Diesel Is Far From the Only Shortage U.S. Is Facing
Newsweak via MSN ^ | 10/31/2022 | Anna Skinner

mericans experienced the impact of labor and product shortages in earnest during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than two years later, shortages continue to arise and impact Americans.

Earlier this month, Americans learned there was less than a month of diesel supply left in storage. It is the lowest storage supply since 2008 and has led to skyrocketing prices as U.S. refineries struggle to keep up with demand.

But it doesn't stop there. Dozens of other sectors are struggling to meet demand––and the U.S. has experienced shortages ranging from employees to medications to parts needed for U.S. defense contractors' weapons.

The end of fossil fuels is the end of food.

Not for Bill Gates and Warren Buffett and Klaus Schwab, of course.

Just for us.

Eat your bugs and quit complaining!

Some starving children in Europe have to eat frozen bugs.

'The end of fossil fuels is the end of food."

The end of fossil petroleum fuels is the end of food.

As stupid increases the supply of everything else naturally decreases.

The Left thinks a man can be a woman ... that alone explains why we are living with Stupid not just capable of species suicide but a Stupid designed to facilitate killing off many, if not all, of the species.

The supply chains already stressed and underperforming, are due for a massive collapse, one by one, as the Diesel fuel that feeds the fleets of trucks and rail transportation gets depleted, and no supply is forthcoming.

And you thought price inflation was already bad...

The country of China has undergone some pretty devastating famines in the past, when people were reduced to eating dirt, to derive some small amount of nutrition from the soil, after the grass was chewed down to the roots.

Not everybody survived. But some did.

“And you thought price inflation was already bad...”

I stocked up major. 2 freezers packed

But if the power goes out, I’m hosed unless it’s freezing outside.

Found this interesting way to get some heat in your home...

Get your Christmas shopping done early.

By the end of November there will be no diesel fuel left to power all those UPS and Fed Ex trucks that deliver the parcels.

Oh, no! Not Purina!

Yes. I usual put “fossil” in quotes.

It doesn’t’ come from dinosaurs.

It’s being made in the Earth’s crust right now.

I’ve been buying meat cuts on sale all year and turning it into jerky for this exact reason.

When I was a kid, my Dad had a friend who was a trucker. When the Carter administration led to higher gas prices, he told my Dad, “Stock up on food”.

The moment Xiden canceled American’s gas, I stocked up on food.

Had about 8 or 9 months spent less than 10 dollars.

Butter, bread and milk are my biggest expense.

All Putin’s fault. All mega ultra super dooper MAGA republicans’ fault. Big oil’s fault. Not the democrats who run everything and have done everything they can to end energy production.
