In the international news. If you pay attention.

if you’re waiting for fox or cnn to tell you you’ll never hear it.

Read about the shipper who has or is fixing to declare force majeur on their entire container stock sitting on the dock in china.

etc.

the news is out there, in 1 or 2 line blurbs in industry or niche articles.

And then there’s stuff like this:

anecdotally, I tried to buy a cell phone. I don’t do smart phones. It’s been easy to get some sort of flip phone before. find the one I want, order it, get it in, etc. This past weekend I had to go through 5 different choices before I found one that was in stock. The others were out of stock no idea when they’d be in stock again. 2 of those out of stock choices had BEEN in stock the week before. I have no idea bout the other 3 because I never had to use a second choice before even though I always had one just in case.

car parts, pretty much anything from P&G apparently too not to mention antibiotics, OTC meds, prescription meds, masks, etc..

FOX is unwatchable and has been since the debates started. All they have been reporting is reruns of CNN (!) and stumping for the DNC 24/7. You can’t channel surf without landing on FOX where it’s Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. Disgusting. Apparently there’s no news happening anywhere in the world outside the demonrat debates.
