WARNING: Supply Chain Problems Indicate HUGE Shortages About To Hit US
You may be aware that the pandemic reduced handling capacity at many Chinese ports by as much as 80% as recently as a few weeks ago. This has led to a massive log jam with container ships stranded at sea unable to drop off or pick up cargo. This in turn has led to massive delays at US ports and hubs. Goods are being delayed for stores. Manufacturers are unable to source parts. Technologies that require assembly of parts sourced from around the world are just not able to produce and deliver goods.
It’s so bad that some
companies are buying their own container ships to get around the problem. In
the USA the longshoremen in California are preparing to strike as they know
that their demands are very likely to be met as the country looks at huge shortages.
Chicago rail depots are overflowing.
The UK is already predicting a massive shortage of goods from
beyond its shores. The domestic politics are blaming it on Brexit, but those in
the know recognize that this is a foretaste of what’s about to happen in the
US. As we have been saying for months, US companies need to bring back US
operations and reshore or onshore their manufacturing and assembly plants. It’s
now too late for most of them to do this, but we need to prepare to pay more
for our goods as we trade off reliable supply for US wages.
Added to the pandemic-induced problems, the ships awaiting entry
to Chinese ports were just subjected to the typhoon In-Fa, and towns and cities
in the predominantly manufacturing areas were flooded in fluke heavy rains.
OUR
ADVICE
Head to your local big box store. Start prepping for items you
need a lot of: pet food, paper goods, cleaning supplies, batteries, etc. Throw
in some canned foods. Planning a DIY project – get the paint now. Kiss lumber
goodbye – it’s already to late for that. Got a car that keeps breaking down?
Buy spares now? TVs, electronics on your list for Christmas? Get them now while
they are in-store. Christmas knick-knacks and tchotchkes? Get them now.
Here are the Top Ten
imports from China. Work it out for yourself.
If you are on Twitter follow Huntsman @man_integrated. He is an expert in China supply economics. He warned months
ago that orders for Christmas were already too late. Now he is fears a major
collapse in the supply chain, citing recent events such as John Deere
instructing dealerships only to order parts if they were sold. Imagine the
shitshow this will cause at harvest when farmers go to get parts and there
isn’t any inventory. Our other trade partners such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and
India are also experiencing incredibly tight ocean and air freight capacity.
This is going to get worse, much worse before it gets better. Prep now. Prep
hard. The Administration is not up to the task of solving this. We saw how
hopeless they are with COVID; much more interested in settling old scores and
promoting CRT. We will be on our own.

Almost every prepper makes several food storage mistakes at the
beginning. It's hard not to. Even experienced preppers still make mistakes
every now and then. That's why I thought a post on food storage mistakes would
be a good reminder for everyone.
Here's what I came up with. Note: These are not in order of
importance.

experiencing excessive heat waves! And even though the hot days of summer are

While we all love to sip on cold herbal tea that’s brewed in the sunshine all
day, there are a few vital tasks that homesteaders should get done this summer
before the weather turns.

Most won't pay attention this; until it comes to whine.
You did warn us repeatedly about Biden. He's the worst prez since Carter...could screw up a wet dream.
Give Biden supporters enough rope & hopefully they'll hang themselves-they're national scourge.
