OOOOO Rummo has run out of stock… Maybe it's time to wake up.
And do you know why they ran out of stock? It's all due to the national road blockade by truck drivers, which is paralyzing the supply chain and preventing the arrival of trucks and tankers carrying raw materials.
And they are completely right to protest, you know that, right? And someone has to say it.
The SOUTH is moving and doing so in a clear and decisive way, all of Southern Italy, in particular Campania, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily, Molise, and Basilicata. The freight transport protests are moving using different methods, all with a single goal: freezing the supply chain at critical hub points.
And let us tell you what the f*** they are doing, because for all those who haven't realized it yet, the problem affects everyone, it affects even you who are thinking about distilling Merlin's sword (yes, we're being ironic or maybe we're just being real) or you who are fighting over the 50bestbars event trying to analyze its every aspect instead of giving a voice to those who are making history.
You don't need a Harvard degree to understand what the hell is happening:
The blockade of tankers and raw materials: and from this you can understand why Rummo has stopped, not because demand is missing, but because trucks with durum wheat semolina are not arriving.
Selective filtering: Truck drivers are not just blocking highways but are specifically stopping industrial goods trucks, heavy vehicles, and supply to large retailers, allowing only private light traffic.
The 'closed port' effect: At the gates of Naples, Salerno, and Gioia Tauro, ships unload containers, but the trucks remain turned off in the yards. Intermodality via sea is blocked at the origin.
And now have you asked yourselves why the f*** they are doing all this? Because they woke up one morning and decided to close everything down?
With spikes in the cost of diesel, highway tolls, and vehicle wear and tear, a trip from South to North (or boarding ferries to the islands) has become an unviable operation. Meaning it is economically unsustainable, people are one step away from collapsing.
And now it is pasta that has vanished from the shelves, but soon it will be the raw materials you use every day in your bars and restaurants. Are you still interested in talking about the mafia that seems to revolve around 50best or is it time to wake up? We await answers.
And on our part, we congratulate a category that has always been seen as the fifth wheel on the wagon, but has proven it can stop a country.
