On Sunday I spoke with one of my old racing yacht crew who is now doing extremely well in Global Shipping. I asked if there was anything we were not being told, or what the real story of the ship blocking the Suez was. He was cagey but told me.. “If you need Garden Furniture, buy it today.”

Good article. It just seems like everything is becoming destabilized. The supply chains for just about everything are currently disrupted. As I pointed out previously, I am waiting 6 months for a drill press I ordered. I am hearing of household appliance disruptions. The only reason we have not seen this in the food supply is because that is among the very few things we “manufacture” domestically.

It is my personal belief that Trump was tough on China, and he was beating them into reluctant submission. Now, with a weak and feckless Obama puppet president, China will not wait and make that same mistake again. They will act and do so under as much cover of darkness as possible, but they will march towards global dominance. At some point they may have to act above the threshold, such as taking Taiwan, but they will do so.

The Obama puppet (Biden) have long stated their goal to transform America and to bring her into world submission, and they are doing this very thing. The military is quickly and intentionally being hollowed out with leftist ideology. I doubt we will ever again dominate the world again militarily. China will rapidly pass the US in readiness and capability.

Brace, brace, brace.

The last bulwark against the “Great Reset” has been taken down, Trump. Let the games begin. Anyone that thinks the Wuhan virus release was a mistake just ain’t paying attention.

After the TX big freeze, it took 10-14 days to get food back on grocery shelves.

We had to buy a new washing machine at the beginning of covid. It doesn’t run through the cycles correctly but we couldn’t get a replacement or get it fixed back then so we’re stuck with it. Pain in the backside to manually operate the cycles and takes all day to run a load. Thanks, Whirlpool - not.

Whirlpool is manufactured in China. This morning they were saying their inability to meet demand is due to the "chip" shortage. Lots of appliances have "chips" in them now and the shortage is messing with everyone dependent on them.

My tinfoil hat says the “chip shortage” is intentional.
Just like Covid.

*** And, whatever else you need...***

I’ll ditto that. Get what you need before prices skyrocket. They will continue to go up.

I was never a hoarder before CoVid, at least for things I need every day. I do collect nostalgic items that I don’t need, but help me remember happy days gone by.

Now, I stock up on nearly everything. Supply chain issues (my husband’s field) are talked about regularly now. Used to be he kept that for the work day. Now we laughingly call me a “domestic procurement specialist”. As soon as something is used or consumed, it’s on the list to be replaced.

Which reminds me, there are a few items I need to add.

See the effect just one supply chain clogged, and its international economic impact via the Suez Canal..

See an example, and its after effects in the original posting (OP).

You’re still not a hoarder.

Wise prepping is not “hoarding”.

Hoarding is grabbing everything you can whether you need it or not and hanging onto it at the expense of others.

Where would we or our ancestors be without wise prepping for hard times.

These last couple generations are really the first ever that lived hand to mouth as a normal course of existence.

Taïwan does have their missiles aimed at 3 gorges dam and could use this threat if invasion is imminent.

I’m a prepper and a bit of a hoarder, LOL

Especially the last 10 years.

Possible be cause of supply chain middle men and an infrastructure enabling it. Imagine what America looks like after 30,000,000 million from all walks of life are suddenly vanished. The days following the Departure of The Body of Christ Believers will be hell on Earth in the cities and suburbs.

Such BS. Make it here. We need tariffs to short circuit “gloBULLism” trade.

Should be made in the USA. What the hell is with with us?

I have a Whirlpool fridge in my garage, still running after twentysix years, still does its thing tirelessly ... it was made in the USA. My in kitchen LG comes out of Mexico, possibly made in China. The installers told me to take out the insurance for the first five years since most of the ones they’ve installed have ceased to work at the four to five year mark. Something about the new ‘inverter’ technology ... and there are chips in the brain of that LG fridge, too. I wonder if planned obsolescence has morphed into ‘timed to die technology’?
