I’m not sure what the current concern is about supply chain issues. Does that have to do with the possible railroad strike?
Yes, it was about the possible RR strike. Which I think isn’t going to happen now after what I just heard on the news.Quote:

One of the reasons I simply stayed and moved here (other than being stuck) was seeing how well the community adapted to the problem, improvised solutions, and relied on local resiliency. I figured this would be good folks to live amongst.
I have not been proven wrong.
I hear a condom shortage is plaguing the sex industry, due to supply chain issues. I have no idea if that's true.
I have only noticed that female condoms are in short supply, with inflated prices. High quality non-latex male condoms seem quite available and not inflated.Quote:

Should have mentioned in original post,
I'm stocking up as hedge against inflation as well as supply chain issues. So, I view it as a can't lose financial decision, since I will eventually consume many of my purchases anyway.
A local closeout store had purchased 72 trailer loads from a Sam's Club that closed. Prices were 40% off Sam's original price.
Also been getting cardboard from work to use as ground cover over expanding garden area.
I don't have a problem finding cardboard, but that is my favorite way of expanding my gardens. So much easier than tilling. Before the winter, I laid down another area of my pathway with cardboard, compost, leaves and topsoil. Should be ready by spring planting.Quote:
