It just hit me today --
When the dollar loses lots of value, quicker than people's minds can adjust to higher prices (no one is ready for $10 gallons milk), what happens much quicker is SHORTAGES OF EVERYTHING, as anyone "stupid enough" to trade STUFF for DEVALUED CURRENCY quickly finds a buyer.
Just like if I went out on the street and said, "Who wants to give me 2 $5 bills for my $20?" I would have PLENTY of customers. In fact, there would be a SHORTAGE because eventually I'd run out of $20 bills. I'd have people lining up all day to make that deal! THERE WOULD BE A WAITING LIST.
If a store started selling something -- a useful, practical item that EVERYONE NEEDS -- for 50% off, there would certainly be a shortage of supply. They'd restock in the morning, and it would be sold out (again) within hours. Because the price is 1/2 of what it should be.
Now apply that to all the shortages (basically a waiting list -- not enough supply to meet demand) they're talking about in the news:
Housing shortage
Computer chip shortage
Copper shortage
Wood shortage
Labor shortage
When they're a shortage of "everything", you're basically in severe inflation, or even hyperinflation.
Another example: when they keep silver/gold prices artificially low, what happens? The Treasury always sells out of Silver ounces within minutes. It's because the REAL VALUE is actually higher than the official price -- and everyone knows it.
-
Add iron ore, steel, fuel, and many food items to the list. They’re doing this on purpose to crash the economy and bring on the Great Reset ... under the cover of COVID, which can be conveniently blamed for it. Schwab clearly stated his intentions.
-
Again, I want to emphasize my point.
If silver or gold were properly priced, there would be as many people wanting to SELL for today's price as those wanting to BUY for today's price. But when the price something is artificially low (for whatever reason: psychology, manipulation, inertia, etc.) then you end up with SCARCITY of that item. Too many customers chasing too few bargains.
Anything that is selling, today, for less than twice last year's price is basically a BARGAIN and smart people know it.
If you had to sink your money into physical things -- say you knew your money would be toilet paper by next week -- what items would you want to buy first? Practical stuff, right?
So my theory is: these practical items -- stuff everyone needs -- will be the CANARY IN THE COALMINE that our currency is actively plunging in value.
If a store started selling something -- a useful, practical item that EVERYONE NEEDS -- for 50% off, there would certainly be a shortage of supply. They'd restock in the morning, and it would be sold out (again) within hours. Because the price is 1/2 of what it should be.
And you know the you-know-hews are doing this. Buying up land, real estate, materials, etc.

Based on economists I’ve been listening to, they think the housing market has peaked and will start to decline, as in 2007/08. But with the added inflation of food on the horizon, the housing decline could be real big.
.
He also says that the lumber shortages were based on 3 things, and will decline by end of summer. 1) CÖVÌD shutdown of production (ie less supply), 2) increase of house projects since people didn’t spend $ on travel and were working from home (ie increase demand), 3) lumber yards hoarding wood in an attempt to drive up prices and make a short term profit (ie decrease supply). But at some point, prices will come back down.
.
In the last 6 months we’ve seen prices rise for all kinds of things (food, tp) the same reasons as above. Fewer people are working (ie less supply), while they still have same demand (due to CÖVÌD stimulus).
.
In the grand scheme of things, yes, big time inflation is coming because of the continued devalue of the dollar. Import costs will rise and the scariest thing....those things that we actually make in the US, will be exported because US manufacturers will make more money selling to foreign countries than to selling to its own citizens. What an !&%# backwards nightmare.
.
YouTube = economic ninja. He’s a small business/real estate guy from California. Explains stuff very well.

I don't quite buy the alleged "causes" of these shortages. I think it's all deliberate and engineered.
-
Yes, it’s planned because it’s all being blamed, ultimately, on the Covid shutdown. But there are also localized, additional reasons for the shortages, which make it worse.

Absolutely correct on both accounts.
The guy at the lumber yard said at current prices, just the materials alone for building house costs around $300-$350 per square foot in these parts, which is insane. That's like $500,000 for a 1500 sq ft house.
Standard drain pipe (pvc schedule 40 / 4 inch x 10 ft long) is $55.00, whereas just a few months ago it was $18.00. Now they're talking about a shortage of truck drivers, which is nothing but conditioning us for sky rocketing prices on everything before long.
-
These guys (https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/texas-company-offering-truck-drivers-14k-per-week) are offering $14k / week for truck drivers.

Of course there's inflation! You get inflation when you increase the money supply too fast. The government has printed vast oceans of money since March of 2020, at the same time that it prohibited most economic activity. This results in inflation. Even a child can understand this.
-
He also says that the lumber shortages were based [...] lumber yards hoarding wood in an attempt to drive up prices and make a short term profit (ie decrease supply).
.
If I understand correctly, this is exactly what Matthew is saying. In other words, lumber yards have stopped selling lumber because they think the current market price does not reflect its true value, or expect the price to rise quickly very soon, so they will just wait until that happens to sell. This in turn reduces the supply for sale, driving up prices even more, an inflationary cycle.

I don't believe that anymore. Currency values are all fake, and all this digital money is fake. They set where the money prices are. I don't believe that normal economic laws are in play. Hey, let's just print 20 trillion more. Why not? There's international collusion taking place.

I'm in the wrong business. I think the driver shortage is propaganda. What, did they all die of COVID? Unemployment at +$300 per week isn't enough to disincentivize these guys from working, like it definitely has been for the minimum wage folks.
-
So I have $1000 in cash and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to convert it into something tangible.
I have about 4 months worth of food and supplies.
What would be a good thing to have with regards to bartering etc.?

Ammunition: .223, 7.62x39, 9mm, .45ACP, .22LR, 12 gauge 00 buck, .308, etc.

I don't understand your position. You think those bailout payments were fake? I highly doubt that. I have no doubt they printed every last shiny, glimmering penny of that $6 trillion or whatever it was. It is only now starting to trickle down to the consumer level, where it is hitting the streets like a bad batch of crack.
.
Also, whether money is in digital form or paper bills or metal coins doesn't affect how it is used as a medium of exchange, so I don't see how the laws of economics would not apply to digital currency.
.
The laws of economics always work; just like the laws of physics or chemistry. They're inherent in the nature of things.

Based on the truckers and fleet manager I have talked to, the trucker shortage is real, because the younger drivers to not want to do the long haul jobs. So many trucking companies have to raise the salary to attract drivers, yet the quality of drivers has decreased. Many of the old timers (owner/operators) say their sons do not want to take over the business, and the old-timers are getting old and tired so they do not want to do long haul anymore, or they are doing less.

I have about 4 months worth of food and supplies.
My advice is to load up on canned food. Maybe buy some physical silver coins, if you can find them. Have cash on hand.

Sure, that's why the stockmarket has been going steadily up despite the fact that we've been in a serious recession if not borderline depression for the past two years. Even the other day when their new jobs numbers reported the worst miss of expectations in 23 years, the market went up.
It's all fake. They just claim that they have a certain money supply. FIAT money doesn't exist and so normal economic rules don't apply.

But what about COVID magically caused this? We didn't have a trucker shortage before COVID. They all died?

A huge problem with finding truck drivers and equipment operators is being able to find someone who can pass a drug test.

We didn't have a trucker shortage before CÖVÌD.
It has actually been an issue for several years, it just doesn't make the news very often.

And it didn't seem to affect the supply chain before now either. This whole downturn is engineered.
That one guy reporting from India said that the government is actively destroying the food supply. If you recall in the early days of COVID, they were destroying crops and lifestock.

I don't disagree with you that this present situation is engineered. But this particular aspect of it has been a long term problem. I talk regularly with people that own/manage construction and trucking companies and what I have written above is what they tell me.
A big part of the reason that it has not been so noticeable is that the older drivers have stayed working, often into their late 70's.
The crux of the problem is that the "Boomers" and the following generations, didn't/don't have many children. Between contraception and abortion we are missing many millions of people that would have done these jobs.
This is a situation, decades in the making, which we are starting to reap the fruits of.

True, the driver shortage was around before COVID

.
Ladislaus, the stock market is going up because of inflation too. Stock prices are getting inflated like everything else, except that they started going up sooner than other things because I suppose they are further upstream (towards the printing presses) than consumer goods. If you look at stock valuations, the P/E ratios are incredibly high. That means the price for the stock is extremely high. High prices indicate inflation, no?
.
It's all fake. They just claim that they have a certain money supply.
.
What exactly is fake? You think the government didn't actually print all that money last year?
.
FIAT money doesn't exist and so normal economic rules don't apply.

If FIAT money doesn't exist, what do you use to pay with when you go to the store?

The rules of economics with regard to inflation apply to whatever is being used as a medium of exchange, whether it's fiat currency, gold doubloons, German marks, wampum, Kennedy half-dollars, salt, or Rai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yap#Stone_money). If the supply of whatever is being used as a medium of exchange goes up and the quantity of purchasable goods and services remains the same, the prices will go up. It's basic math.

No, it's not. It's being artificially manipulated. It doesn't react badly to bad news anymore. There area hundred ways that the big trading companies do that, including help from the Plunge Protection Team.

Only if the market is free to begin with. It's totally controlled. We've been hearing about the unsustainable debt bubble for 20 years. It'll only pop when they want it to. Until then, they can just keep adding zeros to it in the computer. No, no dollars were actually printed. They're going to do away with paper currency pretty soon, probably in favor of a social credit type of system.
Look at the exchange rates for the U.S. dollar ... has barely budged.
There's some limited inflation, but that's being done on purpose:
1) lower-end wages have gone up because employers are having trouble keeping workers due to the CÖVÌD unemployment
2) deliberate artificial restriction of supply
Everything that happens economically is totally controlled by the Jєωs; there are no free markets.

I say that the powers to be and the controllers are going to starve us into submission to get their one world government
ruled by tyrants. They have plenty of brainwashed people to go along with it.
-

I would say rather that it is totally controlled by the devil, the Lord of the World who is very smart and tells the Jєωs, the devil's chosen people, what to do.

I think Bitcoin is still decentralized. The Fed (joos) can't control it as of yet.
The shekels are slipping through their fingers- OY!
Curses to the goyim blockchain!

Truck driver shortage because of electronic log books. The biggest problem is that no one wants to work. They rather stay home and live off of unemployment and stimulus package.

If we're talking in the next 1-3 years, yes, eventually cash will be worthless, but this won't happen overnight. You'll still need cash to buy stuff until the system dies. But this will be a "controlled" implosion of the system, so it will happen gradually at first.
.
I predict an increase in "cyber attacks" on banks, payment systems, etc. This might shut down banks, ATMs, credit card readers for a few days. (This is why you need to have cash on hand). Then the govt will pass some huge, sweeping bill aimed at "keeping our financial system safe". This bill will effectively put the govt in control of the internet, and all e-commerce. It will also give them control/surveillance over alt political sites and alt social media sites.
.
When the govt runs the internet, then the US digital currency can be unveiled. In between all of this, there will be financial chaos, so that the people will accept this "solution".

The video by Catherine Austin Fitts explained that the end game of the ɠƖobaƖısts is the eradication of all currencies, and replacement with a social credit system.
That explains why our Jєωιѕн banksters who run the (un)Federal Reserve have no qualms about creating/inventing/originating trillions of dollars in CÖVÌD payments, pork, and notes to a country already hoplessly indebteded to them:
It all serves to devalue the currency they have already decided to do away with.
Note that in the Catherine Austin Fitts video, she explains that the powers that be who hold the strings and orchestrate the show consider themselves to be a different species than us (i.e., a thinly veiled allusion to the Jєω/Goyim distinction), and views us as cattle. Start listening to the video at 38:25. Then to end the video, regarding the identity of TPTB, she says it is all very obvious who these people are.
So our Jєω banksters are in the final stage of global domination: They don't just forget that America owes them trillions of dollars, and destroy the currency for the hell of it.
They want something for their money:
Worldwide control (slavery).
