You might not have noticed noobtube, in your rush to claim any event as the rapture event you've been wet dreaming over for a decade now, but JIT problems aren't peak oil, nor are they lack of goods. They are lack of JIT delivery. Because of the pandemic, and resulting expectations of expected demand post vaccine gone wrong, these expectations then flowing out in the form of unexpectedly fast demand recovery through the supply chain.
Please don't valid the opinion that peak oilers, who didn't know much at all about resource economics 15 years ago (or geology, or petroleum engineering, or economics at large), also don't know anything about the consequences of JIT delivery and global pandemics, how bout that? Isn't 31 years of egg on face enough already?
To you it's just a temporary blip. You have a first-world mentality. I get it. Your belly is full so why worry about tomorrow? But, that world doesn't really exist, unless you have people to sacrifice. And, those people are disappearing fast.
I remember in January 2020, I had the flu. It was bad... really bad. It was the third time in 1 year. I realized that 'MURICANS were so complacent at the time, that I told everyone who came in contact with me, that I had the flu and was very sick.
At the Post Office, they almost seemed insulted that I would try to warn them.
At the fast food place, they acted as if I told them fruit grew out of my head.
Each time I told them, I was trying to warn them to take precautions. Did they listen? Nope.
Another prepper told me that they wouldn't listen until after the Super Bowl. Whatever the government was going to pull, it would be after that, since 'MURICANS love their football.
Fast forward to March, 2020. The GUB-MINT screamed about a health scare. These same people lost their minds staying home, wearing diapers on their faces, and washing everything in sight.
When I told them, I was crazy. When the GOOBERMINT told them, now it was real.
Another story. After the government shutdown of 2018-2019, I told everyone close to me that shortages were coming. Buy and stock up on anything essential that has a long shelf-life (clothing, equipment, materials, toilet paper, etc.). For a solid year, nothing happened. Once the lockdowns hit, a lot of those people suffered for lack of preps and savings. I could only marvel with another prepper how people are so DAMNED hard-headed, when it comes to their own lives.
After the lockdown, May 2020, I bought like crazy. There was a glut of unsold, top-notch stuff, because 'MURICANS were not prepared for the massive opportunity that those full-to-overflowing store shelves offered.
Fast forward to 2021, shortages everywhere. But, I am more than set for years. In fact, now I can help others who I DECIDE are worth it. No way am I subsidizing morons who think they know-it-all and don't listen and don't cooperate.
People like you just aren't good for society because you expect others to do the hard work and make the sacrifices while you enjoy the benefits.
Peak Oil can't afford people like you.
