If there was anything to it, it was from .gov trying to get people away from using cash.Anybody got an update on last year's "national coin shortage"?
I was in a gas station on Monday and they still had a sign up stating something along the lines of "exact change is appreciated due to shortage."Anybody got an update on last year's "national coin shortage"?
Lactose intolerance, FUCK YEAH!!!I did not see this one coming. Guess I best buy a few vintage milk cans.
Still in my AO, Kroger puts your coin change on your Kroger card.Anybody got an update on last year's "national coin shortage"?

Boy, saving coins for a decade to arbitrage against seignorage. Must have mad ones of dollars in profit there.Wrong, it was an attempt to force more coins out of the public and back into circulation, where they could further reduce the supply.
Face value of coins is far lower than the actual value.
People have been saving coins for a decade now, not just silver.
Yes, its a play on going cashless as well, but coinage has been a money garhole for the Fed for some time.
Really smart guy warned folks this would happen 30 years ago. He put out a bunch of videos as Mike from Michigan. Anyone want to guess his real name? They shut him up, just like he said they would.

I wonder what the cost is to melt down a penny, purify the metal and recast it into salable form is. Probably costs at least three cents to get that one cent margin.
Please tell me it is the MAGA Pillow guy.You'll think wow, if I tell you that guys name that predicted all we now see happening, 30 years ago.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is looking at ways to address supply chain disruptions – from clogged ports to addressing the shortage of truck drivers.
President Joe Biden issued an executive order in February on supply chain issues.
In June, the White House unveiled a Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force led by Buttigieg and the secretaries of Commerce and Agriculture “to provide a whole-of-government response to address near-term supply chain challenges … (and) to diagnose problems and surface solutions—large and small, public or private—that could help alleviate bottlenecks and supply constraints.”
On Thursday, Buttigieg held a virtual roundtable on congestion at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports that included the Federal Maritime Commission chair, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and other senior U.S. officials to look at ways of reducing congestion at ports.
“For our economy to fully recover, we now need our vital supply chains to operate smoothly and without avoidable congestion,” Buttigieg said.
Approximately 40% of all containerized freight flowing through the United States arrives or departs through Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.

No shit I went to a Popeyes and they told me they were out of chicken, WTF
this was outside Missoula Montana.
The challenge there is to sustain a cow by growing enough feed on an individual's homestead. Besides growing enough food to sustain a family. When a person can successfully grow a vegetable plant in a 5 gallon bucket they are on their way to gardening.... then homesteading.Buy a cow! (And ammo)
We are starting to see validation of what you are saying:Too many people are dependant on the supply chain in order to live a normal and comfortable life. Throw one thing into the mix, like a fuel shortage, and for most people life goes to hell quickly.
Mill bags. Just like Canada. Except they will be beer bags.![]()

I guess if you don't have enough cans you have to sell more expensive beer in the cans you do have to make your margins.
I went into town again today, second time this week. We have six gas stations, and they were all out of Regular Gas (which includes Mid-Grade), paying $4.50 per gallon for Premium sucks, especially when you don't need the higher grade, but I was running on fumes, and had no choice but to buy it. This is the third time this month that we had gas shortages here. News is reporting that the gas shortages are mostly happening in the big cities.
I'm 20+ miles from a small Town with no Lowes or Home Depot, but we have a small Walmart. To shop elsewhere requires a lot of windshield time. Typically, I have to go to three different places in town to get everything I need. The last couple of months, many things I regularly purchase are not being restocked on the shelves.
Here's a list of things that are hardly, or never in stock. Granted, some of the listed items are brands I prefer over others, so I could go with another brand. However, there are certain items like oil filters, that for some reason, the one type I use has been out of stock for several weeks.
Here's the list of shortages I'm seeing;
Shipping Containers
Gasoline
Oil Filters.
PVC pipe and fittings.
Outlet Boxes.
Good quality lumber (no matter the price).
Bar Soap.
Pepperoni (full sticks).
Sumatra Coffee.
Bottled Sweet Tea with real sugar.
Mountain Dew with real sugar.
Fresh Lettuce.
Wrangler Jeans (regular fit).
Mild Italian sausage.
Beer Brats.
Pringles (original).
Last, but not least... Retumbo.
Buy hey, it's not the end of the world, Walmart had one box of CCI 22 Shorts, a box of 243Win, a couple boxes of 308Win, and about five boxes of 270Win.
I understand. The term I have coined is "sprinkling" commodities across America to different retailers (brick and mortar / Internet sales). Suppliers are sending supplies where they can get the largest return on investment ($$$). They are avoiding another "toilet paper shortage" dilemma.. Amazon passes increases on immediately where Home Depot probably bought supplies on the "futures market" with far out delivery dates.Went to Home Depot looking for corner protectors (plastic edging for doorways). The web page said they had plenty. Got there and the shelf was empty. Got a saleswoman and she said she knew they were out. I asked why not update the inventory list. She said that's not her job. I asked if she's going to order them. She said the main office sent out a directive denying them the ability to purchase "all plastics", whatever that means.
I walked out of the aisle yelling "that's why people buy from Amazon" and I left my cart (with many items in it) and left the store.
