One simply does not screw around with the supply lines. They are not "glamorous" but they keep the thin veneer of civilization functioning. Every singly thing in a large city was brought there on a truck and I do mean everything. The light bulbs, the furniture, the groceries and even the cement and the steel that make up every single skyscraper. All brought there on a truck.
From MSN/Bloomberg:
Truckers Wary of New York Deliveries Create Headache for Grocers
Delivering food to New York City’s supermarkets isn’t easy even in normal times. Now, it’s become a supply chain conundrum that’s testing the nerves of grocers, truckers and manufacturers alike.
Some truckers are refusing to carry orders into the city and surrounding suburbs like New Rochelle that have been hard hit by the coronavirus, even as demand for groceries is double or triple normal levels as shoppers stockpile soup and other everyday goods.
There is no evidence that food is growing scarce in the city. But one index, which measures loads of all types of goods destined for Brooklyn that were rejected by shippers, has tripled compared with the same time last year, reflecting carriers’ inability or unwillingness to haul loads into the epicenter of the outbreak.
This pandemic might be just the thing we needed to wake people up. The deep state is not our friend.
