We are there for anyone that is paying attention... Shortages have been seen on the shelves for months and there really hasn't been a run on things outside of ammunition...

Reset will happen, but I think it will happen before previously thought. People just don't care until the food is gone at Walmart, the Amazon driver doesn't show up, or Netflix doesn't work. (by that time, its too late)
I'm honestly stunned that people don't hear the canary singing already.
Yes. I get that in most places, you can still go to the grocery store and execute a grocery trip. But, it is VERY noticeable that things are a bit off in there and, it's been progressively worse. Yet, somehow, most people are primarily concerned about the prices.
I'm like bitch, in several months, you're gonna WISH you could buy it for that price........ANY price.

They all think or choose to believe someone is going to save them, some bad decisions can't be easily fixed or reversed.
I would imagine Rome looked similar to this, there is stories of parties going on while it burned. (sounds more believable by the minute)

Not that old school supply chains would be better. It would have just moved the train wreck to the right in time.

Man. I was screaming this shite from the rooftops.
It is absolutely possible to frick up so bad, that no one can un-frick it.
We treated our economy like it was a goddamned perpetual motion machine.

Go to stores, the only thing I can't find is the cocoa I like for chili. Use Land of Lakes instead.

Yeah I guess we’re fricked then. Just have to hope for the best and add to the food storage.
I have a friend that has a brother that works at an auto parts store. He said their shelves are starting to empty. Folks have to hope their vehicles don’t break down.
We have a massive natural gas furnace at work that needs parts, it’s been down three weeks.

One major hole in American education that I've only fully come to recognize in the last several years is that while many Americans are aware of the worst failures of governments like the Soviet Union, they all seem to think that the shite fell out of the sky.
Ya know. Like one day, Soviet Union doing OK, next day, bread lines for miles and 2 chickens in the grocery store.
No. This shite is far more gradual than that. Hell. If you waved a wand and made the US a 100% communist state, we'd probably all be cheering the economic effects for a least a few years. It would be raining resources! Until, one day, it was raining less...........then less..........then less..........then........

Pretty much and when you throw in absolute incompetence (like CA emissions standards, union contracts, etc) it only accelerates things...
I have a piece of equipment that is waiting on parts since 9/13. They are scheduled to ship from Belgium on 10/23. This is a warranty repair.
This morning, visited a local dealer to purchase a piece of equipment. He has nothing to sell that would work for me and has been told by the company not to attempt to order anything until after November 1.
Luckily, I am retired and piddling around the farm... I can only imagine what folks in business are having to deal with...

A good long-term solution is to quit buying cheap crap from China. But, I know neither the D's or R's will be for that. Our government loves them some China.
Our government does love them some China, but our citizens love them some Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, and Amazon even more. these companies have systematically gone about eliminating any independent retailers, because people are too stupid to understand that by supporting them, rather than paying a little more to independent sources, they are cutting their own throats.

And it creates a chain reaction. You'll start to have producers impacted by the supply chain which will impact their ability to supply. Then, someone they supply will be impacted and THEY won't be able to supply and so on.
Good old Smith's invisible hand is awesome when allowed to work unmolested, but, it works JUST as efficiently at magnifying frick ups too!

Of course nothing is being done. It’s part of the plan. Get as many dependent on government as possible. The WEF has partnered with global elites in implementing the great reset. It’s literally being done right in front of our face. Look into the WEF and you’ll get the all the answers as to why we’re in this state.

Ok... are they buying a bunch of cheap shite from China in Rwanda?
It’s the other way around, man. People in China aren’t starving on mass. The reason for that is they’re stealing food from Rwanda making this even worst. I heard it from their own mouths and from CCTV that Africa is merely an insurance policy from hell to make sure China never suffers from another Great Leap Forward. Between these two, tens of thousands have likely starved to death in Rwanda over the past year and a half.
