The shortages are getting interesting.
Here's a post a friend shared on another forum I frequent.
I'm upgrading my electrical service, and a few days ago an engineer from the utility came out to inspect the work. I really like living in a place where it is the utility and not some local bureaucrat who does the inspections. The utility has skin in the game.
He wanted some metal fittings where my electrician was planning to use PVC. My electrician explained that those fittings just weren't available in metal, and rattled off a list of the places he had checked. The utility engineer relented and approved the PVC. Try that with a town inspector!
This provoked a discussion of shortages in electrical hardware. The utility guy told us about a major new property development, a 5,000 acre ranch being set up with streets, utilities, etc. The developer had just been told that the meter sockets were 56 weeks delivery!
Meter sockets are a simple metal box with some molded plastic parts and smallish electrical connections inside to hold the meter. The developer is frantic; no meters, no occupancy, and waiting over a year will wreck his plans and his finances.
We've reached the stage where the shortages are not just in consumer goods, but in those goods further up the chain of production that enable the production of consumer goods.
We've also reached the stage where scrounging for troves of once-common parts is becoming the norm.

And its about to get much worse.
Starting January 15th, 2022, truckers must show a proof of vaccine to cross the Canada/US borders. Since March 2020, drivers were considered “essential”. They could cross the border without a covid test or the vaccine. Under Biden/Trudeau administration, this is about to change.

Most truckers I talk to absolutely refuse to get jabbed. That is not an industry to push around, think stuff is hard to get now, wait til the trucks stop rolling. And to think its one of the most isolated jobs you can have too. Most of the time your in the cab by yourself, even at time of pick up and delivery they are not around alot of people. Makes no logic to force a vaccine on a truck driver other then control and digging that hole deeper and deeper with every rule and mandate.
Interesting article. The comment section gets into a "trusting your neighbor discussion" .
DC Asks Shoppers to Start Rationing Food: Is This Just the Beginning?
https://www.theorganicprepper.com/rationing-food/
"Farmers are being paid to not produce, are being ordered to dump their product to rot on the side of the road, meat is being regulated out of existence, people are being banned from trucking food into the country, and food processing plants are coercing people out of their jobs (and then facing inexplicable labor shortages).
America seems to now be facing a food shortage.
What did you expect?"

The goal is to add 4 million acres of farmland to the Conservation Reserve Program, which takes land out of production to blunt agriculture’s environmental impact.
The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it would expand a program that pays farmers to leave land fallow, part of a broader, government-wide effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. The new initiative will incentivize farmers to take land out of production by raising rental rates and incentive payments.

I am a farmer. I have a partner that has 40 sections.. so he is not a small farmer. Guys like you, are always posting shit that "gets the headlines" but have little understanding of the complete picture. Read the bill. Get a copy of the agreement between the farmer and the Fed and then come back here and post something that has relevance. You probably should apply for a job at CNN or MSNBC. You fit the mold and I would gladly write a recommendation for you. Don't be a dolt!!

Which part or maybe you could edumicate me.
I just watched this speech by the HMFIC of the USDA . His emphasis seems to be on a climate change agenda and the
Center for Excellence in Climate Change. From what I can tell, it is run by the U.N.

I'm still not sure what part of the bill you are referencing,but I did find some fun facts.
Do you remember when Trump removed us from the Paris Agreement?
Well it looks like we will rejoin the agreement:

This from NPR :
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4736044#:~:text=If%20the%20USDA%20accepts%20the%20offer%2C%20the%20farmer,runoff%20into%20streams%2C%20or%20valuable%20habitat%20for%20wildlife.
Yet the CRP is not universally loved. Businesses that sell farm products don't like it, because taking land out of production reduces demand for fertilizer, pesticides, tractors and fuel. Farmers often confess to feeling odd about a program that pays them not to practice their profession. And environmentalists say the program falls far short of its potential. There would be more benefit to the environment, they say, if the USDA could focus on particular rivers or wildlife habitats and convince farmers in those areas to enroll large blocks of land in the CRP.
Farmers, though, often have other things in mind.
"Most of the landowners who come in and sign up don't really ask, 'What is my payment going to be?'" says Harkrader. They say, 'I've got this problem area, I don't know what to do with it. It's an odd shape. It's out of the way. It doesn't fit my equipment.' They're looking to get rid of their problem areas." -- Dan Charles
Land that no longer produces...pipelines that no longer move oil...shipping backlogs that create shortages.
