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.

Everything important is in short supply. The part store near me can't keep lots of standard oil filters in stock regularly and they won't even attempt to order a radiator. New orders on good boots are up to 4-months out - that's unheard of. Mattresses and lots of other appliances are months out and retailers aren't even trying to guess when they'll be available, just order and wait. Flagging, ribbon, and marking paint for forestry work is backordered for months. Most of those products are not things that people went out of their way to stockpile last year.

Everyone who lurked it up on enhanced unemployment and gibs after they had the opportunity to go back to work should be shot alongside the lockdown planners.

Yes, I agree completely. I did notice the oil filters as well, the bog-standard Ford FL910S hasn't been on the shelf for months.

You ride a horse instead it’s greener plus when you get hungry you can eat the horse. You can’t eat a truck
