1. Well, my local Publix is low on cream cheese.

But Cramer is still full of it

[HUAJIAO]

12. All of NYC is short on cream cheese.

The bagel shops are going nuts !!

[Just_Vote_Dem]

15. I sometimes put grape jelly on a bagel

When I'm watching out for saturated fat. I enjoy it

[HUAJIAO]

16. I ALWAYS put lox and cream cheese on a bagel...

And some capers. NO onion...

[Just_Vote_Dem]

17. I have to admit that's much more appealing n/t

[japple]

31. The dairy cases in my Kroger and Food City have been full of Philly Cream Cheese (original) all

through the Christmas season. I would have been thrilled to do a swap with a NY bagel shop for bagels to fill my freezer.

The canned cat food aisle is bare. Fancy Feast and other brands of canned cat food are in very short supply in north Georgia.

[HUAJIAO]

48. Feast or Famine, eh !!!!!

[dchill]

18. That ain't cream cheese!

[blogslug]

41. This would be where I would DIY something

Strain some yogurt to make Labna. Or curdle up some whole milk for a nice homemade fresh cheese.

[barbtries]

44. cream cheese has been an issue for us here in Durham NC

my son works at a grocery, they've been out. I finally scored 2 tubs on Amazon Fresh and they're safe in my refrigerator right now. Who wants a bagel without cream cheese?

I also have not been able to get a 12 pack of Barq's root beer for ages. Lastly, a great set of baking pans I wanted to get for my children is no longer available on Amazon. So there are shortages and delays, but nothing life threatening as far as I can tell from my little bubble here at home.

[gratuitous]

2. Most of the people who replied to that twit's tweet called it properly

There was one guy who said that while he liked Cramer, he thought Cramer was better than taking this cheap shot. The very next post was that Cramer is not better than that.

[TheBlackAdder]

50. Is this the guy that touts stocks after money boys are positioned, sending lambs to the slaughter?

[bucolic_frolic]

3. True empty shelves were April 2020. They were disheveled shelves. Total chaos.

This is just cleaned up for new merchandise.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

4. There are shortages

But it seems to be select brands. Except ramen, I haven’t seen ramen in ages.

[BidenRocks]

29. Try 7-11

[SergeStorms]

30. No shortage of Ramen where I live.

Western New York has all the Ramen I guess, but Arizona has all the sunshine and warmer weather.

I'll trade you cases of Ramen for some sunshine and warm weather. Just let me know how you want to package the weather and the Ramen is on it's way.

[Grokenstein]

37. I see ramen, but not the stuff I particularly like...

I mean, it shows up at Safeway once in a while, but both supermarkets within walking distance are currently out and even the overpriced ones at 7-11 are scarce. Amazon has it but the price and availability fluctuates wildly. Maruchan seems to be having serious problems for a long time now. Regular ramen, the stuff I used to unwrap and munch "raw" when I was in college, is still plentiful.

All my favorite Japanese snackies are becoming hard to get. I can cope but it's irritating and worrying.

[StarryNite]

39. North Phx metro area

There is ramen up in my area. At least there was a couple of weeks ago when I bought some.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

42. NW Phx and I hadn't seen any in multiple stores

This was maybe 2 weeks ago? It shocked me but I saw it at a few stores.
The weird individual items are what really strike me - Sierra Mist soda, Eggo waffles, Better Cheddars…

[monkeyman1]

45. that's a store re- modeling ! any person with half a brain could tell !-

nice try-but no cigar ?

[gab13by13]

5. Cramer just does what his right wing owners tell him to do,

[LenaBaby61]

7. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[durablend]

6. It *is* true for the pet food aisle at a lot of stores though

[BlackSkimmer]

10. Cat food seems to be scarce. No idea why.

I don’t even have a cat, but I feed some ferals.

Oddly having a problem finding spray paint.

[spinbaby]

13. It's the cans

Apparently there’s some kind of shortage of aluminum cans. There’s plenty of dry food, it’s the cans they’re out of.

[BlackSkimmer]

14. Yeah, but I buy those little foil packages. I never buy the cans.

I spoil the ferals lol.

[soldierant]

40. Yeah, me too.

We have only one neighborhood cat (I don't think he's even a feral, just an opportunist.) And he's picky. Why get food that spoils/

[rpannier]

23. Fancy Feast Cat food is hard to find (here in Japan)

Unless it's the red can. No cat wants that (mine throws it up). I think it repulses even feral cats

[BlackSkimmer]

25. Exactly, it's the Fancy Feast I buy for the ferals.

Lol, I know nothing about the red cans!

[COL Mustard]

27. I'm having a hard time finding the

"Right" kind of canned cat food. It has to be a certain brand, and a certain palate of flavors or the spoiled little shit won't eat it. Would my father have done that for me? NOOOOO.....

[BlackSkimmer]

28. Lol, I know!

The one feral really really liked the gravy Fancy Feast, or so I thought.

Bought a bunch, and now the wee gowk won’t eat it! Grr.

[COL Mustard]

34. Spoiled little shits

In my day they'd eat or go hungry. Are there no poorhouses?

I cater to our Baby (who's now 4) like no one would believe.

[BlackSkimmer]

46. Lol!

Indeed they are!

[MerryBlooms]

38. I've been giving our ferals

Sardines, chub mackerel, sliced hot dogs and tuna in oil. Can cat food has been in short supply.

[COL Mustard]

47. Where do you live?

I may stop by for dinner soon!

[MerryBlooms]

51. Rogue Valley, Oregon.

The chub mackerel, tuna and sardines are a really good buy at dollar store and our local grocery store. I made a prime rib for Christmas dinner, so they're eating pretty high-on-the-hog these days. lol They absolutely have been loving the beef fat off the prime... They eat the fat before the meat. The one feral has fire scars on his face from the Almeda fire, so whatever I can do to spoil that sweet boy, I do! I bought him some Rockin Lobster treats for Christmas, and he loves them. He is so sweet. I don't know how long he's been on his own. He has an ear that is broken in half, his tail is broken in at least 3 places, his left eye doesn't work very well, and then the burn marks and no whiskers on that one side of his face. I call him Smokey. He knows his name and likes me to talk to him, and I play, What's My Line, during the late night feeding. We keep a warming bed on the porch for them. I have fallen in love with these guys.

Goldie is the big black panther. He could barely walk when he first came. He was starving. Now he's the king of the block- huge cat! Then there's Smokey Jr, aka, Crybaby. That one is a big gray kitty that knows to meow to get human attention, the other two are silent. Crybaby lives in the woods behind our house, and has a den somewhere away from all the rest. The other two live in our mobile park, under houses.

[COL Mustard]

55. Sounds like they are really lucky!

I wish they all were!

[oldsoftie]

35. THATS true! Cant find the pouchs or cans my little enjoys. Even WalMart brand

And its BEEN this way for some time. Publix, Kroger, WM all low

[madinmaryland]

52. Too many republicans have been huffing that shit for the last five years or more.

[Rebl2]

22. We buy

dry cat food and haven’t had trouble finding it

[FakeNoose]

8. All the Christmas merchandise gets taken off the shelves about 2 days after Christmas

I think they dump it at the Dollar Stores? I don't know.

Actually I love buying candy when it's discounted 50% off. That's my favorite kind of candy.

[Hortensis]

49. Right regarding it disappearing. I used to plan on picking up

discounted after-Chrismas stuff, but no more, most gone BY opening of the stores the day after. Buy what you like before Christmas or wait another year.

Obviously transport was not lacking for the merchandise cleared from these shelves.

[Takket]

9. that damn liberal media strikes again.........

[BeyondGeography]

11. The Dow is only up 18.92 percent this year

Suboptimal.

[ProfessorGAC]

43. I See 20.43%

Just checked the djia realtime.
Opened the year at 30,223.89. Closed today at 36,398.21. Up 6,174.32 for the year.
Is that less suboptimal?
BTW: really good post!

[dchill]

19. Cramer is another asshole with a point of view...

...that he is willing to bend reality to fit it. Can't stand the sight or sound of him.

[rpannier]

26. Best thing I can say about Cramer

He's less wrong than Krudlow, but that's an easy bar to step over. I'm right more often the kudlow about everything

[berni_mccoy]

20. There's an old saying in Investment Circles: Do exactly the opposite of what Cramer recommends

And you’ll do just fine with your trades. I don’t understand why CNBC keeps him on…

[CaptainTruth]

33. IMHO he's only given 2 pieces of investment advice that I use, & haven't failed me.

The primary one is the "paper vs metal" concept, which has allowed me to profit during market downturns. A useful general concept.

[lonely bird]

21. Suboptimal?

Yeah, that describes Jim Cramer. Why does anyone anywhere pay any attention to him?

[NoMoreRepugs]

24. Cuz he's on the teevee. To a goober that's as good as it gets.

[yonder]

36. Kramer got run out of the entertainment world

for some ugly comments.

We could hope Cramer's stand up routine meets the same end.

[JI7]

53. And these people get paid for this shit

[Tree Lady]

54. Just went shopping yesterday at Costco

Everything that had problems back in stock, toilet paper, cleaners, lysol, wipes, paper towels, etc
Pet food too.

No food missing of any kind.
