I run a business flipping houses and remodeling rental properties. I was talking to the owner of the electrical supply house in our county yesterday and he told me they sold the last 200 amp meter base they had in stock the day before. They were probably one of the last stores in Tennessee that had any in stock. You can't build a house without one.
He also told me our power company has been removing transformers that are feeding barns or workshops. They don't have any spares to fix broken transformers in residential areas so they are stealing them from places that affect the fewest people. They haven't received any new transformers in several months.
The areas affected by the tornados last week are calling utility companies everywhere trying to find transformers and poles to repair the damage but there are very many spares left. He said if that storm had hit our county, he didn't think we would have the parts to get the power turned back on any time soon.
Crazy times ahead.

As I college kid I knew Wild Bill Clinton was damaging America when he welcomed China into the WTO. I buy American every chance I get, and have never owned a foreign car and never will.
The return to American manufacturing will be very innovative and glorious. It will be a long struggle to return my industry here, but certainly attainable. Hopefully the millennials can learn from the experienced folk that used to run the industries and carry the torch onward.
As a college kid, I marveled at how all the MSM could talk about was Bill's saxophone and the Republicans trying to impeach him because he got a blow job.
Meanwhile, we knew he was taking money from the Chinese if we were paying attention.
"Just a blow job" angers me. It had nothing to do with that. It was the lying under oath that enraged the right.
Clinton got a slap on the wrist for a crime that ~ 200 people in the USA were in jail for at that time. The media all but gave the signal that lying is OK now if you're a Democrat.
If any normal person would have done what he did, they would have been in jail for at least 5 years. It was nice of the media to explain that.
It wasn't even about the lying under oath.
It was about burying the shady Whitewater real estate deal, and the $1,000 Hillary invested in cattle futures that magically turned into nearly $100,000 in under a year.

The blowie was a felony itself
at least he didn't have sex.
No. He saved that for the minors.
Also, I'm pretty sure Bill was blackmailed over that whole incident. That fucker and his cunt wife wanted to look squeaky clean. I have little doubt the prick would have done anything to prevent that story from coming out.
