A grocery chain says it's receiving just 40% of the items it orders from suppliers, and is making its own version of Lunchables because it can't get hold of the real thing
Rouses Markets can't get enough Lunchables - Kraft Heinz's cracker, cheese, and meat snack - so it's created its own version, its CEO told the WSJ.

Thanks Blimey.. More conformation things could get dicey...A grocery chain says it's receiving just 40% of the items it orders from suppliers, and is making its own version of Lunchables because it can't get hold of the real thing

Huge fan of Nate and his videos. He is correct far more than wrong. He makes well thought out and researched videos.
I have learned a lot from him.
He is spot on in regards to this video.
America is getting ready for a serious hurt at the stores.

Folks I was in walmart in Geneseo . While certain aisles were fully stocked others were lacking in a quantity of certain items. Many of their meat products were lacking . Hardly any bacon .. Frozen foods empty of many products .Stouffer food almost empty. Now I do realize SUNY Geneseo has just started and their items could be in high demand this week. . Not trying to be a chicken little ... Just a bit of an observation while out and about. ... Toilet paper and paper towel section were full... (some folks still have a 10 year supply me thinks)

The vast majority of people either cannot do this, or they have no clue what you mean!

Between inflation and this happening, the GOP should have a landslide in the next few elections. (Afghanistan aside even). Literally the only thing they have to do is point at Biden's failed leadership to do anything but print money while the country declines.

Liberals not only are good at printing money.. They are good at printing ballots also..
We have gone past party at this time.
The wheels are in motion and quickly picking up speed.
This is not about party
This is a good thread. Definitely pay attention to what is going on.

Canadian Preppers vids are great and he doesn’t BS just to create hysteria and drive sales. This is legit. The retailers will find whatever ways they can to dive deeper into our pockets to profit and recover COVID losses.

These are not normal times folks.. We have shortages in many things. Look at a company that has a large fleet or even a small fleet. Some parts are hard to get... Some trucks are parked for the duration. It slows everything in the supply chain. One can have a warehouse full of products and not enough trucks on the road to fill orders. Everything snowballs... We are dealing with a logistical nightmare .... One industry has production curtailed because another cannot deliver. ... And prices rise...

The things that are currently out of stock/backordered are beyond concerning. I have some orders open for VFD's, PLC's, etc., that were placed weeks ago, and today's update puts most of it out anywhere from mid-Nov to mid-Jan. These parts usually ship in a day or so.
Factories need this stuff to run. Pretty much every factory. I wouldn't be surprised if the government steps in to pick the winners and losers.

So I saw an alert on another website from a guy who claims to work for an electric utility company.
You can guess where this is going.....
The "anyonomus insider" stated that his utility company has a remarkably low amount of replacement parts, transformers, etc available on hand right now and that it's EXTREMELY difficult and takes way longer than usual to get replacements. The guy was worried that if they suddenly lost an unusual high amount of transformers there might be widespread power outages measured in weeks or months.
It's very concerning and entirely believable. Think of the entire supply chain. Everything from truck engine water pumps to vehicle semiconductor chips are in short supply so why would we expect electrical transformer equipment to be any different. Just because no one is talking about it doesn't mean it's not a problem.
Anything that is complex and requires multiple parts from multiple manufacturers or cross ocean transit for completion is affected by these supply chain issues. I honestly can't believe more people aren't concerned about this. Quite frankly i find that shocking that no one (besides us fringe paranoid whacko prepper gun clingers) are concerned with. People need to comprehend how F'd the supply chain is right now and in many industries for many different reasons. It's far and away the worst I've seen.

Seeing as how the vast majority of parts in our electrical grid were purchased from the cheapest supplier, China, this is absolutely plausible. In fact, Trump signed an executive order banning the further purchase and use of electrical grid parts from a lengthy list of our adversaries. Hopefully, it’s not too late.

I am working on a project in Asia, that is waiting on equipment from Australia. Australian company just contacted us to help them source some of the parts they need to finish THEIR equipment or the entire project goes to shit.
Seems the whole world is feeling the pain at least. Just think of the cascading effect this will have. What industry or factory or business is the most essential? I bet the government will know the answer to that one. I'm sure they won't pick the vaccine over utility infrastructure or food manufacturing.
I called my Ford dealer about an antifreeze leak in my 2015 truck, he said he couldn't get me in until the middle of the following week. I dropped the truck off on the day of my service, they took it in and called me later in the day to let me know it was the water pump. They didn't have 1, and checked across the country, and found only 2 available. They sourced 1, but it still took 4 days for the to receive it. needless to say I was without my truck for a couple of weeks. Not a big deal because I have another vehicle, but, it sure seems like I am hearing quite a bit of stories like this coming out!!

The first part I'm worried about is when your pump manufacturer can't get the materials or equipment they need to make more pumps because trucking is down due to, ironically, not being able to get pumps.
The second part is the government nationalizing everything through EO or emergency powers to 'fix' the problem.
Lol that's why I mentioned water pumps a few posts up as an example. The shortages are very real. They are beginning to cause cascading effects

Ever since Dr Kathy retired the place has gone down the toilet. ( as a side note: Dr Kathy, at about 60 years old, is smoking hot. 5'3" or 4", 120lbs and rock solid, runs a could marathons a year, and absolutely brilliant)

A major problem is shortage of labor. Which, exacerbates a shortage of everything else. Work output and capacity, appointments, scheduling, capacity, operating hours etc..
What's going on now should be a case study in supply chain masters and doctorate programs 10 years from now if we're still around.

The Ministry of Plenty will begin through a "congression supply chain oversight committee".
