Disinfectant sprays, along with other cleaning supplies, are hard to find. Here's why – and what to do about it.

Just one more way the government is putting its control over again. First a lockdown which was sort of understandable,

now the mask switch I can kind of understand but there's now a change shortage, and a shortage on all supplies. Laundry detergent toilet paper napkins any kind of disinfectant wipes. Thank God for Clorox bleach

The government doesn't control those companies it greedy people that have caused this shortage! Get a clue!

Consumers don't cause shortages April Evansart! The market adjusts. If there is a shortage of any commodity it's generally because of a break in the supply chain. How many of these products are manufactured overseas? Get a clue.

Oh, and how much has been hoarded by GOVERNMENT? I'll bet FEMA has mountains of the stuff. Just like when we had shortages of ammunition because government was buying it all up, remember that?

A lot of this stuff comes from overseas, particularly China, and so we just aren't getting it. I do wonder, though; during the Obama Administration we had a shortage of ammunition and it was because the Administration was buying up all the bullets. Every department of the Executive Branch was buying it up, including NASA and the Department of Education. It was an artificial shortage. I wonder if that isn't happening now, if FEMA isn't overstocking. Normally suppliers ramp up production to meet increased demand. In fact, back in March I read where a number of manufacturers swore America wouldn't face shortages of these commodities like they were then having in Asia. So what happened? Clearly they weren't able to get as much as needed and didn't plan properly. Or they did but someone gobbled the extra supply up.If nothing else this should be a cautionary tale about the dangers of globalism; one break in the supply chain and everyone is scrambling for scraps.
