Commodity shortages

[InVOLuntary]

They're also stupid high on price. I just took a trip down to Atlanta and driving through Knoxville noticed most Pilots were a good bit higher than everyone else.

Same, Went to the beach in the motorhome week before last. Spent $750 on diesel and never touched the generator. Went around Atlanta via Rome GA and found the prices 20 to 30 cents cheaper away from the interstate.

30 week delivery now on a piece of equipment. This is unsustainable and getting worse. I am going to lose orders if our competitors are any better. Frankly my efforts are becoming a waste of time.

He detest Pilot. They run through $20,000 per week in fuel. His limit on his credit card is $25,000. He's trying to get it raised so his drivers can get fuel on the road.

Had to bump up our fuel card limits too. It's crazy.

Got my first call about fuel surcharges. "Gas is only $4 something why are you charging x for FS"? Well Mr. MBA if we put gas in our diesel trucks we will ruin them and diesel is between $5.15 and $5.65.

It's bad.

Making me fearful for my performance and income. If factories aren't delivering product I just dont know how they keep the factories operational, which means distributors will not invoice and have to cut personnel as well.
And if my company is not invoicing I dont get paid. Just a reason I was considering such a late life career change the last few months and turned down a couple weeks ago

This crap is a massive crisis across all manufacturing.

Gut feeling is we're going to see massive layoffs in a lot of sectors by this fall. Especially if the rumors of diesel shortages are true.

Funny how the markets all correct themselves.
When I started in this career after college in 1991, after a short time as a pipeline operator, I got my first gig as a parts person making $16K year with a like a $3K year-end performance bonus. I spoke with my Office manager and she said they were inundated with "overqualified" candidates during HWB recession.

Me suspects those clamoring for $15/hour will accept $10/hour before long. You get my drift.

30 weeks would be nice. Try 2 years (104 weeks) for semiconductor chips.

I'm awaiting a quote to get my roof re-shingled. I have a guy that I trust and he pretty much told me to hang on to my ass because shingle prices have doubled and labor has increased by 1.5 times.

This globalization supply chain that Trump warned about is becoming a nightmare.
DC is whistling Dixie, just like on inflation that us peons saw a year ago. They are always the last to know or recognize.
And the politicalization of the Fed Reserve is like a cherry on top.

I went to a lumber mill today...gosh what a long ass day and drive. Last year they installed a new $100M saw...not sure I ever heard such a thing and did not go in the building.
I asked about lumber prices and he said they were going down. Rather surprised, but think a reflection of new home building is plummeting.

I'm petty sure that we're heading for a recession. I might just wait until the economy takes a total dump to get my roof replaced.

Baby formula shortage. Bill Gates investing in artificial breast milk that’s made in a lab. Yet another coincidence I guess?

I hope not but I think youre correct. Ive been looking at switching jobs, but my family has talked me out of it twice already. What I do now is relatively safe and they want me to wait 2 years for this clown show to get out of office ;because, none of us trust him as far as we can throw him. We are all kinda predicting that this winter is gonna be rough.

It will spell doom for democrats in the midterms. No way they recover from a mass layoff.

 

[Godfatha]

Nobody has any clue what the are talking about. They are spitting into the wind.

when this russian cluster is dealt with. The economy will be in position to launch. We will be paying down trumps dept. We will have a strong need to hire, and supply chains issues will be redistributed. Many of the domestic terrorists are being dealt with and will slink back to where they came from. There is a big ole sun at the end of this tunnel.

Keep on believing brother

Yeah the 2022 toilet paper shortage will be nothing like the run on food once it gets scarce because of man made problems.

I agree, Any big expenditure if not totally necessary is not wise.
Think about financing some luxury item like a boat, or even a massively overpriced home. They lose their job, and bam, like 2008 on steroids. Gov assistance will be non existent.

Had to bump up our fuel card limits too. It's crazy.

Got my first call about fuel surcharges. "Gas is only $4 something why are you charging x for FS"? Well Mr. MBA if we put gas in our diesel trucks we will ruin them and diesel is between $5.15 and $5.65.
