Orders from China are about a year out and no new inventory on a lot of electronics. Production costs are sky high due to natural gas and coal futures. Fertilizer production shut down, so expect increases in byproduct dependent products that rely on gasses like soda and beer. Biden shut down domestic oil production so we're now at the mercy of Russia.
