One of the downsides to ‘just in time’ inventory.
We should put more tariffs on everything.
Too many dollars chasing too few products... Inflation will continue to get worse
“When a single worker recently tested positive for COVID, China shut down one of the busiest port terminals in the entire world “indefinitely””
And we know that is the CHICOMS employing economic warfare since they would sacrifice a million workers in a heart beat for the best interests of the party.
"The cause of the disruption is a combination of a shortage of truck drivers, Brexit EU immigration rules, and COVID restrictions, and self-isolation guidance. "
Our local Wal Mart is having trouble keeping certain items in stock. Entire coolers were empty yesterday afternoon, something I’d never seen before. They were even out of ice cream, except for some expensive brands. Other items like frozen french fries, frozen vegetables and TV dinners were gone. We are now shopping early in the morning when they restock because lots of popular items are gone by midday. Some aisles look like a grocery store in the third world if you go later in the day.
Oh c’mon! McDonald’s shake machines are never working. Especially when you really want one!
Beatings will continue until morale improves...?
Note to Deep State: Hold your breath while you wait.
Make everything in the USA. Do it. Tariffs. Lots of tariffs are needed.
A parts guy at A Toyota dealer told me the company can’t get enough of the the foam it needs for seats. Same with furniture makers.
A salesman told him the stuff they supplied in spray cans was held up because spray cans were in short supply. One of the products from the company was undercoating.
Different products required different seal within the cans. That was an issue too.
What else is in short supply that’s not common knowledge?
Canning lids made by Kerr or Ball are selling for close to a dollar EACH on secondary markets. Stores don’t have them in stock. Yes, I realize it’s summer in the US, but this has been going on for quite a while. I did see some “Pur” brand lids in Menards. Not sure if they’re any good.
We are quickly becoming a third world because of the Great Reset.
And most of the used cars were Japanese name plates.
Usually service will wash the car after they are done with the service, but not Monday because the car wash was broken.
Makes you wonder how long a new car dealer can run before they either become a used car dealer or close.
If the USA were self sufficient we wouldn’t need imports. Make it here!!!
Socialism!
We are entering socialism folks. Be ready, this is just the beginning!
I see days long lines for some meat at the end of the tunnel!
Some high end large Zebra printers are several weeks behind in back order.
Dell and laptops has been tough. Of course people in the field have had a bought of breaking their laptops and a few died due to age.
Start keeping all the old news papers, etc that aren’t slick paper.
Keep all your corn cobs. Just a review of the past trials and tribulations.

Yesterday, Kamalamadingdong talked about getting Christmas presents NOW for your kids, because there might be shortages later. This administration knows what’s coming. Of course, they don’t really care how badly they’re destroying the economy because, well, Orange Man Bad.
