Why The U.S. Is Running Out Of Everything

  • The United States is experiencing a shortage in rubber, sand and people. Rubber is a critical raw material needed for car tires, personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves, and many more everyday products. Anytime you’re going anywhere, you’re using rubber. Now, supply chain disruptions have thrown the rubber industry into a tailspin. The global rubber market was valued at nearly $40 billion in 2020, but one analysis predicts the natural rubber market could be worth nearly $68.5 billion by 2026. Rubber producers are facing climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic, a destructive fungus and the fight for shipping containers. “We could be on the cusp of a rubber apocalypse,” Ohio State University professor Katrina Cornish told CNBC.
    Even though sand can be found in nearly every single country on Earth, the world could soon face a shortage of this crucial, under-appreciated commodity. In the last twenty years, sand use around the world has tripled, according to the UNEP. That’s far greater than the rate at which sand is being replenished.
    Additionally, the U.S. is facing an aging population, falling birth rate and economic recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These issues will have huge implications on the size of the workforce and the consumer base.

      @@rbacklas Dude you are so wrong!!!! sure nothing last forever, but things were built way better in the past, everything from building materials to furniture, appliances electronics, vehicles, tools, pretty much everything was built to last longer than it is today. the metals now have such bad alloy mixes they rust out faster, the plywood in the past was way better, the trees they use now are young trees and the layers of veneer delaminate because the glues they use are crap. where have you been!!!! I could name literally hundreds of products and materials that are crap today compared to the past. The reason things are thrown away is because they are in most cases designed to be thrown away. take furniture for example a company will make a nice looking piece of furniture with some decent wood, but will put important structural parts that are made out of particle board into the piece of furniture that will fail so the whole piece of furniture has to be thrown away because it's to much work to repair. TVs used to last way longer in the past your lucky if a TV last more than 5 years now in in the past they use to last like 15 years. Washing machines used to last 20 years now with the cheap plastic automated lock system that keeps breaking and all the other things that go wrong with them they only last for 5 to ten years.

Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely.

    Birth rates aren't a problem. If they were a problem then you wouldn't see a housing shortage crisis with older generations dying off. People are going to have to accept that we built too much of everything. Imagine saying we need higher birth rates to produce more low skilled retail labor. The primary arguments for higher birth rates is producing more low skilled labor & to pay for pensions, none of that benefits young adults who're starting out in life.
    Right now businesses are trying to force their workforce back into the offices because the business owners paid a lot of money for them or are locked into multi year contracts. Does it benefit the workforce to keep the soul crushing rat race ongoing? no.

I did not take any money so they were able to get their business going and my daughter is now a stay at home mom (she was a teacher). She is now part of a homeschool group and is happier! Any teachers at her school had grandparents who took care of their kids while they worked. They work to eventual get a pension when they retire I think.

      It has more to do with people living longer than expected when SS taxes were calculated. On average, Americans used to die earlier, meaning their years of drawing from SS were fewer. However, as medicine has improved, they now live longer. But that also means they draw from SS more years than was originally planned for. On top of that baby boomers have begun to retire so the ratio of retirees drawing from SS vs workers contributing to SS is decreasing. The taxes for SS actually should've been raised decades ago, but it's unpopular politically so politicians have always kicked the SS bill further down the road.

If they just eliminated the income cap on SS taxes that would solve something like 75%-80% of the funding issue. If they eliminated the cap while not associated benefits to the taxes paid on [x] income adjusted annually [say like above $400,000 or so initially,] it would likely solve the entirety of it.

    If you want millennials and zoomers to have more kids, you need to make housing more affordable, make numerous other things more affordable (like healthcare), and increase wages to cover costs and make up for decades of wage stagnation and decline in real wages. Then the wages need to increase to cover inflation.
    That and forgive the student loans that millennials and zoomers were misinformed and miseducated into taking; in a society that made it a de facto requirement to go to university. Of course I would also add lessons in school covering personal finance, especially the powerful effects of compounding interest on debts and investments. Repeat it over and over again like they repeatedly tell kids in school to use condoms, which also contributes to the low birth rates.
    Also get university costs under control. The costs per student were far lower in 1970 and the class of 1970 were not under educated. They had less worthless garbage like worthless administrators and bloated bureaucracy driving up costs while not contributing to students' education or professors' research.

    About lack of births: EVERYONE, and I mean everyone that I know and talk with every day, complain about how their school debts are crushing them and how jobs are almost impossible to find, and the few that you can get don't pay the bills. The result is that they can barely survive, let alone have a kid. If you want people to have kids then you have to pay them double of what you are paying them now. It really is as simple as that.

      And when you double wages then you will increase CPI and such and be right back in the same situation. We are all competing for the same limited resources. Reality is, whether you like it or not, that the main culprit of fertility rate decline is educated women / women in the workplace. Western women have chosen to forgo children for an education and a paycheck and there really isn't a solution for that. Those women are competing in the workplace and increasing labor supply. Before anyone gets triggered, understand that both men and women can work. Only women can have children. This is the catch 22.

    Why do we need to keep growing as a population? Is it ok to plateau and maintain that same amount? Maybe it's something that we need to consider when facing all these other issues. If we don't get away from this "More, more, more" attitude then nothing will be left. I think it's ok to have a sustainable population versus a population that just continues to grow and grow, consuming everything and more.

    Why is no one talking about the medicine supply chain?
    Since covid began many of the manufacturing companies which made morphine, insulin, heart medications, seizure meds and many others were covered to make covid shots, rubber gloves and masks...
    Each country has its own supply, and emergency supplies in stock, but most meds are made in India, not North America...
    Since corporations moved production to 3rd world and poorer nations to increase revenue, they have also left us with a serious supply issues...
    No one is talking about this!!!
    Many pharmacies are not able to completely fill scripts for life saving meds...someone needs to investigate this, inform people before we start seeing the masses dying from things like lack of insulin

    all these media outlets ignoring the giant elephant in the room as to why ppl aren’t having kids-no one can afford it. pay people more, make life more affordable, equitable, make sure everyone has access to affordable housing and higher education, stop corporate greed and evasion of taxation, make sure no one goes without food or healthcare (and stop trying to legislate women’s reproductive health and bodies) and then maybe we will start having families again. until then, we are living through the fall of rome:usa edition
