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.

I had to wait two months to get a bed I bought at Kane's Furniture because the frame was on back order.

I've had no issues like this, so this is all news to me.  I can still get pretty much whatever I want.

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.

I think the chicken shortage is bullshit. I have no problem getting chicken but the price is higher.

This is a very interesting topic.   This plus the going out to eat thread describe the aftermath of the government shutting things down unnecessarily.
