Shelf's at my place are ok. Bounced between my families farm and my place over the summer and worked a lot. Might not have a lot of the fancy stuff and mixing cleaning supplies on my own cleaning supplies using vinegar. Still worried because we have hit a point where the farm is losing more money then it's bringing in again. So the idea of selling it is on the table again. Still hoping for another couple spring and summers where I get to work my hands bloody before it's gone.

Also its kind of funny how both side of the political isle become tight lipped when the idea of a third industrial revolution comes up. A industrial revolution is focused about the US abandoning it's dependency on China and other countries to manufacture everything we need or want. Both sides are so quick to come up for justification for their side shooting this country in its foot or some convoluted way its the other sides fault. Despite the fact that the blame game gets none anywhere and never fixes the problem at hand.

This may actually be a great opportunity for us to reevaluate our values and seek the real meaning behind the entire holiday season...

Only supply issues that have really affected me is cat food and litter. My poor cat's stomach has gone through so much in the past few months because we can no longer get the food he originally had. Hopefully the one we've landed on doesn't end up with issues.

I'm gonna be happy to have eggs and bacon by Christmas Paris! I can't find the canned chicken and beef anywhere. Tuna and Salmon hard to come by too! Pork and Beef sections are pretty barren. People worrying about Christmas gifts this year are nuts. Just make sure I got food on the table damn it!

Kaneki05 · Answer

They've been mentioning food shortages all year round and that it is has happening next week and they say that every week. Yet i go food shopping every week and yeah no such thing happens.
Nothing has changed there. Not even when there was a so called toilet roll panic buying. Never happened here.

BCA6010 · Answer

Hasn't been bad yet... Prices on some things have definitely gone up due to freight charges though, especially on anything considered "seasonal." This area could be looking at roughly a 20-30% reduction in available inventory on some products in November-December, mostly due to not being able to get enough trucks and drivers.

Floppy2112 · Answer

Everybody is experiencing supply chain issues. It country-wide. Are you not paying attention? This has been going on all year.
Is it fixable? Absolutely. The decisions that need to be made are very accessible, simple and immediately implementable. Will these politicians make those very simple decisions, absolutely not. They like that emergency power and they do not want to let it go.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

In northeast Florida, gas prices have risen to around $3.30 per gallon (many thanks to all of those who voted for Biden; GREAT decision!) but our governor has kept our ports open and operating 24/7 and we have not seen severe shortages yet.

Middle-aged_maniac · Answer

In spades. Empty shelves abound. I watched a freight train pass by the other day filled to with about half of its capacity
At work all of our deadlines are being held up by supply problems Food prices are nothing short of insanity. So yes it's here too.

Mangospacho · Answer

The truth is these have been going on since March of last year. There is a global supply chain crisis that have been partially fixed just by raising prices here in the US. However, with the ports being backed up in Long Beach, this interrupting will be noticeable especially in the next 2-4 months since supply chain interruptions aren’t noticeable at the consumer level for weeks or months.
