spending most of my career in manufacturing. I realized what JIT was. It is just a method to force your supplier to stock pile and hold your inventory with no cost to you !
Because THE PLANdemic.
Of corse it’s not the virus it’s all government is ripping USA apart. No one wants to work with that crazy ass giving them money to not work. Can’t anyone see that.
Empty containers are not sent back. They are shredded then shipped back. Every major port in the UK shreds containers then ships them back in, containers!
These are engendered shortages', like the virus.
I would submit that American businesses shipping manufacturing overseas to get super cheap labor from China is also a contributing factor. Our own problems with overseas shipping are a non factor or at least a reduced factor if the manufacturing was done at a regional level. Globalization and overextended supply chains are easily disrupted by any number of factors and less resilient than local supply chains. America has, however, in the last 40 years basically sold itself into dependence on foreign entities by supplanting it's once great manufacturing industry.
I moved away from Anchorage a few years ago but now I wish I had stayed and rented my car out haha
Supply and demand are not the sole controllers of commodity price and availability. The production process itself, fears, speculations, corporate decision and government rules all have a say.
The useless dance pertinently crash because north america clasically save amid a clever detective. eminent, lumpy harbor
It's not Covid it's the plandemic!!!
Alternate title – Late Stage Capitalism: An Explanation
So the pandemic just exposed all the shortages that were already there. Makes sense.
All those SOBS doing home projects while "working from home" sucking lumber dry and home speculators causing bidding wars in commodities
Most companies have rot at the top. It's easy to pull the wool over their eyes with false lean production. There's an entire economy of consultants that thrive on this. CEO's don't understand their own companies anymore, they are so far removed. Let alone shareholders. But they sure can extract profit for themselves.
Tesla are struggling in the uk. They only sell the model 3 here! All down to a lack of semiconductors
Toyota is championed in this video as not phased by shortages……. Then why are there only 5 new Toyota’s on my local dealers lot? They are phased by something.
This was a great video and more informative than expected
the blame is also: "Just in Time Inventory". Forty years ago, every manufacturer would have a warehouse "out back" with extra goodies to complete assembly. Now we all rely on worldwide parts procurement -so everyone has to open up around the world first, before normal rates of assembly can resume.
Probably the best explanation of this bs thats going on and why i had to pay $75 for a sheet of plywood.
THEY are pushing electric letting the gas motors die out
Yeah, covid is hardly a factor in these shortages. The real reason without kidding ourselfs is…….
Since Obama, we have created a mass of sociaty that is extremely entitled and better than everyone else. As a child, we think that the world rotates around us. In adulthood we find out that it in fact does not. At least we'er supposed to. Now through the help of our supposed leaders and social media, we are made to believe that we deserve more. We should be given more. We demand more. We are tought to believe that our horrible positions in life are of no fault of our own. We work just as hard as the next person. We do all of the right things yet our outcomes are vastly different. We've had enough and we will no longer stand for it. I am better than a fast food worker. I am better than a factory worker, a truck driver, a construction worker, plumber etc….. I deserve a 6 figure salary in an office over looking the city or better yet work from home where I can create my own hours and travel to exotic locations every other week…… Am I right? Well guess what. No you don't deserve any of that. Your a worthless suck on society. You expect and expect but are unwilling to do the things that lead to that level of success. Now were left with whole bags of potatoes walking around expecting to be treated like kings. You refuse to enter into careers that can be extremely lucrative just because it doesn't pay 6 figure a now. You expect to live at 23 like your parents live now but don't recognize that it took them 30 years to get there. Now we don't have new employees filling the logistics jobs. We don't have new masonry apprentices. We don't have new loggers etc. We have pallets of goods sitting in where house floors but not enough CDL drivers to move them. We have a literal logistics clog but none to backfill the jobs needed to clear it. You all asked for handout and you got them. You got multiple stimulus, you got eviction protection so you stopped paying rent, you got unemployment extentions and increased benefits etc. Why would you go back to work? It's not worth it right? The ones that did work said f it, I want on that train too and quit. What's worse is this is the exact outcome you would see under socialism but still you scream for it. You think that if you jump on the train, you deserve it for whatever justifications you find convenient. I've heard the argument that "I'm only one person, I won't take enough to be a factor, it a OK". The problem with that is that millions more think the same way. Now it is a problem. Let's face it, your want for socialism has jack squat to do with your virtuous signaling of a fair and just, equal society and much more to do with the fact that you think under socialism, you don't have to contribute anymore. You don't have to work. You don't have to struggle. After all, you as an individual taking from the efforts of others won't be enough to screw it all up. Right? Stop relying on other people to take care of you and go back to work. You suck
Just days into June and were seeing this video hasn't aged well. Every Toyota dealer has the same problem as every other dealer. Not enough inventory cause not many semi-conductor/chips. I wasted part of my life watching this and nothing in it telling me anything I don't know already.
It's all part of a very sinister agenda
Can anyone tell me in a few words what he's trying to say, I'm street smart not too good with talkers.
Wrong the ships doc in San Pedro, not Long Beach. Scoffs
GREED more like.
this was the less insight rich and the more hypothetical wendover video that i've seen to date
Prions cause mad cow disease, kuru, zombie deer disease & others; scientists think prions cause Alzheimer's & Parkinson's through surgical instruments! There are at least six avid hunters in New Brunswick, Canada who've eaten deer, elk and moose meat they've harvested, and are now infected with encephalitis very similar to mad cow disease!! They are DYING slow, painful deaths from this!!
Prions are not killed by heat from autoclaves; I believe that's why many hospitals have recently begun using throwaway ones, not reusable ones!
Be careful, folks! Remember a few years ago, when wild boar got into a field of spinach near Chualar, California (just south of Salinas); dozens were infected with e-coli, a few died? How? Why? Feces from those boar!
How are prions spread? From deer, elk and moose urinating on grass or plants, then other animals eat that grass or plant. What if: they urinate on berries, mushrooms, truffles and other plants we harvest from the wild, eat them and ingest and infect themselves with prionic diseases!??! What imf the predators who eat these infected animals are then infected themselves? We could have bear, wolves, coyotes, big cats infected – even our dogs or cats could get it, from eating a carcass in the wild! Then what? They piss on the grass, we step in it and cross-contaminate our homes??
We'd better be very, very careful!
