One of the things I buy is a case of washer fluid, which will usually last me about 6-8 months, with another for the winter. Normally, they have boxes of the standard blue stuff everywhere, but today there was none. Even the good Rain-X stuff was just about sold out, and the other shelves of just odds n ends were looking a little barer than normal.

It looks like supply lines have never recovered from last year's lie, and if they do it again things like that may become unavailable. It may be nothing, but it's just an observation.

That's because I don't live in flyover country. I live in a decent size city of about 2M people, more if you count the nearby metro areas that have kind of joined up with the one I live in. That big dark cloud on the horizon that's moving your way? That's the city.

I also realize I'm dealing with someone who's probably never been out of their little area, and would probably die if they had to actually drive themselves somewhere and not take an Uber.
