What kinda chip SHORTAGE?

Like computer chips? Graphics card? MICROPROCESSOR? Chips they put in keyboard synths?

What exactly?

Took me a few months to just get a Honda CR-V

Yea this chip shyt all fukked up.. i preordered an A5 back in July.. these fukks at Audi kept pushing the delivery date.. and then I saw that they are removing some features for the 2022’s… so I cancelled my shyt.. just copped a new 2021 IS 350 F Sport.. wasn’t going take any chances.. inventories are slim and dealers are not budging on prices.. got lucky and found what i wanted in fukkin Wisconsin.. had to fly out there and get it and drive 16 hrs back to the city

newer features being removed from new cars is def due to the chip shortage.
used cars have gone up at least 30% in the past year because of this.
one of the many unexpected consequences of covid.

Thanks for this thread. Just called my pops back in Mississippi, and told him about this and to start buying up extra canned goods, food, and other necessities while he’s out shopping.

This also could explain why I had a minor issue when trying to purchase a brand new customized Silverado. Dealer told me they might have an issue getting everything I wanted, and I wanted something within that same week, so I just got used.

I’m looking at getting a car myself my fellow Aggie Breh…… but I’m probably getting something used.

But it’s gonna stunt hard at GHOE

Well, there is this


However, I think while some foods may stock out I don't see it all going at once. The biggest problem I see is progressively higher prices and a "panic", especially at the holidays, if rumors start swirling stuff won't be available. Like a bank run at the grocery store which could last a few days or more.

This country is lucky we don't have to import too much food due to farmer subsidies but getting it from farm to table is going to be an increasing issue. As before I would keep 1-2 weeks worth of dry/canned goods at least. Not preparing for the apocalypse but giving yourself flexibility if stuff is only sporadically available.

At the end of the day though, this country would bring in the National Guard to run food plants before letting it get out of control. The elites don't want mass chaos (I hope).

This is the fukking shyt I’m talking about…prices are about to skyrocket and even bullshyt opilio crab ratcheting up.

the stores are starting to limit products and straight up dont have others....its going to be a rough holiday season out there.

auto manufacturers selling everything at sticker and above no negotiating....even when thigs go back to normal they can still artificially limit supply to keep prices high. Consumers are done for

just went to this restaurant that usually has alright crabcakes as an appetizer (131 MAIN), the crabcakes were smaller than usually and fried way harder. FORESHADOWING

You in Charlotte?

We have an exclusive contract with them…we provide them with their salmon, tuna and trout and sometimes swordfish. Our crab meat is too expensive for them so they get that from another competitor who’s like one dollar fukking cheaper.

Yeah a lot of these restaurants are either cutting back on the meat in the entrees, doing crafty stuff to hide the ratio or substituting for imitation crab meat which has been flying off the shelves from our warehouse for the past two months..if you’re going to Juicy Crab, Harbor Inn, etc here in Charlotte and getting seafood pasta or crab cakes, you’re probably getting that imitation crab meat served to you.
