This coming food shortage has as much to do with war as the government's pandemic restrictions on civil liberties and human rights has to do with a virus.

Where's the tuna melt? Worker shortages mean smaller menus, limited choices and fewer shows

Simplicity may mean better jobs

"A slimmed-down strategy also allows businesses to be more productive while attracting workers with more straightforward jobs that come with fewer headaches and shorter hours, says Sarah Kalloch, executive director of the Good Jobs Institute, which helps companies create good jobs.

Some consumers may be irked that their favorite entrée or potato chip brand may not be available. But many others appreciate a less dizzying array of choices, Kalloch says.

A few years ago, Sam’s Club shaved the number of items it carried by 20%. Simpler offerings meant less training, Kalloch of Good Jobs says. Restocking shelves was faster and workers became more productive and made fewer mistakes, leading to higher wages. Shifts were more predictable, allowing for consistent schedules and lower employee turnover.

“We have to make operations less complex,” Kalloch says. “Everybody’s better able to execute; there’s cost savings.”

But Kalloch disagrees, saying consumers are fatigued by too much variety."

What is Good Jobs Institute? A leftist business model association run by Marxists who've never run a business, hired a worker, but who've been schooled at the finest, elite institutions in how to direct the ignorant worker class beneath them to do their assigned tasks more efficiently. Often educated in the social sciences, behavioral sciences, psychological manipulation to change the "choice architecture" available to the ignorant masses. These are the people telling Costco, Quest Diagnostics, Toyota, Reuters, etc how to run their businesses and manage their employees. Do they inspire you with confidence that they are looking out for your best interests?

Does the President, Sarah Kalloch, who tells you that people want less choice and are fatigued by too much variety inspire you with confidence that she's looking out for your best interests?

Nothing like a little food shortage crisis to remove those "dizzying array of choices" for consumers.

Using Choice Architecture for Good

When all of the world events, from pandemic to war to supply and food chain shortages all seem to result in moving society towards what the World Economic Forum calls The Great Reset and the United Nations calls Agenda 2030, a restructuring of society where you will "own nothing and be happy", where we'll "eat bugs" (and be happy) as free speech is constrained to public-private government-corporate approved topics and barriers and the "best science" we're being told we must follow is social and behavioral science advancing collectivist authoritarian agendas you might look at things like the war in Ukraine and Russia and coming food shortages, the pandemic and resulting intrusions on the rights and liberties of free people and free commerce and body autonomy, freedom of movement and association, etc as actually being just a means to an end. Maybe focusing on who and what agenda is behind these continuous crises destroying the fabric of our free and democratic society and civilization would be a good idea. Like hunting down and stopping the arsonists in the act instead of just putting out the fires they light.
