The entire just-in-time economy is crumbling like a sugar cube in tea. The fact that you can't buy green bananas anymore says it all. LOL. In the ten days it took me to redesign my cart to deal with the fact that Metal Supermarkets lies about their stock sizes, my cart went from $190 worth of metal to $370 worth of metal. People keep talking about how the lumber shortage is drawing to a close without recognizing that most of it is driven by wood borer beetles decimating Canadian forests due to climate change. Apples. At the local Kroger. Not on sale. No comment on the fact that these are ruined blems that would never have left the orchard under normal circumstances. It's what you got. Because if they didn't sell you these apples, they'd have no apples to sell.Labor shortage is real too, that’s going to be our mechanism for inflation because suddenly wages have become unstuck and labor has some negotiation power
