The empty shelf phenomena I have not noticed as much as a lack of variety in a lot of stores now which I find annoying. A lot of the products I buy tend to have special features like non-toxic antifreeze for instance or works better than the average product out there, the lack of variety merely pushes me to buy from the Internet more and more something which I am not fond of. I think some of it could be due to big corporate buyouts killing any competing products or other monopolist sort of practices. I also noticed more garbage both in bad taste and in construction. It seems they want to pass out Communist-made goods to us while keeping us at the level of children because God knows why anyone would want to grow up these days, perhaps that is not good for the agenda they have.
