Did you see the pictures of the back up of goods just sitting in Los Angeles harbor waiting to be unloaded?

I found one article here:  https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/09/27/photos-massive-cargo-ship-buildup-outside-l-a-long-beach-ports-as-imports-resume/

My current point of view...

Plenty of food seems to be made/grown in the U.S. right now.  Plenty available.  In fact, in some places there is an overabundance.  The big sticking point right now seems to be shipping, especially those who are trying to ship food overseas or out of the nation.  They have too much food to ship off elsewhere because shipping is so backed up.  If they can't preserve it and can't ship it, it stands a chance of rotting on the docks (or warehouses).

There ARE backups and vast delays on many things coming from overseas right now as well.  What items is the company using that takes from being shipped overseas if they are a U.S. based food company?

Or are they getting their preservation materials and machinery from China rather than US based companies?

Many of the delays and backups can be traced back to how eagerly we sent our industrialization over to China and now that there are delays with China and shipping from overseas, it's coming back to hurt us.

I read about it a little more. The consensus is either (1) manufactured shortage to control America, or (2) people are, because of Covid, going less places and ordering more things. One report I read said they are unloading containers faster than ever before, but it is just the sheer number of orders that is causing the back up. Additionally, the cargo tankers are being built bigger and bigger so it takes more time to unload each tanker.

Additionally, the cargo tankers are being built bigger and bigger so it takes more time to unload each tanker.

As I understand the ratio of goods (containers) coming to the USA as opposed to leaving the USA is about 10 to 1.  There is a gross trade  imbalance that effects the smooth flow of trade.  But there are so many concerns - the last time there was this kind of a trade imbalance with China it lead to war and the toppling of many nations and the introduction of a world wide drug cartel (during the 1700's and 1800's).  

I spent the last 4 decades of my working life as a automation and supply chain expert - during which I saw the minimizing of warehouse (storage) and the maximizing of just-in-time supply chain operations.   One of the major factors fueling just-in-time solutions was government taxing of inventories.   One of the project I worked on was the design and building of the army automated distribution center in Pennsylvania (near 3 mile island)  called the Easter Distribution Center.  This distribution center has become the primary distribution center for all military operations and contains a very large operation which is 40 archers under one roof.  

What is being left out of the news is that with the disruption of the supply chain that war supplies are in grave danger along with everything else.    There are some war ordinance supplies that are warehoused but most items stored are less than a month - food stored for the military is less than a week.  For all the problems this supply chain problem is causing the private sector I would have us all remember that this is effecting the security of our nation and our national defense.  

It is my opinion that as much as this has become a problem - that there is potential for a much worse problem.  The only organization that I know that has been stockpiling needed supplies is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  There is an exception with individuals (preppers) that have been stockpiling.   However, humanitarian efforts has depleted church storages.   

I suspect the next level in this chaos will be armed guards for distributions of goods - as scarcity of items become increasingly worse.  I honestly did not think that when supply chain operations became disrupted that the problems would become so wide spread so rapidly.   And that both political parties would be fiddling while "Rome" burned.    We will see as winter takes center stage - if shortages become more critical and live threatening.

The church has also been stockpiling ownership of operating farms for quite a while now.  

I've been wondering why, I truly hope this thread isn't the answer to that question.

Email that my stake president sent out to all eight wards this evening:

Thank you.

Ether 8:

24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this asecret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.

25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the afreedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who bbeguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath chardened the hearts of men that they have dmurdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.

IMHO this was a warning for our day. It never said how they were going to accomplish this "overthrow", just that it would happen. The words "awake to a sense of you awful situation" implies that by the time most church members recognize what is happening it will probably be too late. Those who don't believe that powerful men conspire should go back to watching their TVs because they are a hindrance to recognizing the problem. Nothing seems to be beyond their reach and power anymore - create pandemics, forcing vaccines, controlling banking for the rich, courts siding with unconstitutional laws, food supplies withheld, shipping suddenly being constrained, money being watched, governments falling apart. They are here, and they already run things and Jesus Christ is the only answer to their control. God bless the Saints in these latter days, they are going to get tough.

I have been hearing reports because of the unconstitutional president vaccine mandates that 30% of pilots may lose their jobs.  The effects may be with less pilots there will be less flights and shipment of goods.  The same thing may happen with truckers and trucks.  More shortages of goods may be in the future.  I hope they are wrong but I do not think so.

As the requirements to stay vaccinated with an infinite amount of constant jabs becomes tedious I think you will see more and more of the "currently vaccinated" begin to migrate to the "done with this" unvaccinated camp. Especially if they have a severe reaction to one of the shots.

After almost seventy or more years of pushing, the US still only has about a 50% vaccine rate for flu mainly among those who are at risk. Fervor tends to wane over time, and the vaccinistas who have heaped these mandates upon the people causing them to lose their freedoms and jobs may finally get their just reward from those they persecuted.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you there.  No matter how good of a case can be made, "ouch that hurt" sometimes just ends up winning the day.  Fortunately for us, the modus operandi for new viruses, is they get to mutating into less harmful and deadly forms over time.

My personal amount of "done with this" is directly tied to how many vaccinated people are overloading our hospitals and morgues with their COVID-related things.  Once I read this article, it dawned on me it's probably not happening anywhere, at least not in the US.

And at the end of the day, we're all descended from humans who survived the Spanish flu. It was a foregone conclusion from the beginning with 'rona that this story would eventually end up with a similar ending.  The only question was how much misery and despair and stuff we'd have to endure before it dropped off our radars.

Norway, Denmark, and Sweden have halted or restricted the vaccination of minors over reports of numerous dangerous side effects, particularly heart inflammation in teenage boys. 

Finland and Iceland are expected to do the same. 

This is on top of massive protests and walk-outs the world over as people refuse to get vaccinated and demand that governments lift mandates.

A response to situations such as this is to identify the companies involved and buy shares in them. That way you can personally benefit from all the disruption to come.
