Things have a lot of potential to get REALLY interesting this winter.
Cheap shit from China not being in stock is one thing. Current energy prices have a much bigger potential to lead to empty shelves on things that matter: food.
Here in Europe fertilizer plants and greenhouses have either scaled back production or shut down completely because energy has gotten too expensive.
Farming wholesalers can't risk stocking up on fertilizer because of high prices. Thus farmers have trouble getting the fertilizer they need, if they can afford it.
Electricity and gas suppliers are starting to go out of business because they can't afford wholesale prices anymore.
There's a lot of "cheap shit from China" that our infrastructure is built on. Say some specialty water/gas valve breaks in a water or gas line: does the utility have spares, or are they going to have to wait 6 months to get a replacement? If they have to repair the valve, is the guy who would have done that still working there or did they just fire him?
We own farms and I've written two checks this past summer for fertilizer that were more than the car we bought back in April. And since we share crop lease that was only 1/3rd share of the fertilizer.

Fired for not taking the injection.
Good news! The world government is currently controlled by a cabal that’s desperate to funnel taxpayer money to “green” energy
