Title: Supply chains Post by: Dave Gray on July 19, 2021, 08:21:09 pm Between COVID, that crashed ship in the Panama, and the Ice Storm, stuff is hard to get.
I've recently had problems finding certain coffee pods, bread mix, and I had to order a fridge on a 4 week back order when mine crapped out. Friend of a friend makes houses and has a problem selling completed units because he can't get appliances for the kitchen.

Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Tenshot13 on July 20, 2021, 07:47:17 am I've had no issues like this, so this is all news to me. I can still get pretty much whatever I want.

Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Dolphster on July 20, 2021, 07:52:48 am I try to distance myself from technology as much as possible, but I've heard a couple different news stories about there being a big chip shortage too.

Also a chicken wing shortage. Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Fau Teixeira on July 20, 2021, 08:04:47 am Also a chicken wing shortage. Wingstop is now also doing thighs, you can order on Thighstop on doordash. Seems legit.. Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Dolphster on July 20, 2021, 08:27:57 am Also a chicken wing shortage. That bothers me a lot more than the computer chip shortage. LOL Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Tenshot13 on July 20, 2021, 08:55:41 am I always got chicken wings whenever I wanted. Chick fil a sauce too.
Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Phishfan on July 20, 2021, 12:06:21 pm I think the chicken shortage is bullshit. I have no problem getting chicken but the price is higher.
Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Dolphster on July 20, 2021, 12:10:09 pm I think the chicken shortage is bullshit. Wouldn't that then be chickenshit as opposed to bullshit? ;D Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: Dave Gray on July 20, 2021, 12:11:58 pm Title: Re: Supply chains Post by: ArtieChokePhin on July 20, 2021, 12:39:45 pm This is a very interesting topic. This plus the going out to eat thread describe the aftermath of the government shutting things down unnecessarily.
