The mother of all supply chain shocks lurks in China's lockdown, January 12, 2022, -Bloomberg.

So I get spare fridges washing machines and all that? Autoparts,of course. What else?

Our supply chain is an incredibly complex and incredibly fragile (fragility increases exponentially with complexity) global just-in-the-nick-of-time production and delivery system, and right now it is breaking down all across the world.

Of particular note is our industrial food production which is run by large machinery - tractors, food processing plants, and trucks - from farm to fork. When those machines break down without spare parts available, food production and distribution will shut down.
...
Civilization - goes an old maxim - is only nine meals away from barbarism—Once the food deliveries stop, so does law and order. Try to envision the vast interlinking network of moving parts required to get those meals to 300 million Americans every day, and all of the things that must go right in order for that to network to function.

Nothing so far. Shelves are full.

If you're hitting the grocery store to prepare for winter weather, please just buy what you need and leave some for others!

You may have noticed empty shelves in some stores due to national supply chain issues, but there is no need to buy more than you normally would.You may have noticed empty shelves in some stores due to national supply chain issues, but there is no need to buy more than you normally would.

Good question. Answer: practically everything.

Most of what we have in America is imported and what is not is made by heavy machinery (food is the important one), and once those machines break down the spare parts will not be available.

In addition, almost every good in America is moved to its destination by trucks which will eventually break down also. Even fuel is moved by truck and once that stops flowing it's game over.

for 6 weeks or a lot more is a fool!

and you need wepones to Keep it.

sheds that can be use'd to burn
you out next to you home.

A great deal of things can make us
lose civilization for a time.

it could happen! um!

Please answer my question where the point in prepping is,if things are set to only get worse and can't be resolved easily in a foreseeable amount of time.thank you.

"That gosh darn China! How dare they have lockdowns? It's adding to our supply chain issues. America first!" - Some Nazi

I started prepping over 40 years ago for anticipated shortages that never happened. I had loads of stuff whose shelf life expired. When the world ran out of toilet paper in 2020, my supplies of toilet paper were long gone. Do you know that even the gun powder in ammunition expires? It attracts moisture and could explode if you try to fire it.

There is also the problem with storing all those preps and the large amount of money it takes to buy all that crap. Money wasted, IMHO.
