Have you saw that store shelves are beginning to get emptier and emptier? During the panic going shopping that was sparked by the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020, there were really intense lacks of certain products, however those lacks did not last long at all. But now there are prevalent scarcities in just about every sector of our economy, and they are beginning to end up being quite uncomfortable. Unfortunately, we are being told to expect the shortages to intensify as we head into the holiday. That is extremely alarming, since in lots of areas the scarcities are currently rather severe.
I had been away from the news for a number of days, and when I returned there were lots more stories about our ongoing scarcities. For instance, the following comes from an excellent piece by Matt Stoller…
There are scarcities in everything from ocean shipping containers to chlorine tablets to railway capacity to black pipeline (the piping that houses wires inside buildings) to spicy chicken breasts to specialized plastic bags essential for making vaccines. Furthermore, costs for all sorts of items, from real estate to food, are changing in weird ways. Beef, for instance, is at near record highs for consumers, however cattle ranchers are earning money much less than they utilized to for their cows.
In my whole life, I have never ever seen anything like this.
Even the Federal Reserve is confessing that we have a significant problem at this moment. In reality, in the current Beige Reserve the Fed referred to the scarcities a whopping 80 times.
In certain parts of the country, these shortages are really starting to sting. A reader simply emailed me about what is going on in his section of Connecticut, and he stated that I might share this with all of you …
I am just a routine man in Connecticut, who has actually been seeing things extremely closely, particularly from a Biblical perspective. I wished to rapidly show you an experience my wife and I had about 2 weeks earlier at a medium-size, household run supermarket near Waterbury, CT.
. Relatively overnight, we saw there were little yellow signs on the racks, where certain SKUs utilized to be. Not whole lines, however individual SKUs. For example, a flavor of oatmeal, particular cereals, etc. The indications stated something to the result of: “This product is no longer readily available due to provide chain restraints”. I would state there were a couple of hundred check in overall throughout the store. It wasn’t until we got to the juice/water aisle that we saw the bigger problem: there was no Gatorade (?) and no mineral water (gallon jugs).
I have actually befriended the manager for many years, so I asked him where the water is, and he told me “… they only will provide us many bottles”. I asked who ‘they’ is, and he stated the maker: they were being allocated. As he said this, a truck motorist happened to stroll by and participated on the discussion. He told us that he simply got back from Maine, after a three-day trip- a trip that typically takes him a couple of hours. He said he, and all of the other truck chauffeurs, sit at the warehouses for days, awaiting their trucks to be filled. To be clear, I asked him the length of time it generally takes, and he said a few hours at the most.
On our way out, I bore in mind that we needed pet food, so we went to the pet aisle, and there was no feline litter, and no canine food, conserve a few little bags of the cheapest things. All of the important things Steve Quayle has actually been saying about food and water shortages all of a sudden became truth. I always thought him, but now I was seeing it, at the really local level.
We then decided to go to PetSmart to get the pet food. Empty. The entire dog food rack was empty other than for a couple of bags!
Are comparable things taking place in your part of the nation?
If so, please feel free to email me and let me understand.
We require to share intel with one another, since the mainstream media is not informing us the fact.
Naturally the shortages would not be as severe if we might really dump all of the container ships that are backlogged at our ports. Today, dozens of container ships are sitting along the west coast waiting to be unloaded…
The variety of container ships at anchor or drifting in San Pedro Bay off the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has blown through all previous records.
The most recent peak: There were an all-time-high 73 container ships in the queue in San Pedro Bay on Sunday, according to the Marine Exchange of Southern California (the tally inched back to 69 on Tuesday). Of the ships offshore Sunday, 36 were required to drift since anchorages were full.
In theory, the numbers– already surreally high– could go even higher than this. While designated anchorages are limited, the area for ships to safely drift offshore is not.
This is the very same issue that I spoke about recently.
At one time we had more able-bodied workers than we understood what to do with, but now there is a severe scarcity of workers all over the globe.
Sadly, it has gotten to a point where we don’t even have adequate individuals to drive our kids to school…
School districts around the country are having a hard time to fill thousands of bus driver positions as worker shortages cause late arrivals and last-minute scrambles to bring retired workers back onto payrolls.
The shortages are so bad in some places that districts are taking extraordinary steps to get kids to school as students go back to in-person classes this fall. Philadelphia’s school district will pay households $300 a month, or $3,000 for the year, to pull out of transport services and get their kids to school by themselves. Albemarle County Public Schools in Virginia is offering a $2,500 bonus to new drivers– $100 more than the school district in the county seat, Charlottesville, is using.
This is the worst labor scarcity that the U.S. has ever faced, and it simply keeps worsening.
So where did all the people go?
Without adequate able-bodied employees, our economy is experiencing an entire host of troubles right now. And when you consider whatever else that has been going on, it should not be a surprise that Joe Biden’s approval ranking just sunk to a brand-new record low…
Eight months after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, his task approval ranking has actually fallen 6 portion indicate 43%, the most affordable of his presidency. For the first time, a majority, 53%, now Biden’s performance.
These findings are from a Sept. 1-17 Gallup survey that was conducted after the U.S. military evacuated more than 120,000 people from Afghanistan. The United States’ exit from the country’s longest war was ruined by the Taliban’s quick takeover of most of the nation and a suicide battle at the airport in Kabul, which eliminated 13 U.S. service members. Over the exact same period, COVID-19 infection rates, nationally, were surging, leading to healthcare facility overflows in some areas.
And there are some parts of the nation where his approval ranking is absolutely dreadful. Just have a look at the latest numbers from Iowa…
Just 31% of Iowans authorized of how Joe Biden is handling his tasks as president while a massive 62% disapprove. Biden’s displeasure number is listed below the most affordable ever determined by ace pollster J. Ann Selzer for former presidents Donald Trump (35%) and Barack Obama (36%).
“This is a bad poll for Joe Biden, and it’s playing out in whatever that he touches today,” Selzer told the Des Moines Register.
Less than a year earlier, a great deal of Americans were seeing Biden as some sort of a “savior” figure.
That didn’t precisely work out, did it?
A number of us have actually been alerting that shortages and high levels of inflation were coming for a long time, but obviously the majority of the population is not interested in such warnings.
They simply want to be told that everything is going to be okay.
However the truth is that everything is not going to be fine, and the discomfort that we have actually experienced up until now is just the beginning.
