#1 supply-driven inflation

Supply-driven inflation is the big lie, a mask for the actual problem. Supply and Demand is a good thing, it drives a free market. Government debt and borrowing cause the value of the dollar to fall. Costs go up (commonly referred to as inflation) as dollars are worth less.

If it's manufactured in Texas, Georgia, or Indiana, might take a week or two to get it (due to demand), but I doubt it will be "locked down."

If we make it here, we have some control over it. It it's made in China, the Communist Chinese control it. What am I missing ?

#3 One thing we can be sure of: central bankers will put their interests ahead of our own, and will make sure we feel the pain before they do.

After all, they're the important people in society. The rest of us are just deplorable.

#4 The masking mandate has caused most the current troubles. Local Rocket center has just announced they will no longer require vaccine to work there. Truck drivers on strike so freight currently not moving because of vaccine requirement.Day by day hospitals backing off vaccine requirements because of severe shortage of medical personnel. The drum beat of media continues the news of mass hysteria of the unwashed un-vaccinated. The public is simply ignoring them now. Regarding China I welcome that. Their quality control stinks and has for some time now. My dad years ago said we needed cottage industries in every city. What a difference that would make. The powers that be will never learn. Short term fixes as always.
