The COVID Pandemic and Food Stocks
- We are facing a perfect storm for our supply chain within the next month unless several things change dramatically.
- It's a smart move to order organic, cooked, freeze-dried chicken for long-term storage from Prepper Organics.
Most precious metals companies who sponsor "conservative" news outlets are donating to Democrats or working with proxies of the CCP
- Here's why
- First, farmers could not harvest their food or get it processed and ready to be delivered to stores.
- Then, the cost of fuel skyrocketed.- And now, we're facing a new challenge in what can only be described as a looming transportation collapse.
The diesel fuel shortage
- A shortage of diesel fuel is spreading across the United States, with one company launching an emergency delivery protocol, requesting a 72-hour advance notice from clients to be able to make the delivery.
- Fuel supplier Mansfield Energy wrote in a note to its clients that "conditions are rapidly devolving" and "at times, carriers are having to visit multiple terminals to find supply."
What is being done about this?
- The Fed has some tools to bolster diesel supply
- Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve
- Biden administration has tapped into the country's emergency oil reserves to counter rising gas prices
- Fuel export restrictions haven't been ruled out
- American Petroleum Institute and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers sent out a joint letter expressing their concerns
Potential rail strike
- The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division has rejected the deal offered last month, putting a strike back on the table.
- "Railroaders are discouraged and upset with working conditions and compensation and hold their employer in low regard. Railroaders do not feel valued," BMWED President Tony D. Cardwell said in a statement.
What would happen in the event of a rail strike?
- Companies should adapt their logistics models so that little disruption is felt by their customer base.
- If they don't, customers have no problem moving onto another brand that can- nearly 90% of customers will abandon an online retailer if they see poor delivery terms.
How do you prep for something like this?
- Consider the things you truly cannot get by without: medications, special foods necessary to your health, and any other essential item you must have, and focus your resources on these things.
- We are going to have to learn to live with different options at the store, making do, and doing without.
What are your thoughts on the supply chain?
- Do you think that we'll run out of diesel and that the railway strike will occur? How devastating do you believe it will be for our supply chain if these things do happen? How do you intend to prepare for this? And do you have any advice for others?
