I’ve had near zero disruption in my personal life and minimal in business. I see what everyone else sees. If the supplier of a product has low skilled (paying) jobs, they can not get staffed to get their product out. When they have better paying jobs they typically never missed a step. Basically we can get big ticket industry items like big electric motors, but we may run out of office supplies, etc.
In my personal life the ding dongs at fast food places have always pissed me off, so I’m not sure I can tell the difference.

I make my living selling high-end AGM batteries for solar, RV/marine/aircraft, and industrial applications.
The primary manufacturer that I work with is located in Southern California. Covid has really messed up their production schedules due to employees who want to stay home, shutdown/quaratines, and raw material supply chain delays. Even with two shifts, they are running around 50% production capacity. Add to that, an increasing demand, and the results are some angry OEM customers because they can't ship their product.
Any new large order sent into production has a 12-14 week lead time when it used to be 2 weeks.
Yeah, some of the delays are real and not just incompetence.
Marc Marc, all you have to do is tell yourself Covid is a conspiracy and a scam and your orders will start showing up normally. I know that for a fact because I read it on this thread

Hey Thumper.....
Your rant about covid excuses is also due to covid.
Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.

I know that for a fact because I read it on this thread Oh the delays are real, they’re just not from Covid. They’re from global and federal mandates plus cash handouts. This started with only essential workers working. You would think the mortality rate from Covid would be higher in said essential workers, I have saw any statistics but I would guess it’s actually lower than the non essentials. No, this isn’t Covid to blame, it’s the government.

If this theory is correct CAT and Dodge have low skilled jobs because I can’t get a new truck or my new equipment built. Maybe true but I’m personally not buying into this idea. We’re having issues from across the board.

We’re having issues from across the board. Dodge is building the bell out of trucks, they just can’t get a part from another supplier. At least that’s the case with Ford. Trucks are sitting waiting on parts from their suppliers. Hell, idk, it’s just a theory.

There are a lot of people that are dropping out of the work force, not because of the government benefits, as most have expired. But they have found that working for minimum wage is mostly defeated by paying for transportation and child care. Why work if the dollars go to transportation and the babysitter???

I hear you dude! I’ve been trying to spend $20,000.00 the last few days and no one has the item I want, they all say “due to COVID, production is behind” I can’t believe there’s this many people buying this scamdemic chit. Tin foil hat all you want but even if covid is a conspiracy then the conspiracy is still at fault for things like that. Companies are having problems getting parts and supplies in in all industries. Do you think if they started believing it was a scam then their supply chain would just start working normally? No I don’t. It should’ve never got to this point is what I’m trying to say. That’s not tin foil, smartazz, that’s reality.

What he's saying is the problem shouldn't have gotten to this point at all, hoax or not. It is possible for people to over-react to something that is real.
