The only issue I saw was frozen potatoes. I went on Thursday afternoon and the shelves were bare. So I had to peel and cut. Also heard of cream cheese shortages.  

I had cheesy potatoes at both my mom's house Saturday and my cousin's house yesterday. They both bought the pre-diced potatoes. They must have been one of the lucky ones.

way back in the dark ages, Government recognized that with nothing but a profit motive, mass media could easily  degenerate into a socially destructive force, so they required media to act in the public interest as part of the licensing process. It wasn't a perfect solution, but the fact that the Gov always held the hammer of being able to revoke a license still had a powerful effect - to the point that media companies didn't even operate their news divisions as profit centers. If conservatives are so hot to get back to 1950's values, that was one of them.
