Major appliance manufacturer beginning layoffs...

Thanks for the pin. Will update.

ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE AT THE TOP LISTENED TO ANTHONY FAUCI AND WILLIAM GATES WITH OVER HYPED FAUX PANDEMIC BROADCASTING THROUGH THE MEDIA.

Not BS. Not LG.

Thank you. Buying puts on GE tomrorow.

The supply chain is forever screwed most likely in our lifetimes.

We had to buy a new fridge last year during the shortages because our 23 year old one had a bad gasket that was progressively getting worse and falling apart. Couldn't buy the gasket anymore from the manufacturer. Tried to fix it with silicone, etc. No dice. We compared the old electric bill to the new one, it was eating up about 3kwh/day just from being on so much from being leaky! That's about $130 a year in electricity.

Would I be correct to infer that this is due to slacking sales? But, but....the 'rats have been saying that people saved all kinds of money during the lockdowns and today's shortages are because we've all been spending wads of cash (gas is expensive because everybody is driving around to spend all their cash). Is that not true? I mean, I can't believe that the 'rats would lie to me.

The consumer appliance division was bought by Haier, a Chinese company, years ago.

I know the Mexico plant make's GE's mid-range refrigerators. Their basic ones get made in China. The top end gets made in Louisville. I wonder if it's due to chip shortages for the top-end models?

Sure but most people are not hauling their clothes to the laundermat for months.There are a couple guys on local craigslist who repair washers and dryers and deliver them for a couple hundred.They take your old stuff away and refurbish or scrap them.they even give you a 90 day warrantee.I used to have rental and tenants destroy shit.You can get functioning appliances for 100 dollars.

GE?

No problem, the Fed will just add a couple more zeros to the balance sheet.

This is why I and my parents before me always bought Sears appliances. If you want to fix them they sold all of the parts so that you are not stuck with a $200.00 bill from repair man. In my area, they had stores stocked with every part imaginable. My father and my husband were both handy.

probably a tax payer funded basement dweller

I'll happily sell them to you!

good, I send my wife to do laundry by the river.

2008 all over again. The weak and the lazy goes first, then the fishes on the top. As more and more people start getting laid off more and more bills got unpaid. Banks start tumbling and Wall Street bankers jumping by the windows.

THIS!

probably but it will just add more to the inflation rate

Whenever I get it, I will be back on here spilling the beans.

That not the major problem. Primary is all these things need CHIPS (which can't be sourced). While a smart Nation would ask people to NOW throw out ANYTHING with a chip, gold on cutout boards, & metals that can be recycled.I; & create centers for drop offs & pick ups. USA could function but for lack of chips "a chip a chip, my kingdom for a chip", yet we are literally throwing out & causing trash/disposal issues of MANY things USA could salvage & reuse.

Next the raw materials for appoamces etc have massively increased in price/value & hard to come by. Take stainless steel for example, it used to be magnetic, but now removed iron & NICKEL (that market in fury).

My double oven stove unit broke & there were NO availability to simply as is normal replace the 1 broken of the 5 circuit panels. It took me 7 months to get a oven/stove unit to replace it. (You order but then get email that the one you bought online SOMEHOW given to others, over & over. Even from in-store Lowe's purchase/paid of unit verified was freaking in stock/back of store & awaited delivery to ME.. that 1 disapeared too.
Finally got something but isn't double oven as the easy ones to find are the stupid connect to internet or cell app units. So I have something I don't want with features i'm against & won't use, that doest have the 2nd oven, & cost way more.. I make most my meals homemade so was crippled without such tools.

Anything for HVAC AC/HEAT systems been on massive back orders for over year. Windows, doors out of stock.

Car parts, good luck. And new car factories had to PIVOT, &/or shut down lines because can't get chios (which I don't want in my vehicles anyway), nor parts from over seas, & all raw materials & metals are $ too high.

Wood & wood products skyrocketing prices.

Plumbing supplies price increases & many things very hard to get.

Our society agenda makers have literally destroyed & removed proper type of more efficient & w/out BS vehicles, appliances, everything. Simple clean devices work better, less issues, last longer, cheaper to repair. But look how worthless & full of crap vehicles etc are. They are garbage, but monitor, collect, track, control, deny... All while we pay more for poor products that harm us.

It will be all of them, but GE has already started choppin in other divisions

Do you think material prices are going to stabilize or just continue upward climb?

You work for poo poo

hey they don't censor child like posts

all of you are poo poo faces and smell like poo

I'm good, Trump gave me alot of free money, Just bring it,

Well, gee, think about it. Shortage of raw metals to make stuff, Gasoline, used to transport materials, is going up US$1.00 a week, China [where majority of stuff comes from] is locking down for CoVid#352, employers need to pay workers more because they need more because of ever increasing living expenses, so what do you think?

IDIOT! Of course materials are going to cost more like everything else we need. A LOT more going forward.

Of course prices are going up... saying when do you think they will start to stabilize, 1 week, 1 month??? There always is a cool off period, nothing going straight up or down

Covidtard, let me guess, this is due to Covid and people with Long Covid and missing reported deaths.
