Well it sucks... and I'm seriously thinking WTF Amerika? We deserve the stupidity we have sown.
Alright, enough gripping, back to work.
If you've been slacking the last few years because Trump was in and you thought it was easy street now, well that's your business. But a LOT has changed and a lot more WILL change, and little for the better.
Just as in 08 and 12 when the last monstrosity was in office, things will get bad as far as supply goes. However the bad part now is we are starting this 4 years of hell already under bad supply situations.
I remember X39 getting up to roughly $370. a case during the height of it last time- we are currently at that level already. And while I don't remember prices of 5.56 then, I would be willing to bet they were much cheaper than $.70 a round like we are STARTING from this go around.
Food storage- same deal. I go to the Mt. House dealer ordering website once a week for laughs. Of 30 or so entrees I can remember 5 being the most I saw available since March. So we are STARTING from a bad place there also.
In 2008 and even in 2012, you could get a new 3rd Gen PVS14 night vision set shipped out to you within a few days of ordering. Current lead times vary by model but are at least 4 weeks with most of the better grades running 10-12 weeks Minimum.
So this is where we are STARTING from this go around. Not good.
