Yep, that's why there's no truck drivers to move the goods sitting beside the shipyards.

biden order the shipyards to work 24/7 unloading ships so the chinese would get their ships back sooner....now the good's sit in the yards instead of on the ships..he did nothing to help the real problem....he helped the chinks.

We can put a hurt on the grid ourselves.

Build Back Lower Expectations!!!

That's where you lose me. How would crashing the grid and eliminating electric power work towards the goal of forcing people to buy cars that run on... electric power?

I think he is talking about creating fear to gain compliance.

I mean, I get that, but after the grid came back on the last thing I would want to do is run out and buy an electric car, lol.

“You will own nothing and be happy.”

Create fear, then dependence, then compliance and then turn things back on....but I never said 100% that the grid would go down I said imagine if it did...plus they do not want to do away with electricity they want to do away with fossil fuel power...coal/gas/diesel/gasoline...and if it is mandated that 1/2 of vehicles made are electric there will be a shortage of non electric new vehicles. I wonder if electric vehicle manufacturing right now is effected the same as non electric vehicles by the chip shortage? Anyway, these folks have a grip on power and will not let that go plus they have major changes in mind and they have a track record of using civil crisis to achieve their objectives (floyd violence/riots are an example of that).

I have a hard time understanding those that feel there is more profit in more production, hiring more labor and driving more miles etc. Sure expanding a profitable business makes good sense, but in reality nothing is better for profit then a higher price per item. Production does not come cheap but price is free to get, so if I were running a business that makes me a good profit due to shortage in supply or numbers with less labor, I would be hesitant to expand to add more supply. We read post after post on here where we won't trap coons because they are not profitable enough to trap. The same goes for any business where there are substantial production and labor costs.
Sure is a lot more profit in selling 200 coons at $20 each then 800 coons at $5 each and way less, time, gas, labor and other ancillary costs. We seem to understand when and why to trap and not to trap but don't understand that other businesses have very similar financial patterns as well, be that $4,000 in coon hides or 40 billion in oil or whatever.

I find it fascinating that people just aren't happy.
Capitalists clamor for communism
Communists labor towards capitalism

It's like an episode of "As the World Turns."

well stated.

The new normal if the woke people don't wake up.

Let's at least hope ammo manufacturers keep making ammo. Surely some companies will manage to keep the doors open.

For now, I'm seeing all these shortages as being caused by gross incompetence on the part of those running the Gubmint as opposed to anything sinister. Paying people more to sit at home doing nothing while jobs doing something productive go begging.....is just plain idiotic. And it seems they are bent on doubling down on stupid by passing yet another stimulus bill.

But if it does turn out to be sinister..........and this is all on purpose.......that extra ammo is going to come in handy.

I was in a mountain tourist town today for a meeting. We went to four restaurants, all closed. The fifth was a coffee shop with a few deli sandwiches. This is the height of the tourist season. The town was packed but restaurants were closed. Go figure.

Yes that would be something to have millions of firearms on hand now ammo to use. One could always run around with your firearm and go "bang", "bang" like we did when we were kids. It would sure save on a lot of cleaning products, gun oil etc. If it would ever come to that, we would all quickly learn or see where the allotments would go or would not go. I am sure military and security would win the day in those situations.

The next time you are in the store and can't purchase what you need have them page your friend Lesco Brandon.

Not sure when it ends but it’s easy to see what is happening. The current mandates cause shortages of labor and that causes shortages in supplies. This allows big brother to step in and grab more power. Doesn’t matter if it’s nurses in NY or food on he self in KS.

Well stated? I disagree.

The market will always win out or at least it should. If a business has their prices too high from an induced shortage eventually someone will find a way to do it cheaper, undercut your prices and put you out of business. At least that is how it should work, now when we are in bizarre land and everyone is bailed out either directly or indirectly all bets are off.
