This community is to share information on post-COVID supply shortages and to share knowledge of things in short supply in your area or line of work.

Rule 1: Be Civil

Incivility isn’t allowed on this sub. We want to encourage a respectful discussion. Incivility includes but isn’t limited to:

bigotry
broad generalizations about groups of people
insulting other users
threats posting personal information celebrating or wishing for someone’s illness attempts to stir up drama

Rule 2: Avoid politics

Off topic political posts and comments will be removed. These off topic discussions can easily come to dominate online discussions. Therefore we remove these unrelated posts and comments and lock comments on borderline posts. Politics includes but isn’t limited to:

shaming campaigns against businesses and individuals.
posts about a politician’s take on events will be removed unless they are actively discussing policy or legislation.
opinion pieces may be removed.

Rule 3: Avoid reposting information

Reposts will be removed. Reposts also cover new posts containing only information that has already been posted.

New information on the same story may only be posted if such information is significant in some way.
