Supply chains are in real trouble, especially in the medium-term. Inventories higher up the chain are in trouble, with production of critical supplies coming to a stop due to lack of demand by manufacturers who are either facing lack of production capacity or demand. Capital equipment purchases and upgrades seem to have stopped; this is not sustainable, and will lead to problems.
I am not talking about groceries here; huge numbers of industries are intertwined. plastics, electronics, transportation, steel manufacturing, etc.

- nickff 7y agoI didn't mean that as a criticism; I just don't know much about groceries. Grocery stores and their suppliers will definitely be affected by many other industries though.
