says everything we already know about Trump but she's a woman so it's empowering and also not funny.

Why would that matter? They're lesbians, so they wouldn't be interested in you unless you had a vagina. Do you?

Trader Joe's reveals surprising source for keeping toilet paper stocked during pandemic

Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

As news of the coronavirus pandemic swept across the country, grocery stores were faced with challenges due to panic buying and disruptions in supply chains. One grocery store chain discussed how they adapted to these issues to keep their stores stocked (as well as they could).

Matt Sloan, vice president of marketing for Trader Joe’s, and Tara Miller, the company’s marketing director, recently discussed the chain’s process for the issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic on an episode of the podcast “Inside Trader Joe’s.” According to the duo, simply keeping shelves stocked was an issue.

In the podcast, they described the sight of empty shelves at grocery stores as a “shock” to the system.

According to Miller, the grocery store found an unlikely source for certain products: a national hotel chain. As the pandemic hit the country, a large national hotel chain (it wasn’t specified which one) was reportedly losing guests. This left that company with an excess supply of certain items, including toilet paper.

At the start of the pandemic, as panic buying occurred, toilet paper became a highly sought after item--after all, everyone needs it and it has no expiration date.

Trader Joe’s reportedly struck a deal with this chain to buy their excess supply of toilet paper, which is sold for about 69 cents a roll.

Since John Oliver was in this video for about 10 seconds, I feel like you have had this video saved for another  reason, and said ah fuck it, I'll use it now.

He at least had a good sense of humor about it unlike others in the media who struggle to admit when they are wrong or act like little children who don’t get their way.

Rona has really showed how rigid and inflexible the supply chains are.  You have the grocery supply chain which is running out of items.  And yet the restaurant and (didn't know hotels also had a seperate supply chain) hotel supply chains that had plenty to go around.  Now with this supposed meat shortage, I wonder if again, it's just an illusion, and the restaurant supply chain is just sitting on a bunch of meat it can't sell for some reason to the public.  

And part of the problem is that restaurants would try and sell "groceries" or fresh produce and meats.  But the gooberment in at least Southern California would shut them down since they didn't have the proper licences to sell produce/groceries.

I went to 2 stores yesterday. 

Both completely stocked with meat.

At those prices, maybe they are getting shut down for price gouging.

I don't see anything that is that far out of line. They were selling 5 lbs of ground beef for $19. Pretty good price.
