Concur and thanks for the reminder. Not just food.

Personal first hand knowledge here: ordering manufactured basic hardware items from both Red China and Taiwan has been extended from the normal 4 months from time of order to mfg completion to approx. 6-8 months. Shipping time and cost has also increased dramatically from normal 3-4 weeks to 8-10 weeks. The pricing of containers went from $2000 to over $10,000 (to ship a load in a container, 1 trip over full of your shit) if you can get an available one. Result will be shortages and price increases of imported items going forward well into the next year.

If you think this will not affect you I will ask one question: if some cheap, imported from China part and installed onto your "domestic vehicle" breaks, who is going to shit you out a new one so that your Ford or Chevy can get back on the road?

Answer: nobody. You might, or might not, be able to scrounge one from a junkyard....but they'll catch on quick when even the factory boys are calling for parts and so expect prices there to increase and sporadically dry up as well.

Single example of how it might effect you. I'm sure you can come up with a few more on your own.
