Like 2013 All Over Again

 

Apparently the pain and uncertainty of the O'Bummer years only bought us a small amount of time before many people went back to sleep and allowed the radical Femocrats to sneak in their lies and begin again. 

I really do not blame rational people for flat out hoping government and politics would just stay out of their lives and do what they are suppose to do and keep things on a constant keel. It is hard enough to deal with everyday problems without also keeping an eye on one's own government to see what problems it is going to throw at you as well.

Believe me I understand completely.

What I have observed in the recent week or so seems like a step back in time to the 2010 - 2013 time frame when the signs were there but many were still hoping against hope they could ignore them.

Shipping in my little part of this collapse is chaotic at best now. I am getting what I call ghost notices commonly. Notices that I have inventory on the way that never appear but are then added to shipments that come in later. Certain models are now shipped directly from the factory by private contractors in the middle of the night and just seem to magically appear on one of my lots. Mostly higher dollar but lower demand models but they can easily sit there for days unless I go out checking each day now. I call them my undocumented vehicles as there is no paper trail or papers unless I go in and see if we actually ordered it a few months back.

I am assuming the ghost deliveries and surprise deliveries are related to fuel price and shortages with units now waiting or being combined for efficiency rather than short term profit. Hay I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Pretty much all special orders from last year have been built and delivered I will say that BUT there are very few new special order paperwork notices for me to file. Damned few. Officially I am being told with supply problems many special order units are just not being offered. I see a potential bloodbath forming especially if other companies are approaching this uncertainty in the same way. 

Customers on the service side seem to also have started waning. The lot that has been filled to over flowing waiting for service work for the last few months  is now showing big gaps and some of the employees are even commenting on how slow it is getting. Maybe temporary we will see.

The general crowded nature around the Small-Hold locally has slowed remarkably. No where near the congestion on the roads or the local businesses as I experienced all Summer. Not sure exactly why for sure although I have a few suspicions. A pass by a few new developments on my commute and I counted   24 building lots that had for sale signs on them yesterday that were now removed this afternoon and that was only along the road frontage I pass the place on. There were scattered lots in other places that are now lacking for sale signs that had em earlier last month.

No word much yet about sagging infrastructure but I would bet that is coming. Looks like a sub-prime loan collapse in multiple industries and massive transport problems are here to stay for a while my Friends. Plan accordingly.

Keep Prepping Everyone!!!!
