We all know there is a global energy shortage and the ripple effect is creating shortages throughout the economy. This shortage is self-inflicted by Uncle Joe and the Climate Hysterians.
Please, PLEASE don't try to tell me that Biden had nothing to do with it. When the world's largest energy producer (The United States) declares war on energy the cascading damage is predictable.
Perhaps this should be viewed as a multiple choice question:
Q: What caused the Energy shortage?
- A. Intelligence shortage
- B. Honesty shortage
- C. Competence shortage
- D. All of the above
Adderall
There have been rumors of an Adderall shortage for the past few weeks. Yesterday it was officially confirmed by the FDA.
Here again, this is, in part, self-inflicted by the Biden Admin. Legitimate prescriptions for ADHD drugs increased during the endless COVID lock-downs as did 'recreational' use. Faced with a shortage the DEA (which regulates production/supply) has indicated "there is no plan to raise manufacturing limits on ADHD medications next year".
It seems there will be NO Shortage of desperation and craziness in the months ahead.
As you may imagine, some people are resorting to old-fashioned nicotine to help them focus.

This is the most ridiculous and infuriating shortage I've come across. There is an expanding shortage of Ozempic and Wegovy which are used to treat Type 2 diabetes.
Why is there a shortage? ... you ask. Well, weight loss is a side effect of these drugs and they are prescribed to persons who suffer from diabetes AND who are seriously overweight.
Celebrities started using these drugs to get rapid weight loss and it has spread through social media like wildfire. Doctors are writing record numbers of 'off-label' prescriptions for "people who have used the medication as a shortcut to avoid exercise and a healthy diet to help lose weight."

Hey! A$$holes... give the diabetics a break! If ya need to lose weight then Eat Ze Bugs instead of Ze Cheesecake.
Feeling Crabby?
Last year the Alaska Department of Fish and Game cut the snow crab harvest by 88%. This year they have closed the season entirely, for the first time in history.
The snow crab population has plummeted in recent years. Experts suspect disease while the media claim that the crabs have packed their bags because of Climate Change. (click the pic)
My personal theory is based on geography. The crab fishery is in the area between Alaska and Russia. It should be obvious that we have to blame Putin for the shortage.
Corvettes
Now this IS serious. GM is shutting down production of Corvettes because of supply chain issues.
It makes (economic) sense for a manufacturer to cut production of low-cost, entry-level cars to focus supplies on more profitable models. When they cut production of the low-volume, high-profit Corvette they are genuinely screwed up. www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/chevrolet-corvette-production-idled-parts-shortage
