I feel like something is definetly going on behind the scenes. In my industry we are experiencing big supply chain problems. Certain plastic fittings and pipe are hard to obtain. MAP gas for our torches is completely gone, all of a sudden the canisters have become unavailable. Backflow preventors (brass devices) are suddenly unavailable as of this week.
My theory is either A. The Xiden administration is engineering a collapse B. Military is taking over supply chains C. Alot of this stuff comes from China and they are cutting us out.
How about D - this is part of an effort to do what Peter Navarro has been pushing, decoupling from China. Short term it might be frustrating, but long term it is absolutely necessary.
We were already mostly uncoupled from China before Biden took office. Which is one reason why COVID came out when it did.
This.
