This is crazy indeed and will have huge effects on the whole world economy.
Make sure to keep tagging such posts with #EpsteinWar, as a reminder that the petro pedo has only started this war to move attention away from the #epstein files.
@cdfinder I should try to start doing that. I'll attempt to remember.

Personally I think it will be a good thing when the USA goes bankrupt and falls apart and not just for the world.Then the non-racist states can band together and create a better country
@Tijgertje1987 The biggest reason I _have not been_ a Cascadian separatist is because of what the neo-Confederate states would do with a free hand.
So be careful what you ask for, you might get it.
(Something called the Cascadian Subduction Zone is the other big reason. Look it up.)

True but well.
Still better then WW III, what that moron nearly caused by trying to invade Greenland -
Okay, if this is real, this is worse than I was expecting. I've been thinking about secondary outputs but I've been thinking way more about plastics, inks, other secondaries.
I have been worried about products shortages but maybe not enough. I am and have been assuming that there will be preferential distribution to corporations (which obviously includes most freight) and least preference given to individuals trying to do their own work themselves - e.g., like RAM over the last several months. But I haven't thought about the price side of that.
And holy shit it's gonna get fugly.
So, uh, yeah.
Maybe buy an ebike. Maybe make some plans.

I'd just prefer not to have to make that choice.

@marjolica Chain lubes aren't oil based. At least, not ones worth even a fraction of their price. (They exist but they're absolute shit tier.) Everything even halfway decent is some kind of wax-based.
But yes, I am stocked up even on that.

Petroleum based waxes?

Petroleum based waxes?
@SuperMoosie @marjolica Actually, good question! I've categorised waxes separately and mine are all biodegradable but I can't say they're not, I don't know the manufacturing process.

That reads fake to me, it's talking to franchisees like they're humans deserving of respect and information.
Does not seem corporate at all.

@eestileib At the same time, I'm seeing a variety of similar numbers of estimated supply shortfalls, including some people have appended in replies.
So if it's fake, it's using some numbers being quietly reported elsewhere - which makes being fake weirder.

Yeah I don't doubt that the crunch is coming mind you.
Maybe AutoZone is less shitty to work for than the typical company.

@eestileib Given how shitty _customers_ got after COVID, they're likely anticipating a similar shitty reaction and are putting on the "we're all in this together" routine.
After all, being good and nice in a memo isn't the same as actually being good and/or nice.

@Tijgertje1987 @moira
Lots of marginalized people live in "red-neck states" including a very large percentage of the Black population of this country. Must be fucking nice for you to imagine the world is split into good & bad areas, but here in the real world, it doesn't work that way.
