I am missing something....
At the height of the C-19 pandemic it wasn't this screwed up.
Now we have 48.4% of the worlds population (6.82 billion) VAX'd.

But...Suddenly now we have food, gas, and etc. worldwide shortages?

Aside from panic buying like T.P. and bacon... why now and not then?

BTW: Gas 87 octane up $0.40 in 1 month. as we hit $3.30 a gal yesterday here in Mid East Ga.

#3 FYI, the average daily milk production per normal dairy cow (milked twice daily) is around 7-8 gallons (56-64 lbs.). 4-5 gallons milked once a day.

30 gallons of raw milk per day for 70 head is a bit weak.

~1/2 a gallon per head is wrong. Somebody didn't do their math, the numbers weren't transposed correctly, her cattle are on starvation feed, or she's only milking 6-8 of them once daily.

#4 Why? Partially the accumulated insults to the system are reaching a tipping point. Partially because President Biden’s administration has made every wrong choice possible.

President Trump could have this turned around in six months, fighting rear guard lawsuits from the Democrats the entire time.

#5 The economy is delicate. Little changes (what Trump was limited to accomplishing) can do much good. OTOH, it seems Bidet has the reverse Midas touch, he can turn anything to sh*t. Part of the whole "Who's really running things?" nature of the Bidet misministration is that the people actually implementing all the bad policy are anonymous, so they won't pay a price down the road.

#6 It's not just Biden. He's just a foolish figurehead who is finally realising his lifelong dream of being POTUS - whatever the cost.

#7 The actual source of the 'supply chain' problems is that no one operating a business on their own dime is going to risk anything while these twits are in the change all the rules mode. Operators will quietly limp along and try not to draw any attention.

#8 Biological milk generation units (cows) don't understand supply chain issues. That's why there's dumping.
