Why everyone's shelves will be empty for the foreseeable future.

Hmmmm .....
I was "stocked" pre Y2K.
(I haven't even bought t-paper for 10+ months, but have supplied a couple neighbors when they ran out)

Hi IRG - I take it though that those of us who have orders with you will receive the items purchased? I ordered mags in early June. They're set aside and awaiting export right? Or can I look forward to "order cannot be fulfilled."?

if the shelves are empty, you go out of business.

Try finding some exercise equipment too. It's non-existent!

UTV's & ATV's are flying out the dealers doors in BC and Alberta, some dealers are sold out.

The local Toyota dealership here will soon be out of Tundra's, Tacoma's and 4-Runners, rec vehicles and some brands of new vehicles are disappearing.

It's almost impossible to find a pre-owned ATV or UTV in nice shape for sale.

This Bat-Virus has made people batty!..... Better stock up on everything....

Seems like everything is a "panic" nowadays.

- Will there be uprising in the USA? Will China then Occupy Taiwan
or
- Will there be an uprising in China via military coup, result Chaos and global supply shortage of goods
or
- Will the markets collapse leading to the launch of a National Digital Currency
or
- Will the Lizard people rise up from cracks in the earth after global earth quakes and enslave the population

Lizard people. I've said it before.

I, for one, welcome our new scaly overlords.

I'm pleased to hear that keltec was able to fullfill supply shortages for the healthcare/safety equipment industry at the cost of making some pretty awesome firearms (let's see who gets *triggered^ with this). Though I'd really, really like a CP33, maybe we can get those classified as a disinefectant?

Either way, the shortages coming are predictable and credible. Though pre-covid, it seems that the free market was able to replenish within a year or so. The questions most of us have is whether we have enough at home already for our sporting and hunting needs before those stocks get shored up.

Nasty marketing??? You can't even get a oil pan gasket at your local speed shop. This is not a marketing ploy it's a fact check on what lies ahead.

A friend of mine has to replace a bearing. Normally a call to a Toyota dealer or other parts stores that carry genuine parts, the turn around time is probably a day or two. She has to wait a week.

This will pass. Factories are still running. Oil is being pumped. Ore mined. Vaccines developed.

Buy items when times are good. Buy assets when blood is on the trading floor.
