Yeah I heard about that. The chip shortage is ramping back up too after just getting better due to a new wave in SE Asia. Right now a full container from China costs about $15k due to this Ningbo shyt. You hear there is a crunch in aluminum cans too? Small drink manufacturers may get hit with the quickness.
Man I better stock back up on the food. You suggest being ready to bug out if shyt gets ugly?
Haven't heard about the aluminum cans issue and that's ominous given the news about metals prices increasing but I'm hearing they're trying to get the port back open as of now thankfully but I talked to a supplier who provides us tilapia and farm raised salmon and they're getting antsy because the feed (some of the same used for cattle) is getting expensive and because of the poor grain harvests they're already telling me to expect 20 - 25 percent markups on fish going into fall, which means higher costs for restaurants and subsequently, higher costs for consumers.
Supplies getting tight plus the USDA is paying farmers to take a good portion of their off crops off market which is devious as hell. Still looking like fall and winter this year is when the wheels fall off.. Tightening supplies combined with the end of all last year's stimulus measures makes for interesting times. I'd keep stocking up. I have 5 50 lb bags of rice and wheat along with 2 large caches of US and Portuguese Army MREs and other foodstuffs outside in a property I bought two years ago outside of Palominas, AZ..about 15 miles from Mexico. I got a lot of old military buddies who got land in the Ozarks due to the elevation. fukk that.
I have ZERO plans on being either on the West or East coast either.
If you see that I haven't posted on here in a space of two weeks then you need to assume I've cashed out a heavy favor, gotten a heads up and have moved to get the fukk out of imminent danger.
