You Might Want To Brace Yourself For This Bombshell About Walmart’s Holiday Shortages—It’s SO Bad!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ordered that Walmart, as well as Amazon, Kroger and other retailers, turn over information regarding their empty shelves and price increases amid ongoing supply chain issues. This is getting serious!
