Did we go through the same covid? No country on earth had food shortages while majority of people were stuck at home. COVID was a perfect demonstration of resiliency of trade and JIT systems. But you ate up the news the media put out that were basically china-boogeymen, to force government to create the huge CHIPs act.

Nothing I said is specifically related to food, and there's ample documentation of numerous kinds of shortages during covid:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortages_related_to_the_COVID...

The bogeyman exists - there were factually shortages in hundreds of different kinds of goods. You're just stupid because you can't do a 5-second Google search.

So what was devastating then? Maybe you mean it was devastating that toilet paper was missing for 3 days or bread baking flour for hipsters that started sourdough. Devastating shortages in my book are what you see im the history books, people dying because of the shortages themselves.
Your attempt to redefine words neither makes your points valid nor redeems your lack of intelligence.
