Very poor leadership by the current administration.

Yep. I need to get my SharknadoAttackBlog some more hits. I’m sure there are shark attacks and rumors of shark attacks somewhere!

“Does Biden really expect Israel to “de-escalate” while Hamas rockets continue to bombard its farms, suburbs, and cities? Or is his statement for show — an attempt to appease the increasingly strong anti-Israel faction of the Democratic Party?”

(try again)

“The US used to be the world’s best source of underwear, t-shirts, socks, etc. All of that got exported to foreign suppliers because America’s political masters decided America was better at high end design and everyone else was better at grunt labor.”

toilet paper and hand sanitizer. It was understandable that people would want to hoard those things

or just buy enough so they didn't have to go out for the lockdown.

People discovered that they could stampede the herd and say omg! there is a shortage... and then the panic buying and opportunistic buying would ensue (creating the predicted shortsge)!with people then selling things like toilet paper on ebay. Its literally like Christmas for scammers, its like finding the hot toy in “Jingle All The Way”

I think China made supply chain management easy before. Also I think our corporate overlords are probably trying to squeeze costs.

I think the best thing we can do is to help our local farmers hang on through all the corporate globalist insanity. The more farmers can sell to their local consumer market (which tends to be lucrative), the more they will be able to ride out losses born through no fault of their own.

Remember that we now have activists trying to do economics.

Can’t you just feel the love?!!

These guys produce SO MUCH FOOD, so that could go tits up Russian loading docks type bad quite easily.

Find a whirlpool with a mechanical timer. Easy to fix and will last twenty years. You’ll probably have to buy used. Otherwise get a SpeedQueen

People, here on FR, are saying "Buy crypto. It's down. People are panic selling."

Better, I think, to buy property where you can ride out the storm, food, tools, boots, clothes, tires, essentials.

Moved off the East coast ten years ago to rural MO and bought that property. We're getting fairly close to a good degree of self sufficiency. I got my start on a meat goat herd last Spring with stimulus money. Also bought $250 worth of crypto a few months ago. That turned into $470 at one point and I cashed out $300 shortly after to buy some rear tractor tires.

The remaining crypto has been running anywhere from $96 to $126 over the past few weeks and I wish I had some spare cash to buy more. Do I believe in Bitcoin? Heck no. It only has one purpose, peer to peer monetary exchanges and isn't very good at that due to volatility and fees. The blockchain however, I do believe in. All my little bit of money is in an alt coin that has more real world use than most and has a team behind it with an unbelievable combined IQ and experience. I would also like to put something into one of the privacy coins since the one I'm in is the opposite and apt to become mainstream.

Bicycle or motorcycle?

Bicycle. I’m not a bike snob and I don’t own a stitch of spandex, but I am in the market for a new gravel or trail bike. Not sure exactly where my sweet spot is going to be, but there are half a dozen mid-range bikes that I want to test ride. None of them are available, not even by special order; they’re sold out nationally and the warehouses are empty. The shops all have two years worth of inventory on backorder with no solid information on when anything will arrive.

Speed Queen.

We have one that is great. We bought it and a couple years later, they messed with a fantastic product and ruined it and lost a lot of business.

They just recently reintroduced it as their “Classic” series.
