[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5412808, member: 70932"] Um. I only listed 7. Yes, the perfect storm. If only a few happened, the economy could have absorbed them. But, they all happened almost at the same time. [I]1. disrupted global supply chains (including domestic supply constraints and the shortage of semiconductor components) 2. demand (fueled in part by stimulus money and low interest rates) quickly outpaced supply 3. Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine 4. what’s going on in China 5. many firms are more cautious about ramping up production 6. A deadly avian flu 7. a severe drought in Brazil[/I] And I never said in the next few months. As a matter of fact, if you actually read the posts, I said in the near term, no. You're point was that these high prices will never come down. They will only go up from here due to Built-in inflation. I said these high prices will eventually go down when the factors that have caused this high inflation are rectified. In the near term, no. Within the next year or two, probably. And these prices will probably still be high during contract negotiations. So, if the Company is not willing to negotiate our pay scale fairly, a strike is not out of the question. See, this whole discussion is on topic. Inflation, wages, price of goods, contract and strike. All correlate together. [/QUOTE]
