| #8 Australian truckers may go on strike. Be interesting to watch what happens. Don't imagine many US truckers are excited about getting the jab. |

| #5 Was at local Kroger Super Store for canning supplies, noticed low supplies in the areas I was shopping and labels on cans I had not seen before. Prices stupid high. |

| #3 ALSO If you have been watching the Food store shelves for certain items. You may have noticed a growing number of shortages in the last few weeks. BTW: In the past few months, we are finding 2nd tier food stores (Aldi's, Lilda's & Dollar Tree etc...) to have better supplies and prices than Wally World. Plus based on a wide difference in taste & package lot # data. It seems WW maybe using multiple alternative vendors for some items, in trying to acquire supplies. |

| #2 Isn't it interesting that 'blame' (according to the media and central planners) is generally placed upon the consumer, worker, and indolent citizen, never the oppressive government system ? |

| #1 Yes indeed. Rail traffic for two weeks was nonexistent from the West Coast to the east coast. The state to state truck traffic first of the month will halt also. Seems they want to mandate truckers show proof of vaccine jab. Sales reps say first of month price increases on all products. Make more money on the few things they are able to supply. Then they blame in every industry their problems are that people don't want to work. $25,000 sign on bonuses if they come to work but that doesn't even work. Some(trucking industry) offered $5,000; get the bonus,then move on to another company. |
