Now what! A stainless steel shortage?

My material suppliers are saying there's a shortage of stainless steel for fabrication purposes.

I'm talking 300 series stainless, of which my company has used quite a bit. Very difficult to come by now, if not impossible.

Stainless is used in many applications, and likely there's some within your field of view right now.

The government tore up the Constitution denying you the right to earn a living, denying you your civil liberties, and pursuit of happiness...

What do you expect to happen when people are denied the right to go to work?

Who creates the supply?

If no work happens, no goods are brought to market.

Does it really take a genius to point this out??!!

Is that China's best or worst product? In Canada, it is the contractors who order substandard stainless that is the problem rather than China can't produce the same quality the EU produces. (where do they get the raw materials from)

I'm going to guess that shortage would disappear if hemp was available in 'carbon-fibre form' that can be made to fill any mould that can be made, as well as 3D printers that spin the thread into patterns last seen on the pirate ships of old.

Same thread could reline city water/sewer mains, so replacement is avoided. They could also be used on concrete freeway supports, so they become 'quake-proof'.
And the list goes on . . .

my wife is a banker..she says there are a lot of people that want to buy homes and cars but inventory isn't there..so indirectly it's a negative for the banks...they have buyers lined up but no inventory to buy..I guess chips for cars..and lumber and building material slowing new construction

u need Steel too for Construction and Cars.

The framework of industry in this day and age is a process called "just in time" delivery...There are no warehouses stocked full of product or raw materials...Inventory is taxed!

So, to avoid taxes nobody keeps a large supply to offset a disruption in the supply chain...Therefore, everything grinds to a halt and magnifies the fucking stupidity of it all...

Like a spoiled brat not getting what he wanted in the store he started breaking things.

chips .... lumber ... steel ... food .... all resources needed for war

The cost of these supplies is going through the roof. I'm looking to buy a 4 ton air condition system with gas furnace. Four years ago the least expensive one was around $7,000. Today it's around $9,000-$11,000.

yeah..my neighbor is an AC guy..he says good luck getting a new system if you need it..supply isn't there.

My company has shortage of quartz. Quartz is used in making all computer chips and memory.


Everything is breaking down.

That long link is screwed up. Just google Christian 1 from denmark. His pic pops up.

Blue Ridge VA/WVA is loaded with quartz. Maybe start buying from the country folk whose ground hogs have mined it up to the surface?

What your link did was simply trigger the Secret GLP Censor, AC. For some phrases and word the Secret GLP Censor automatically changes to a preset word and/or phrase. Super annoying when it happens to you.

Thanks. Do i have to go to double secret probation now?

The good news is lumber has fallen 60% from recent highs. Back to pre covid levels and falling fast. Of course this assumes they don't lock everything down again.
