BECAUSE COVIDIOCY: The coming crabcake crisis.

The crisis is real -- and not with just crabcakes and restaurants -- it's everywhere. Big box, grocery, hardware stores, all. The bigger stores may be short an item or two I buy for a day or so; littler ones, much longer. I've been to our local Dollar General to buy a grocery item or two and find the shelves fully stocked on Tuesday and empty -- literally empty -- on Thursday.

Employees I talk to tell me it's the supply chain. The supplies are there, but the manufacturing, processing, and distribution facilities don't have the employees to run at full capacity. (And the stores themselves don't have enough employees to keep their own shelves stocked; every one of them is hiring anyone with a warm body and the wherewithal to show up.)

Feel free to thank our government covidiots....
