Can Joe save his Christmas nightmare? Biden will tell Walmart, FedEx and UPS to up their services and push LA's port to run 24/7 at White House meeting to try and prevent supply chain holiday catastrophe

President Joe Biden reached a deal on Wednesday with unions and business leaders from Walmart, FedEx, UPS and others to expand operations at one of the country's largest shipping ports in a bid to ease supply chain bottlenecks that are driving up consumer prices and emptying store shelves.

Once implemented the proposed changes could increase output by more than 3,500 shipping containers per week, White House officials said.

I think Q1 2022 is going to be a blood bath.

With the supply chains so F’d many businesses such as Best Buy etc wont have the required product to move them into the black during Q4. This is going to cause some businesses that are already cash strapped to either default on loans or have to take out additional loans.

Supposedly the silicon supply chains will not even be back to normal until Q3 of next year either.

If inflation continues to rise we are looking at Carter 2.0 for this administration and unfortunately I think China is in a position to gain ground on many hurt businesses.

Yep. Retail not making bank in Q4 is gonna sink them. Somebody woke up in the WH this week and read an article about it I’d guess with all the deflection and make believe action.

I wonder. If you look at Evergrande and the things it is bringing into question, you begin to wonder if China has basically built a shadow economy - one that looks real but is turning out false products as a means to keep people occupied. China is putting a lot into military spending, too. That makes you think in some ways China's economy is less stable than our own. Maybe another big question is who actually owns the products on all those ships without a place to go. Somebody has to be hurting financially for stuff sitting in limbo - hopefully for Chinese goods the Chinese are stuck until the goods are delivered.

A lot of the problem with chips really gets back to manufacturers who don't want to supply older chips that we need. For example, we use the same basic computers in cars that we've used for some time. They work, there's no need to go with newer chips further miniaturized for cellphones, and the existing car computers have been certified. Change stuff like that out because of "obsolescence" and you hurt all the manufacturers that produce products with long life spans and force them to re-qualify systems that work. That in turn changes life cycles for cars, probably aircraft, and a lot of other big ticket stuff. If a 2025 car is going to use the same engine management computer as a 2005 car, then you can replace it on an older car; change that and it really negatively affects a lot of end users - think Cuba without necessary repair items. If car manufacturers really believe that electric vehicles will take over fairly quickly, they have absolutely no reason to develop, test, and certify new engine control systems for the short term.

Well, I guess it’s rather fortunate that some of us lived through the 1970’s, remember how it was and for a while now have been taking steps in preparation for something that may be much worse in large part due to the reactions we’ll be seeing from all the clueless entitled idiots we now have in this country.

And folks have called the prepper community crazy for years. Whoops! 🤣
