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.

I’m seeing it on multiple fronts. Grocery stores here have large portions of empty shelves. Sam’s last week had zero fresh chicken - breasts, wings, or whole.

My company is starting to get components in but freight and container costs are at least quadruple of not more. Now there is a massive nickel shortage, which means anything stainless steel is going to be in short supply.

The reason they illegally digitized a billion FFL Form 4473s is so they can have maps with circles around the homes of all the “assault weapon” owners.

They’ll be using Predator missiles on those.

“They’ll be using Predator missiles on those.”

There are like 100 million firearms owners in the US. That is a LOT of Predators. Also, I would not want to be a relative, by blood or marriage, to anyone who operates one. Or a Bernie voter living in a home once occupied by a gun owner. Then you have the usual gummit screwups, like mistaking a relief worker and his kids for terrorists. It will be a lot more complicated than just sending the drones out.

My point is, they know who to target.

You can see plenty of them as you drive up the coast.

Rising prices don’t cause inflation; they are the result of inflation.

Worker shortages still exist. They got paid to sit at home for so long that few now want to work or know what work is.

Because now everything is Putin’s fault. The Putin price hike. The Putin supply chain. The Putin climate change. The Putin covid19 pandemic. Putin Putin Putin

Here’s an interesting web site https://shiptracker.live/ at the site click the start button then zoom in on the west coast. It appears that a lot of ship traffic is being routed through the Panama Canal to gulf coast ports.
