Alright GA community, I've heard it said in regards to Covid, jab mandates and general government overreach world wide, that things will get worse before they get better. To me, this comes across as a vague platitude that offers very little in the way of real help. It's already looking pretty grim in many parts of the world. Australia and New Zealand look to be experiencing the hardest treatment from their governments, but in other places many people are being forced by their jobs to get the jab or lose their job.
All that said, I want to challenge this community and ask: How specifically will things get worse? Who do you think will be most affected by things? How would one prepare? Do you have an opinion of what will be the turning point for things to get better? Open discussion, please share your thoughts and opinions. I don't want this to be a doomer thread. Just share what you think people could realistically expect to experience over the next few months or years. I'm genuinely interested to hear what you have to say. How bad will things get before they start getting better?
EDIT: Let's keep this based on Q posts as much as possible. I'm actually fairly new to Q and have watched a lot of the videos provided by the GA mods, but still researching a lot and learning from you all. I've been with the MAGA movement since 2016 back when The_Donald was on Reddit. I started coming over here to GA back in January after the 'Inauguration'. You all provided a lot of hope when it all seemed lost.
I work in Supply Chain, and you're right about disruptions. My company employed more than 100k truckers in 2018, now we are down to 35k and we pay more than anyone else in the industry by far because our CEO is a former trucker.
We have weekly meetings where we basically have to decide what gets shipped where and triage what is most important. There are mass amounts of food just rotting in shipping containers all over the country. There's medicine and soft goods just gathering dust in the Port of Los Angeles and South Florida.
We were prioritizing gas heavily, but food is quickly starting to take over in importance due to the spoilage, which means gas prices are about to go up A LOT. Like 1-2 bucks a gallon in the next 45 days or so.
Our company doesn't do it, but I know other companies have government advisers who help with the triage stuff, we stay independent and work with our customers - the stores and shops - and let them decide what is most important and take that into account.
If we do get that internet blackout when the 2nd red line is crossed, that's when things will quickly go south. Without that internet processing orders or allowing work to be done, much will come to a standstill until inernet is restored.
