  1. If your system has no manual abilities maybe it is time to rethink just what you are doing and how you are doing it. Everything that is being controlled by computer was done without computers for many, many, many, years. Call the Mennonites, I am sure they will be able to tell you how to feed and clothe yourselves without the aid of a computer. I just bet they can make many types of chesses without a computer. Do I really need a sarc tag?????

  2. One wonders how many of these cyber attacks against Western Producers is financed in part or in whole by certain Globalist entities…. All to enhance & quicken the Destruction of Western Hemisphere Society and the Economic Engine that created it….for their “Great Reset”

    1. If you have more than $100,000 in the banking investments…
      You can thank the banks when they confiscate it when the internet crashes.

    2. Think about what those cucksuckers are doing to the PEI potatoe farmers.
      Millions of pounds of produce are but 1 to 2 months away from going rotten.
      Denied the ability to be sold to hungry Americans cause of what ?
      A trade tiff and it happens now ?

      All by design, screw with our physical/mental health, work, relationships, children, businesses, energy and now food production.
      This is clandestine war against us.

      How much more longer are We The People of North America, going to put up with it before we snap ?

      1. Turn the spuds into vodka.
        A NEW COTTAGE INDUSTRY!! Be positive!
        We’re staying at home much more these days. Heck I’m buying nothing smaller than 40oz bottles of hard stuff, and wine by the 4 litre box.
        Absolutely true!

  5. Gearbox rep came by the shop today. Prices of electric motors have gone up 60% since April. Some common bearing housings are completely out of stock. If you want some, delivery will be in May of next year.

    I’m all on board with the need to rebuild our industrial infrastructure. But that rebuilding requires precisely those kinds of components which are now in critically short supply. No manufacturing facility is going to produce much without basic components like the ones I mentioned.

    1. Between that and much higher fuel costs…

      You can pretty much project what is coming in this ‘just in time’ supply chain infrastructure.

  6. The other problem is…
    All these companies incorporated into a single business model…

    Think about it…

    Look at Pizza places have to have low prices due to intense competition.

  7. All these companies incorporated into a single business model…

    America Inc. discovered it was much more “profitable” to financialize itself by selling shares and bonds to private equity funds and banks in exchange for magic on-demand fiat currency, outsource all real-world productivity to what used to be called the third world, and then buy back all that production with magic on-demand fiat currency.

    The elite predator class knows a reset is necessary because their “model” is being revealed as a Potemkin village and is in the process of disintegration.

  8. “They will have to pry the cream cheese out of my cold dead hands!”
    (Over heard in autopsy)
    “Are you sure that’ s cream cheese?”

  9. While on the subject of inflation, here’s an update from my perspective, having bought groceries at the nearby Safeway earlier this afternoon0.

    Yeast: a large jar used to cost under $9.00 and is now nearly $11.00

    Spaghetti: roughly 30% more than a few months ago

    Margarine: a large tub that used to cost $8.50 is now over $11

    On the positive side, pork is still a lot cheaper than beef, both here in Edmonton and in Fort St. John.

    1. Thanks for your report. Shopped at Jimmy P’s in southern Alberta earlier this week. Higher prices and scarcity were the order of the day:

      Yeast: a large jar used to cost under $9.00 and is now nearly $11.00

      Haven’t shopped for it lately. It completely and very mysteriously disappeared at the beginning of the scamdemic hysteria. Bought enough to last me a while when it returned to the shelves after a few months.

      Margarine: a large tub that used to cost $8.50 is now over $11

      Never used the stuff, but couldn’t find any lactantia butter in my store this week, and other butter products were in very short supply.

      pork is still a lot cheaper than beef

      Couldn’t find either ground beef or pork anywhere for the first time in my life. The usual location was instead full of $50-$100 packages of rather smallish cuts of pricier cow parts.

      1. Thanks for your report.

        You’re welcome.

        I remember that. Since I bake my own bread, the recipe I use requires it. Similarly, most of the margarine I buy goes into that bread or when I make pancakes from scratch.

          You’ll like this one, because I know you’re an olde tyme CBC listener, (i.e. before the Cultural Revolution).

          Lister Sinclair’s program during the summer hiatus of Ideas, A Is For Aardvark, once discussed how margarine was invented, and why. It was fascinating and horrifying at the same time. Opened my eyes for sure. I can’t believe an intelligent, erudite, insightful, informed, and astute man as yourself would ever consume that crap. If you make bread using the no-knead method, which is very popular nowadays, nothing but yeast, flour, salt, and water are needed. Taste and texture is superb. Try it!

          Lister Sinclair’s programs were great. Sadly, all that treasure seems to be locked in some vault in downtown Hogtown, never to be released to the taxpaying public ever again.

          1. Opened my eyes for sure. I can’t believe an intelligent, erudite, insightful, informed, and astute man as yourself would ever consume that crap.

            The actual recipe calls for lard. Try finding that nowadays.

            As for A is for Aardvark, I used to listen to it, back when the radio arm of CBC didn’t insult the intelligence of its listeners. Like you, I miss the great Mr. Sinclair.

  10. Heard it on CNBC – they are making the bagel holes bigger to help with the cream cheese shortage.

    1. Why don’t they dispense with the bagels and just sell the holes?

      Higher profit margin…we could call them Trudeau-blinzes or something. Like the old Bennett-buggies.

  11. Off topic, but sort of related. I am noticing a Cheerios shortage. A couple of regular stores are totally out. I wonder what that is about.

    1. LindaL I heard on an financial podcast a couple of months ago that the oat harvest in many parts of the US has failed. A farmer was actually quoted at that time saying “you can’t make Cheerios from barley”. Well, you could, but then you’d probably call them Barlios.

      Anyway, around that time I started buying as much steel-cut oats as I could find. When my usual supplier started to source a different product, I knew the supply chain was having problems and that the oat apocalypse would soon be visited upon us.
