Global Supply Chain Crisis 2021: Megathread - A cozy thread for watching the supply chain fall apart just in time for the holidays

Aren't pallets reusable in the US too? I know some will eventually break... but nails and wood isn't hard to make, and even a nigger should be able to fix it.

Cascade supply chain failures tend to do that. And we're about to hit the two worst parts of it - Holiday demand is already climbing. Articles are talking about it as if its just pure panic buying and ordering, but its pretty normal for retailers to be stocking up for christmas in october, and some retailers are ordering particularly hard early not because of panic buying, but because they didn't get enough halloween goods, and their shelves are already running thin. So they're putting out the christmas goods early, and need more of it early to fill the gaps.

If supply chains struggle too much here, it will raise a lot of concern among the normies. Its one thing when random grocery store item are short, its another when your struggling to find christmas dinner staples, christmas gifts of all breeds and not just "This seasons most popular toy", gas keeps climbing for your car and your heating bill, and nobody can get the parts to fix your vehicle heater. This will set a lot of people on edge.

And once we've made it through the holidays, Chinese new year hits and what production does come out of China basically craters for a while. Like punching your opponent in the throat after you've already laid them out on the mat. The people on edge from the holiday lacking will see things not getting any better over the Chinese new year when production craters in general. They're already on edge, paying attention to the shelves, thinking "Maybe it was just christmas, it'll be fine later". And when its not fine, they'll go from on edge to freaking out.

I wonder if this is a subtle ongoing cyberattack aimed at crashing our economy?

Nah the people in charge of Corporate America are just stupid entitled faggots who follow whatever the trade magazines tell them to do even if it is a shitty long term idea.

Edit :

They are very reusable and they can also be made of plastic. If a Pallet shortage becomes a problem then it is proof that the ability to actually solve a problem no longer exists in our corporate culture.

They could but they won't. I've never really understood why they don't send pallets back to the shipper for reuse since the trucks going back should be empty. For a while, people were actually taking discarded pallets and using them to make floors.

Sweet, I got two of them sitting in my garage.

Gentlemen, the bidding starts at 1,000 dollars.

all of the above aren't operational on Saturdays?

We really are ruled by people who could run out of sand in the Sahara.
Little tidbit about Italian logistics.
Most of our flour (a staple in most diets) is imported, usually from Khazakhistan as far as I remember, said flour sits in container ships in our ports for months and is then sold by local market chains (Usually COOP and SUPERCOOP which suck ass when it comes to product quality).
Same goes for a lot of fruit, vegetables and meat.
All imported despite having our own local production that can satisfy most if not all of our national needs.
Most of this is due to EU incentives aimed at destroying what we call the Filiera agroalimentare (The national food production).
Now Eurocucks would have you believe this is for our good and to prevent an economic crisis, in truth I believe they may be paid by lobbies wanting to import cheaper alternatives to local food.

We are a dead nigger nation and honestly we should just collapse.

The Common Agricultural Policy was ostensibly implemented to prevent food overproduction and ensure food price stability, to prevent farmers going bankrupt, but in reality it was implemented to protect French agriculture from competition, both from within the union and from outside of it.

I take them and cut the up and burn them. They're out on the side of the road all the time for the taking and they make good firewood. Nice and dry.

For us non aussies, what's a regular price? Cause 1.96 would be a dream in America.

It was that low--and even lower--for several months last year. Right now where I'm at it's finally breaking through the 3 dollar mark. Thank god for Joe Brandon, he's almost doubled gas prices in barely a year.

not quite indefinitely. unless perhaps frozen? i'd say an easy 3 months if you add fruit nuts or other bits to it. over 6 if just tallow and meat, but dont trust it after a year.

Hard tack however, that shit actually will outlast you, your children, and their children if kept sealed

Pretty sure it can last up to a year and maybe a little more, if it wasn't then Indians and fur traders wouldn't have been making it all the time and carrying it around in miserable heat and brutal cold and all sorts of rivers and swamps. I think you have to dry the fruit though to make it last longer though.

What are you normally? An onion?

Moisture is the enemy.

I just finished off a Mennonite farmers sausage that was dry cured and lasted three months in the fridge. I could have hung it up outside the fridge too but then my house would have smelled like salty meat. Wrapped in cheese cloth so it can breath, it would have lasted a lot longer (if it wasn't so damn delicious).

It's primarily the orthodox blocking it rather than actual economic block.

but nails and wood isn't hard to make,

How quickly do you think they could build a nail factory in the USA? Where would they even get the specialized machinery to punch them out? What do you think the lead time on industrial stuff like that is now?

All that low profit manufacturing has been gutted and the machines sent overseas. Even if there was the will to bring it back (there isn't), it would take years to spin up.

They do, they just don't send it to the Distribution Centers a company comes and picks up all the pallets through the week and takes them back to the manufacturers.

Nothing silly about it. The Chinese economy is starting to melt down and the US economy is going to follow. Not for financial reasons, but because if China stops producing Ball Besrings, Nails, Nuts, Bolts and Plastic the US won't be producing jack shit either because we outsourced all our critical inputs to China, because an American made Nail cost 3 cents but a Chinese made nail costs 1 cent. And if China goes down, there won't be any nails. For anyone.

For want of a nail...
