Supply Chain Crisis
Me | 3/15/2022 | Me

Posted on 03/15/2022 6:40:59 AM PDT by The Louiswu

So whatever happened to the supply chain crisis? There were mountains of unloaded containers sitting on docks, are they still there? There were hundreds of ships anchored, waiting to be unloaded, are they still sitting idle? Truckers were unable to work due to mask and vaccination requirements, does that still hold? So much has transpired in the world so quickly that news falls off the national radar very quickly, I try to catch up once in a while and I like to reach out and see what people know or have heard. Thanks for your input.

“The supply chain is still an issue, the media, government propaganda ministry is ignoring it.”

There are still plenty of empty shelves around Raleigh. Last week I visited 3 stores looking for cream cheese. When I finally found it, it had doubled in price. I agree with other posters; this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The supply chain has many links. The ship congestion at Long Beach was a temporary thing as it is easy to reroute ships and use trucks instead. I see a lot of the supply problems arising in the scarcity of raw materials now, preventing the manufacturing of products.

The backlog of ships waiting to unload at the ports in long Beach and Los Angeles is still there, they just moved most of them to South Orange County and further out to sea so the people couldn’t see them all stacked up like sardines.

The supply chain is sputtering to a halt, by design.

Those millions of “immigrants” pouring over the border are going to be roaming the countryside like the Walking Dead when the grocery store shelves are empty.

The endgame is extermination of legacy US citizens.

It is still a mess. I went to a Meijer this week and bare shelves and freezer cases with “sorry but yada yada” signs on them.

It is still a mess but things are happening so fast that we can’t see what happened right before the next thing. THIS IS ON PURPOSE.

It is hard to believe after what we now know about the clotshots, that they want to force another one. THEY COUNT ON IGNORANCE.

The focus now is on Ukraine and a new DHS announcement has been made as an edict to criminalize free speech regarding the 2020 election, coronavirus and vaxes.

Each day it all worsens

The lack of cream cheese on the shelves was interesting. It went on for some time, and the product is still hard to find. Blueberry waffles was another item that was almost impossible to find out here in the Los Angeles area. That shortage seems to be alleviated for now.

People seemed to be hoarding bottled water again, like 2020, but that problem has eased.

“This is the soviet method of doing business”

One curious thing about the Ukraine affair is the level of enmity exhibited by the media toward Russia. Other regimes have done bad things in recent years, but the US legacy media never made it quite so personal. You have to go back to WWII when they were throwing around words like “nip” and “kraut” to get to the current level of, frankly, hate. I wonder if the reason for this is that the Russians tried communism, they could not make it work, and so the left is hating on thme for their screw up.

I can understand 2020. Massive changes in the way people live disrupted consumption patterns and led to things like shortages of consumer toilet paper and surpluses of the commercial version. But it is strange and alarming that it continues into 2022.

I do not think I am informed enough to answer your question. I stopped watching the lamestream media as soon as the LIE where they claimed biden won the election was told. I no longer watch the lamestream. All the lamestream does is lie and push their agenda. No I’ll do my own research and form my own opinions instead of allowing the lamestream to tell me their opinion. After all there is no facts presented on the lamestream anymore only their opinions

It may well end up like that, but we are not going to shuffle into cattle cars like polite Jews. We will take a whole lot of them with us.

This guy, Sal Mercagliano, is an expert in Maritime law and has been in the industry forever. He usually has some salient things to report vis a vis the shipping picture and has his eyes on a lot of stuff. No of ships offshore; port container statistics, etc etc. He’s pretty interesting and easy to digest.

Where we are in this saga is quite amorphous right now; most of the meaty developments occurred last year or even the year before and some of his older videos provide some good insight in a background sort of way. What I’m trying to say is that the news flow in so garbled up right now that a snapshot of “right now” is likely to present a very skewed distorted picture of the overall situation.

Correct. The shipping issue was an easy one to solve. The scarcity problem is a much harder one.

China is getting richer. Ten years ago China was vacuuming up the world’s supplies of scrap steel and recycling. Today the Chinese consumer has discretionary income and the want video games, cars, and fancy clothes. Global capacity is not increasing fast enough to meet that new demand.

The MSM can only deal with 2 or 3 shiny objects at a time, despite broadcasting all day.

No truer words were ever spoken, my FRiend.
