Half of squareD is coming out of Brazil with plants spread out almost to the border with Bolivia and the rest is Asia....used to be eurotrash France or Germany. But they don't have the juice to produce stuff like they used to. So the production moved.Grand time to John
all my suppliers do is b*tch about some ship lost in the pacific.....

Gotta be the shipping costs.
I was talking with several various businesses and they are telling me that their labor costs have skyrocketed as well. Not just more expensive per man/hr but the production of that labor has fallen massively. What used to require 2 hrs now requires 4-5.
I'm OK with switching from coal to other fuels because coal puts too much mercury into the surrounding area which has disastrous consequences like birth defects. Scrubbers work and so does "clean coal tech" (nothing more than turning coal into diesel before using it) but the Jax(byproducts) doesn't really have an aftermarket like drywall is with coal ashes.
So I dunno....but they better figure it out soon.
