Putin Took My Chicken! The Things You Learn on a Trip to the Base Commissary.

Went to the base Commissary to pick up a few groceries today. When I got to the chicken, I noted that no boneless/skinless breasts were in stock. Only regular skin-on stuff. A worker was standing there, so I made an inquiry. You can't make this stuff up:
ME: Excuse me, mam. Do y'all happen to have any more of the boneless breast packs in the back?
WORKER: No. Haven't you heard? There is a war in Ukraine.
Me: Yes, mam. I actually have heard that. Is that affecting chicken here somehow?
WORKER: Well, they can't grow any crops right now in Ukraine.
Me: Do they normally grow the Commissary chicken in Ukraine?
WORKER: No, I believe it is from Kentucky.
MARINE CORP officer (standing beside me): Mam, are you saying that the Commissary chicken supply is being diverted to feed the Ukrainian people?
WORKER: No, I don't think so. I think they mostly just eat corn. But, we all have to do our part, you know. Freedom isn't free.
At that point, me and the other guy just looked at each other, tried hard not to laugh, and politely bid the lady a nice day.

There has been a distinct shortage of intellect and reasoning power for years. I am certain that inside that lady's skull, the shelves were bare.
I do not think it is a result of the Ukraine war, global warming, or Covid.
I'm going out on a limb and guessing that she did NOT vote for Mr.Trump. like the VP said, "you people" got what you voted for. See there, I just tied into 2 threads at once😁👹
You are correct, it's because of the plan to kill this country and prop up a new world order. Maybe not, but it is def on purpose to bring the USA to her knees.
Keesler has them, maybe they can transfer some.
Aldi didnt have whole chickens the last three times I was there except for the $3 a pound ones.
Well, I better order a few pounds of M&M's. Them Russians love M&M's.
I hate M&Ms now
Commercial broiler production is a large part of the agriculture scene here in eastern nc . All the major intergrators, ie Tyson ,Springer farms ,Case etc are in the midst of major expansions . Actively looking for growers and kicking in unheard of amounts of up front money to help land loans from the banks . In all my years of farming ,growing chickens never seen this kind of money being thrown around. My brother , a purchasing agent for a major equipment supply house, reports his lead time on most poultry house equipment is now running 6 to 7 months .
If they can blame everything on Covid for a couple years, I guess someone can blame lack of chicken on Putin.
Why did the chicken cross the Ukrainian border?
Because Putin said - я положу курицу в каждую кастрюлю = I put cheekin in every pots?
Because it heard about all that corn.
