Very important information: global shipping movements collapse
I have had my eye on this situation for some weeks since I came across news that shipping movements were falling dramatically and this trend has since continued. What this means, of course, is that goods are not being shipped around the world on anything like the scale we have been used to and this is going to bring first a reduction in choice and variety in the shops and then, as the global economy continues to collapse, a shortage of more basic needs.
Without rushing out in a panic-stricken state and emptying the supermarket shelves, I would suggest that this is certainly a time to start building a stock on non-perishable foods because, as I keep pointing out, this is an economic catastrophe in the unfolding and we need to tune ourselves to the new world that is coming, at least in the next few years, when the basic needs are going to be far more at the forefront of our thoughts than the insane consumerism that has, well, consumed us.
I don't normally give advice, but I feel to in this case: Think about your basic needs at a time of shortage and start preparing for that before its too late. The shops are not going to be empty tomorrow, but why wait until they are?
