I'm in supply chain dealing with the fukkery AMA; Update: Chip shortage until at least 2022

[Oatmeal]

A contact of mines who works at Tyson has basically said the supply chain is broken and that we’re basically moving on inertia at this point. Chicken, beef, pork all are about to rocket upwards in price..you already know my story on seafood. Restaurants already being priced out.

Yeah I am actually going to talk to one of these local beef ranchers and do a bulk buy I think. That and chicken. This was one of the hardest weeks of my life. It is out of control.

Might be a resurgence in people going out hunting.....but ammunition is expensive too

I'd be all for that. The deer problem in the northeast is unreal. We need a hardcore cull. I have a Mossberg but haven't shot it in a decade tbh. Only shoot my other guns.

That’s actually a good idea..might need to do that myself tbh.

I already knew about the chip shortage.

How much you making doing that job?

I used to do warehouse work back in the day, didn't know those little 10-12 dollar a hour jobs where that important.

No wonder they can't find work, they always go to agencies for help and no one stays...

What state you in OP? Dudes here talking 20 a hour Florida usually doesn't give that, much less for just warehouse help.

Me too I’ve had my share of warehouse jobs. They go to agencies cause it’s risk in hiring and cheaper to give an agency a couple of bucks to do all the administrative work. Not to mention the people they hire are normally looking for work, so it’s easier to fill the position.

I guess thats why Nvidia wants 1100 for a gpu

Firstly, amazing thread.
Second, yeah my video card right now is worth 780-2k depending on haggle

This is what happens when virtually all industries you the JIT inventory system because it's been ingrained into virtually every business everywhere to keep inventory as low as possible...

Terrible gun to hunt deer with

Heard about some company paying 6 million to get 5000 containers to port at LA from Shanghai. That’s unreal.

Our logistics coordinator stated you aren't getting a container out of Asia in short order unless you pay premium rates.

I just paid $1,500 to bring over two pallets from California LTL. Regular freight. Completely ridiculous.

Completely nuts.

a friend of mines said he just bought a cargo van to pick up pallets somewhere in upstate ny and sell them to warehouses in the BX and surround areas etc. is that even possible now with this going on? I think he said they were free too

It is and it is especially profitable if you can find steady clients and get pricing up front.
