Oh, we have int'l borders closed We have huge disruption with manufacturing and transport We have huge labor and personnel problems All related to a world wide pandemic
Do you think this a conspiracy Lots of people do but regardless
Supply chains all around the world have been affected and why At Home Depot one has to pay $1.80 cdn per foot for a 2x6 spruce.
Oh yeah, forgot the demand side - idjets are building bunkers in old nuclear missile silos and on private islands. One can run but they cannot hide. No Man is an island. Luckily they are less than a fraction of 1% ;) GLTA.
