pretty much anything I have to order here at the ranch is taking forever to arrive, now waiting on new truck rock rails from lund ordered via wal mart on the 6th, not shipped yet and probably not here till the 19th.
welcome to socialism 101, next class should start about aug or sept.
Building materials, one of my contractors has been waiting since November for brick in forty plus home.

worcestershire sauce
I ran into Academy the other day to get some golf shoes, and it looked like all the aisles had less than half the shoes they'd had on display in the past.
I was told that pool chlorine was going to be a big issue this summer. Some plant in Louisiana burned down.

HEB and Walmart were out of Natty's for a couple weeks. It was pretty much crisis mode for a while. All good now.

Lack of labor at food producers has already started to impact the beef, pork and chicken market.
Look for lower supply and higher prices.

Building materials, one of my contractors has been waiting since November for brick in forty plus home.
I had gotten a quote on replacing a 30x40 metal building three weeks ago. In that 3 weeks time, the price went up $1000 just from materials.
We're still rebuilding from the winter storm and materials prices are just asinine. I went to get some fluids for my tractor and was talking to the shop manager. He was telling me a lot of his parts are 6-9 months out now, because factories can't get raw materials to even make the parts.

Just about all contractors are booked up. Had a metal building constructed. Signed contract end of May 2020. Told 8-10 weeks out. Started turning dirt December 23, 2020. Just got last of things completed about 2 weeks ago. (electrical, plumbing, power company, septic) Yes to be legal, had to put in a full (home capacity) septic for 1 bathroom, utility sink, and floor drain.

I can't get the attention of a local electrician to wire in a Generator transfer switch with an external outdoor receptacle box. I can do it myself, but wanted to make sure it is up to code.

Cement is a big time problem, we have been allocated 60 % of what we used last year, my operation will run out of cement today by noon, not good. First it is the restaurant debacle from covid and now cement, not going to ask what's next.

Wife’s 2020 Explorer has been in the body for 6 months due to a piece of plastic in the front grill. Makes me irritated, because they are obviously making new cars still; but won’t let any parts go on for repairs.
The ford dealer said they had transmissions needing repairs and can’t get parts for them.
I was going to buy a new truck, not going to buy one and risk not having parts to fix it though.

I blame the shortages on covid businesses close, people working from home. Everybody has extra time on their hands for other things like home improvement and hobbies making for shortages everywhere. I went to a tree farm to get some oak trees they were picked over and what was left was poorly shaped, thin, and scraggly. I tried 2 other places with the same results. They all said the same thing lots of landscaping going on.

I had a buddy that was in the market for a good used boat over in coastal North Carolina, it took him months to find anything worth looking at, and they were all priced quite high

Apparently there’s also an issue with unloading ships at California. Not enough workers to unload all the ships and only perishable items were being unloaded. I’ve heard this from a few businesses now.

All true, my Eifs manufactures having trouble getting five gallon buckets, Dryvit is only operating at 30% at the moment. Metal Lath was 5$ per sheet for 2.5 self furring and is now 11$. Stucco/ Eifs industry is a mess right now and I’m hopeful it’s gets straightened out soon, I have a 600 home subdivision start soon and I’m stock piling material now in case I can’t get it.

Tabs is what I was told. I already bought mine for the year so I don’t know if the stores have limited supply.

Heard a program on NPR, even GM, Ford and Chrysler are slowing down production and even pausing some factories because they can't get computer chips and materials. Apparently when the pandemic started easing up, there was an influx of buying of new cars and they can't support the buyer market.

The chip shortage is due to a factory in Japan that makes them caught fire.

In food industry I could write an endless list. I am currently using a substitute Fry, onion ring, chicken wings are all over the chart in both size and price. Beer from certain suppliers is an issue. It's little bombs going off every time I order, then i scramble around trying to source it. We are currently out of the orange liquor we float on our Rita's.

The fire that Renesas had was on top of an ongoing chip shortage . When you combine both of these things --- and the fact that Renesas's factory will probably be at least 6 months before any real wafer production , the new car shortage will only get much worse . Toyota , Honda and Nissan will be hit hardest by the fire , then Mercedes and BMX next . The upcoming quarterly revenue reports from all car companies is going to be scary bad .

I don't know really know how all the tax stamps on booze works in the bar business, but I'm assuming you wouldn't be allowed to just toss a bottle up behind the bar that was purchased at a retail location. Would that be correct? There is certainly no shortage of orange liqours sitting on the shelf at my local Spec's.

We make all the beer you can sell. No shortages at our brewery.
Just let me know when you want to put the #1 IPA brand in the US on tap.

Raw castings, heat exchangers, accumulator shells, accumulator bladders, steel support tubes to make filters with, steel tubing to make cylinders and piston accumulators, any sort of transducer, labor to put stuff together. Even if we had raw material availability, there isn’t any room on the ships needed to get it here and air freight has gone super stupid.
I’m in the fetal position by noon everyday trying to expedite the orders I have. It’s horrible.
