    I know where an 80 year old man is that would volunteer to come cut wings all day (probably all week) for a small percentage of the day's work...

    Same for us at the welding plant.... The “Chinese” components are available to us, it’s the American made parts that are limited.

    Raw aluminum - our mill is in NC and AL
    Resin
    Plastic components - Silgan in TN

    The irony. I can get Chinese tires way more easy as well. With that being stated they went up 15 % on May 15th.

    Yep. I can get "import" plywood all day. Domestic is almost gone. Makes you wonder.

    I actually had a vendor tell me my parts were on that ship that was stuck in the Suez Canal.

    Sheet metal has tripled since October. There are rumors of a metal shortage coming. My largest sheet metal shop is at 10 week lead time due to people not wanting to work.

    Still not able to get anything foam related. It was like a light switch flipped as soon as Biden took over. I have over 20,000 mattresses to make that we have put on backorder. My business would be up 80% if I could get materials.

Plants are trying to pay them bonus incentives for coming back and staying. However, therein lies another problem. "A problem with extra money?" you say. Yes, the bonus money takes many of them out of the range for their gov't assistance. I can't make this shit up.
    I thought there was a wing shortage due to the freeze in Texas?

    You think chicken processors are only located in TX? Turn off CNN and MSNBC.

    So you're saying if I order one now it might arrive by the time I'm due for another one?

    I have a customer with an OTTAWA yard tractor that's been down a month now due to a bad DEF quality sensor. Part is supposedly on backorder until September...
