Yeah but prices are through the roof. So still kind of glad we had more than enough lolI don't think it's an actual, like, "pepper shortage". They just can't freakin' keep up with stocking their shelves. Been a problem since before covid.

When covid started I had the wife buy extra sets of shoes for us both.I saw some head honcho for a national shoe store chain talking about their problems getting shoes. It seems he had a number of containers on one ship that sat in the ocean hot damp air for an extra 100 days. Once the shoes got to the main warehouse, the boxes were wet and the shoes were moldy. The whole order had to be destroyed. Clothes would be subject to that kind of loss. Not to mention, all the loading, trucking, warehouse and other handling is all wasted.
Local news just did a story that furnace parts are in short supply.

We are working the few guys we have to death on parts that we normally just import.
All the things you mentioned are a by product of the fiat US dollar being the world's reserve currency. Economist Robert Triffin wrote about it in the 1950-60s. The Triffin Dilemma.Closing manufacturing in America and shipping it overseas, putting people out of work so the company can make a few percentage points more on the bottom line...
Everything being made in china has finally come home to roost.

The Word demands dollars for trade. The US supplies said dollars and can run trade deficits because we trade newly created dollars for actual goods and services. the demand for dollars increases the price for dollars. This means that US citizens live an outsized lifestyle because they live and work under a dollar denominated system.
Imported goods seem relatively cheap. Domestically made goods become relatively expensive. manufacturing necessarily moves off shore or else goes bankrupt. It has zero to do with American workers or businesses and everything to do with the dollar as reserve currency.
That status will end at some point and standard of living in the USA will collapse. But manufacturing and other jobs will return as will all those trillions of dollars that were created driving inflation to heights never seen before in the USA. It's going to be bad but we don't know when.
Looks like I may have picked a good time to cut back on carbs.Bread next?
The apocalypse is near! Food production collapse! Soaring wheat prices from the U.S. to Russia are raising bread costs - Strange Sounds
Wheat prices are surging from the U.S. to Russia, hitting a record in Europe and raising bread costs all over the world. And there may not be much relief soon.
