Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation

[PartyOf5]

It's hard to get out of something the people in charge are actively pursuing.

Honestly don’t understand how we get out of this clusterfuck. The elites are looting everything in plain sight.

All we can do is give them as little of our meager wages as possible, be as independent and self sufficient as we can.

I think there will be a reckoning though. We are entering food supply areas that we haven't seen since 2011, that's when the Arab Spring kicked off.

Bridge closed in Memphis crossing the Mississippi


Between this and the colonial pipeline, no good are going to be moving east -west through Dixieland.

Besides the bridge closure and increasing traffic jams in the area, the US Coast Guard closed a portion of the lower Mississippi River near the bridge. There are "16 vessels with a total of 229 barrages in the queue," the coast guard said in a statement.

That's a lot of goods that won't be making it to their destinations upriver.

I know they don't know when it'll be fixed but if you had to guess when would you say it'll be restored?

Heard this morning that the river is shut down over that bridge. 300+ barges stacked up.

SWAG: Minimum of 6 months, Max one year.

They have to source and fabricate a 900 foot long beam, stabilize the entire structure and replace the broken beam.
Likely they will find other issue with almost 2 mile long bridge.

That bridge carried 35,000 vehicles a day, 30% of them were trucks transporting goods. But the bigger issue for the supply chain is how soon we can get Mississippi barge traffic moving again.

Infrastructure is going to have to be put on hold, until we solve systemic racism.

LOL, yeah, my response there is confusing. I combined personal response with a larger response.

To Clarify
Personally we can't get out of this clusterfuck. The peak of the Progressive Century was Globalization, but their engineered world is failing, and we have to ride it out. To do that we individually need to be as independent of systems as possible, because these systems are failing.

The food system failures and shortages are going to cause civil unrest. The US is going to have it relatively good. However, lots of countries won't. My guess is it's going to lead to governmental changes that we haven't seen in a century when global monarchies were swept out and Progressive Democracies replaced them.

Well, if this bridge is racist, it definitely had it coming.
