Truckers were going broke a few weeks ago-how can they make it now? |

Many are parking their rigs.
Some I chatted with today say they think that a diesel fuel shortage will bring truck traffic to a halt soon.
I can only assume the same would be true of the railroads.
Get at least a week's worth of storable food, as food deliveries will halt if that is true.

6. I heard today that FEMA is really adding to the mess. |

Trucks that normally carry groceries throughout the country are being diverted to Louisiana. I know they need help down there, but how long can the supply chain be disrupted nationwide before the pain spreads to everyone?

I went to the grocery store tonight. I bought one of the last jugs of milk. They had half of the bread that they normally have and all of their beef expired today.
