Commodity shortages

[Rasputin_Vol]

So many shortages! List of major consumer goods affected by supply chain interruptions

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Rising commodities costs hit Americans at home and on road

Didn't see plastics like PVC on their list but that is happening as well

So much winning, thanks Joe!

I wonder where we will get the metal to repair the Memphis I-40 bridge???

One has to wonder if this trend continues if Biden/Harris will become Jimmy Carter 2.0., especially if the GOP has someone like DeSantis running.

From all the melted guns they confiscate

They are exceeding my expectations in the race to the bottom.

This was coming no matter what

For example, the chlorine is because of a fire last year

So you are saying a sitting president should not be blamed for everything negative? Seems like Trump was blamed for water being too wet.

They can use the 20% off coupon there though.

Where did in every claim that? The fact is blaming Biden for a fire that happened before the election even happened is pretty stupid

President Biden definitely needs to be more active managing the flow of goods in the economy. The market has failed.

What we need is for the government to seize the means of production. Surely they know best how to run the economy.

Was going to happen regardless of who was president. We've gone from an economy that was almost 100% shut down to "back to normal" in a year or so. There are supply chain bottlenecks everywhere.

Question will be does the higher inflation stay once the supply chain issues are sorted out. To a certain extent, I think it will.

Relax. Wasn't calling you out. Was more a shot in general about blaming a president for everything. Expected you would recognize my intent.

Nightmarish thought, but gas prices never fully went back down after 9/11 but Trump's energy independence policy was the best long-term pricing we had seen since then.

Energy independence was actually achieved under Obama. He had nothing to do with it, but it was achieved while he was president.

I think it has to remain to some degree. It's not necessarily a bad thing since it's the natural response to a hot economy. Finding that new equilibrium. I just hope that's the only thing the markets are responding to. I know I beat this dead horse all the time, but these debt levels make me think it's going to be hard to tame this inflation.

Market has been looking for a reason to go down for a while now, and it might finally have one.

The Fed is out of bullets to deal with inflation.

You really think he can manage ANYTHING?
