Yeah good point. Could be the stores didn’t want to be stuck with worthless inventory.I had heard this was coming a few weeks ago. Didn't understand the big delay with the latest outbreak. Then in the last week or two all the local stores had sold out of covid tests and everyone was searching for tests that couldn't be found.
Then it made sense. Career politician let big retail bribe him into delaying the rollout so they wouldn't be stuck with full shelves trying to sell something the feds were giving out for free.
I know the government can't move fast enough to give out free tests quickly enough anyway, but it does explain why none of the local stores were rushing to restock their shelves.
but I still think it smells more like the supply was always there and it just got bought up by Biden.
