Well here in Hickory, NC area I spoke to the Appliance Mgr two days ago. He was upset because he is retired and tells me of strange problems they are having with supply chain issues he never experienced before.
1. He stated a large order for Whirlpool dishwashers (1900 units) that Lowes had placed to supply stores here, they were just informed from Whirlpool, the entire order was cancelled with no explanation?
2. Last week, the Bosch Rep came into store, and told them, what you have in stock at your stores is what you have, that Bosch is NOT taking any new dishwasher orders until February 2022!
He was saying how people ae really getting mad and angry and he can't do anything about it. He agreed with me, in what we have been experiencing across construction industry, there is no expansion or growth going on out there in the US economy as Biden Admin is trying hard to say. The opposite in fact going on, and here in NC, we are already having places re-instating damn covid mask requirements again to even go into their stores...

I and others have said many times in past, Someone needs to takeout Soros. Years ago Jimmie Rogers split from partnership from him because he is Evil and ruins companies- Not supports them as a Shareholder should. I remember years back when CNBC was good, and Mark Haines (RIP) ruled there and Marie Barteroma and other credible journalists once existed; Jimmie would come on and state many things against the grain, much like Trump did to deep state players, but they were not fashionable to special interests then, so Jimmie left the Country in fact to retire... Soros and his followers are pure Evil driven. Maybe this Christmas Star event is more revealing as to what will occur by Christmas morning?? Who knows.
All I know, and as you stated, there is VERY much danger already in play and China cannot be trusted or anyone tied to them NEEDS to be OUT OF POWERFUL Governmental controls (Bidens)...
My brother is a Colonel in Pentagon, 38 years Army vet, and all I can say, is he once told me the US people are so naive and stupid as to what we really are doing 24/7 here (Pentagon) to give them the false sense of freedom they think they have, allthewhile fighting off certain major super powers who want nothing more than to over run the USA...

What is the problem with no new electrical materials at Lowes in NC. Specifically Hickory, NC stores !!??
Yesterday again, I bought what was even on shelves which was (1) box of steel old work boxes some 12-2 w/g RX wire, and and told repeatedly all production has stopped or slowed from PVC makers to steel box makers and yet wire is going higher by $10.00/roll from a week ago's price???
Other contractors in area I talk to are so outraged seeing same thing, just basic materials used for service/repair type work and nothing on shelves. A lot of useless fittings and products, but what is really necessary simple not in stock ???

Yes deathstar. I wish more people would wake the F up and ralaize this and what's going on. Living here in NC where Lowes is HQ'd, the Governor makes me sick and Lowes feeds his re-election campaign and as a contractor it is very obvious what they have done.
This Liberal Governor (Roy Cooper), likes Lowes, does not give one flying Fk what happens to the contracting small business community out there working through all of this BS pandemic since day 1.... He continues to keep small businesses closed, leaves all ABC State Stores open as "essential businesses", yet refuses to allow any private bar or similar to open still and many are already out of business...

Markets are crooked. Lowes is crooked. Own a part of them if you think they are an upstanding US company. I personally, as a Licensed contracting firm, DO NOT !
Like the stimulus & SBA fraud program, we are forgotten out there, Lowes CEO selling all store PPE to China for 600%+ markup, and is a Communist Sympathizer as I see it and committed treason to the USA !!!
