Mike Adams details how Iran's alleged bombing of Saudi Arabia's Al-Jubail complex, producing 7% of global petrochemicals, could trigger a catastrophic supply chain collapse. This destruction would halt fertilizer and plastic production, causing doubled polyethylene costs in Asia and bankruptcies for Indian manufacturers while granting China a strategic advantage via Russian feedstocks. Combined with Strait of Hormuz closures, these events create a "Mad Max" scenario of extreme scarcity and skyrocketing prices, compelling listeners to prepare through self-reliance, off-grid living, and stockpiling essential supplies.

The Al-Jubayil Petrochemical Hub00:15:19
The largest industrial city in the world spans over a thousand square kilometers.
And it's in Saudi Arabia.
And it's called Al-Jubayil.
Al-Jubayil, industrial city, is the hub where a massive number of industrial chemicals are manufactured.
There are over 300 active industries that operate within that 1,000 square kilometer area.
It produces about 7% of all the petrochemicals in the world.
Including, by the way, chemicals for lubricants, for adhesives, for paint, for personal care products, industrial products, medical products, scientific products, on and on and on.
Remember, we talked about BASF before in Germany, BASF, and how BASF created about 45,000 different chemicals?
That's basically Al Jubail, but in Saudi Arabia.
It's very similar in terms of the the number of products that come out of it.
So it's a massive complex.
Again, a thousand square kilometers, okay?
It produces fertilizer, it produces aluminum, it produces all kinds of chemical products, like I just said.
And it's now on fire.
It's on fire because it's being bombed by Iran in retaliation for Israel, of course, bombing Iran's South Pars gas field.
And it's clear that Israel wants the world to burn.
Israel wants the Gulf states to be destroyed and for Iran to be destroyed.
And even if Saudi Arabia is destroyed, Israel doesn't mind.
And it's on track, actually.
It's on track to do that.
So, what we need to do is to understand the implications of this and how this will be catastrophic to the world's supply chains and economies and consumer products for years to come.
You should also note, by the way, that the Al Jubail complex is connected to the King Fahd Industrial Port, which has 34 berths for large transport ships and an annual capacity of 70 million tons.
So a lot comes out of there.
But very few Americans in particular have ever even heard of this facility, even though your life depends on it.
Your life depends on it.
So, have you ever heard of the company called Sabic?
S A B I C.
It's the world's fourth largest petrochemical company in terms of its output volume annually, and it's headquartered there at Jubail.
There, they produce just the Sabbath Company produces over 135 million metric tons of metals, of chemicals, plastics, fertilizers, polymers, lubricants, I mentioned before, things like that.
It's got the largest independent water and power project on the planet.
They generate 2,743 megawatts of electricity.
That's gigawatts, folks.
It's really stunning.
And 800,000 cubic meters of desalinated water per day.
This is the economic backbone of Saudi Arabia and, to a large degree, of the world.
This is the single most important industrial complex in the world.
Just the Satorp facility at Jubail, it's a joint venture between Aramco and Total Energies.
They alone produce 400,000 barrels of oil per day.
producing fuels, lubricants, petrochemical feedstocks, things like that, that are sent to Asia and to Europe.
So it's not just that if this facility is partially or fully destroyed, it's not just that it would harm the Saudi kingdom, but it would also destroy domestic water and electrical supplies for a much larger region, and it would absolutely gut Saudi Arabia's oil industry.
As well as the global supply chains that depend on all those things I just mentioned.
So, there's another facility there called Sadara Chemical that's a joint venture between Aramco, which is Saudi, and the U.S. chemical firm Dow.
They've already shut down.
So, they have an annual capacity of over 3 million metric tons of chemicals and plastics.
They have already shuttered production and they've publicly stated that they cannot ensure.
when they will ever be able to reopen.
And they said that before this most recent bombing of the complex, which of course is only making things worse.
So what you and I need to understand, and I'm going to cover here in some detail, but I'll try not to bore you with the facts, this is going to impact your life and my life and the lives of every human being living in any modern society around the world.
So, remember that about 20% of the global supply of oil and refined oil products exited through the Strait of Hormuz.
That stopped over a month ago.
So, that's already bad, but that could technically be reopened if there were an agreement for peace.
But what we're talking about now is totally different.
When the facilities are being utterly destroyed, and you could say semi permanently destroyed, Even if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, it doesn't bring those facilities back online.
And just as we saw with Qatar Energy and their announcement that it would take three to five years to rebuild the two LNG trains that have been utterly destroyed that's two out of 14, remember?
But that alone takes 17% of their natural gas production offline for three to five years.
Well, if this Jubail facility gets destroyed, We're talking decades.
We're talking decades.
The rebuild time, again, if it's totally destroyed, which perhaps that's not likely because it's so large, but if it were totally destroyed, it would end global supply chains as we know them, and it would last for decades before it could ever be rebuilt.
In fact, it would be hard to even fathom how it could be rebuilt because you need power and water to have workers there to do the rebuilding, and all the power and water would be offline.
So even with just the minor shutdowns that have happened so far, polyethylene costs in Asia have doubled.
And the bulk prices for polyethylene, the raw materials out of the Middle East, have increased about 50%.
But, you know, double the price on finished products.
So that's only going to get far worse.
So if you need anything in the near future, in the next couple of years, that comes from polymers, That is any kind of plastics, any kind of modern clothing that's made from, you know, rayon or what have you.
Anything that is polymer based is going to go double, triple, quadruple in price, maybe more.
And don't forget that naphtha is also one of the big exports out of the region that's necessary for cracking oil to produce the various grades of fuels.
Even for cracking operations in Asia and other countries, they need the naphtha.
And they can't get the naphtha.
So, one of the biggest ramifications of all of this globally is going to be a cratering of supply chains of petrochemicals and plastics and lubricants.
And I want to talk about lubricants here for a second because this is absolutely critical.
When you don't have lubricants, you can't, you don't have transportation.
Because everything that hauls loads, whether it's trucks on the roads, or the barges up the rivers, or the ships on the ocean, or the cranes that move the containers onto the ships, or the forklifts that unload the containers on the ground, etc., all of these things require lubricants.
And of course, there's engine oil, which is critical, and most of today's engine oil is partially synthetic.
And synthetic engine oils are derived from natural gas.
Did you know that?
I mean, largely.
So there's a component of natural gas in all the synthetic engine oils, even if it's a blend with non synthetic that comes from actual oil.
But usually it's a blend.
And so the trucks won't be able to get any lubricants if this facility is destroyed.
And then, secondly, for all the machinery that's out there, whether it's the forklifts or the cranes or Let's say excavators, skid steers, bulldozers, construction equipment, you name it, tractors for agriculture, they all have grease zirks on them.
And I know because I've spent many hours greasing the equipment on my ranch, you have to grease it every once in a while, like for some parts, every 10 hours of operation.
For other parts, maybe not as often.
But typically, about every full day of operation, you're going to grease a machine.
And in order to do that, you have to get The Greece, obviously, which is a lubricant that depends largely on these petrochemicals coming out of the Middle East.
Now, not all lubricants come out of the Middle East, but what happens is even if you can produce some lubrication products domestically in the United States, the shortage of lubricants out of the Middle East causes global demand for the U.S. made lubricants to skyrocket because there's not that many places left where other countries can get lubricants.
The lubricants they need.
And so prices skyrocket because demand skyrockets for the limited supply.
And that drives up costs for everybody.
So even if you can get the canister of grease or the bucket of grease, I buy grease by the five gallon buckets, by the way.
I have a foot pumped greaser that I use for my equipment because it's so much easier than trying to grease by hand with a hand pumped greaser.
So yeah, I have a foot pumped greaser and I use a giant scoop to scoop the grease into this.
This big container that has a foot pump on it.
Anyway, you got to have the grease because there's, you know, it's difficult to have alternatives to that kind of grease when it comes to high temperature, heavy equipment.
And that's why they have MOLLI formulations, which is molybdenum, which is, you know, it's a specific element that happens to have anti friction properties and, you know, helps prevent wear and tear on moving parts.
So you can't take.
Molly grease and just replace it with, you know, vegetable oil.
It doesn't work the same.
It's not the same.
The grease has to stay in the joints for as long as possible.
That's why it's thick and tacky.
In fact, one of the grease products out there is called, I think, Red and Tacky.
And it's a high-end grease product.
And they have to be able to work at certain temperatures and extremely high pressures.
So without grease, the economy begins to shut down.
Seriously.
A lot of people don't think about this.
If you don't own heavy equipment, you probably don't think about this.
But you've got to grease stuff all the time.
I still remember one day, it was a couple years ago, I was in my own warehouse.
I was checking on the forklifts that we have there, and my staff had purchased a new electric forklift.
I think maybe it was even a Toyota brand.
And they had the forklift for like two months or something.
And it's a really great forklift.
It's all electric, doesn't burn propane, no combustion engine, and it's quiet, right?
So it's great for indoor warehousing as we have at healthrangerstore.com for all of our food warehouses or food warehouse operations.
And I said to one of the foreman workers there, I said, so what's the grease schedule on this forklift?
And they looked at me and they said, this forklift needs grease?
I just about lost it.
Like, didn't the dealer tell you you got to grease this thing?
No.
No, they just sold us.
They didn't tell us anything.
Like, did it come with a manual?
No.
What the hell?
You got to grease the forklift.
And so I pulled out my flashlight because I always carry a flashlight, of course.
And look under the, oh, there's the Zerks right there.
You got to grease these things, brother.
You know?
So I had to tell my own staff about the importance of greasing the forklift.
Fortunately, it had only been a couple of months, so there was no long term damage.
But a lot of people don't even know that equipment has to be greased.
So, you know, if you're running a forklift, or if you're running, I don't know, even a side by side on a ranch, or if you're running a tractor, and you don't know what grease is, you've done a lot of damage to your equipment and you're going to break it.
So, That's how important grease is.
And, you know, everybody in construction is laughing because everybody knows, you know, like if you have an excavator, first thing you do in the morning before you crank it up, you open it up, you check the oil, right?
You check the oil, and then you check the grease schedule.
And you might have to grease certain pivot points.
If you can't do that, then you can't use the equipment.
So if the grease stops, then all the heavy equipment stops almost the next day.
I mean, you can run it a little while.
I'm talking like excavators and things.
You can run them a few days, but you don't want to push it because you'll start wearing out all the parts and the pivot points.
You start breaking it.
And it starts squeaking, too.
It starts to squeal and make weird noises.
That's when you know you've gone too long without greasing it.
Anyway, that's just grease, not to mention engine oil that has to be changed on a very frequent basis.
So you think about these long haul trucks on the highways, the diesel trucks, and they'll do crazy numbers of miles in a year.
Global Manufacturing Supply Chains00:14:54
I don't know.
Maybe they'll do some truckers, might do 50,000 miles a year or more.
Well, the diesel engine has to have the oil changed every I don't know what is it?
What is it?
6,000 miles or something?
You know, maybe 8,000 miles.
I don't know what it is these days because I don't own one of those, but it, you know, you can't run it more than 10,000 miles without changing oil.
You just tear it up the engine.
So the oil has to be changed on a regular basis.
And if you don't have those oils, you don't have transportation.
And if you don't have transportation, you don't have food at the grocery store.
You don't have parts delivered to your local auto supply store.
You don't have deliveries from Amazon.com.
You don't have Home Depot restocked or whatever.
None of that happens.
And so that's when the shelves start to go empty very, very quickly.
Now, we had a scare, I don't know what it was, a year and a half ago.
Maybe it was a couple years ago because of COVID about the engine oil situation.
And that's when I bought some 50 gallon drums of diesel engine oil that I am still sitting on and very happy to do so.
They're sitting in my barn on pallets.
I'm like, yes.
But I'm one of the few people that's ever bought 50 gallon drums of engine oil.
That is a non-commercial.
I mean, I don't run a fleet of vehicles, right?
So it's highly unusual for someone like me to buy that.
But I did.
And I have many, many five-gallon buckets of grease also, enough to last for years of operations.
Plus, I have stored diesel, and I also have a full set of replaceable Zerk pieces, just in case the Zerks break off, which has happened before also.
But I'm a prepper, and what I do is very unusual.
Most people, most truck owners, the owner-operators, most fleet operators, et cetera, they may have a little bit of supply, but they don't have a one-year supply.
Backup supply of engine oil and grease and zerks and tires and everything else.
They don't do that.
It'd just be cost prohibitive for them to do that.
They buy the oil as they need it.
Well, when that oil supply chain stops, the trucks stop.
Done.
So I don't know if that day's coming.
I mean, if we get to peace, like right now, and the Strait of Hormuz opens up again and there's not too much damage done to this facility, then maybe we just go through a very difficult rough patch where prices are high and supplies are scarce, but it's not Mad Max.
However, if this situation continues for months, and more importantly, if there's permanent destruction of these facilities that will take years to bring back online, then you're living in a different world.
You're going to be living through some kind of Mad Max scenario that you thought was just science fiction or Hollywood fiction.
But it's going to become a reality.
So, yeah.
Not good.
South Korean petrochemical producers have already cut their run rates by 50%.
Some have declared force majeure because they can't get the naphtha and they can't get other raw materials or feedstocks from the Middle East, including natural gas.
So you might think, well, you know, we get our fuel or we get our chemicals from Korea, not the Middle East.
Yeah, but Korea is dependent on the Middle East for the feedstock chemicals.
A very similar thing is true in, let's say, Vietnam and Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia.
China, to some degree, also depends on this, although China has a lot of other options, such as turning to Russia.
So China is not in the worst situation here.
It's the smaller countries that don't have their own domestic oil production or oil byproduct production or refineries, etc.
Those are the ones that are going to get hurt the worst.
Now, in terms of large countries getting hammered, India is in a very bad situation right now.
The entire polypropylene unit in Odisha, it's part of the Indian Oil Corporation, it has shut down.
The polyethylene unit in a town called Uttar Pradesh has also completely shut down.
70% of consumer packaging that's produced in India is made from flexible plastics.
But these flexible plastics are basically headed towards a total shutdown because of the lack of supplies coming out of the Middle East.
So because of these flexible plastics, which are used very heavily in the food industry, including in the United States, these production shortfalls are going to hammer the food and beverage industries.
And probably there will be tens of thousands of small manufacturers.
Across India, that will go bankrupt if this continues for a very long period of time.
And that will then deprive the world of a major source of manufacturing of these plastics products that are used throughout Southeast Asia as well as China and Europe and the United States.
So you don't want India to go broke and go offline.
India produces a lot of stuff that's important to the rest of the world, not just plastics, but they also produce tractors and things like that, they produce vehicles.
I mean, They're not great tractors, just to be clear.
I mean, they're tractors made in India.
You need a lot of extra oil because, you know, they leak a lot.
You know, they leak a lot.
But they make tractors, and those tractors are used by a lot of countries in Southeast Asia because they're low-cost tractors.
And yeah, India makes its own low-cost diesel engines.
They leak a lot.
Yeah, the gaskets don't always match up and everything, but they're affordable.
You can even buy those in America.
The brand is called Mahindra, I believe.
Mahindra, which I think means extra leaky.
So that's one thing to keep in mind.
All right, now we've talked about fertilizer shortages before.
I'm just going to reiterate the fact that if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed and if this Al-Jubail facility stays offline for very long, then you're not going to have ammonia, you're not going to have urea, you're not going to have the diammonium phosphate.
etc.
Things are going to get very bad for crops in the world.
Now, let's talk about China for a moment because China has really valuable partnerships with Russia.
And because of that, China can turn to Russia for a lot of things that used to come out of the Middle East for China.
For example, naphtha that we talked about for cracking oil and producing different fuels.
Russia can supply all of that, or virtually all of that, that China needs.
In addition, China uses coal a lot more than other countries.
So China can produce PVC products using just coal instead of oil or naphtha, whereas a lot of other countries that might produce PVC are using, you could say, a more modernized method, but it requires more scarce fuels in order to do it.
So China actually has more redundancy, which is pretty wise.
And since Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, all U.S. allies, are facing extreme shortages of natural gas and other feedstock materials, this is going to give a major advantage to China.
So, think about this, for example China and South Korea compete on battery manufacturing big time.
South Korea has a lot of technology.
They've got car companies like Hyundai and Kia, and they've got even heavy equipment manufacturing.
And so on.
A lot of big industries there.
But if they can't get the materials they need, then they're not going to be able to produce.
Whereas China next door will be able to continue producing things like batteries.
And ultimately, that's going to put South Korean large conglomerates out of business if this goes on very long.
So South Korea could be facing dire economic consequences that can be largely avoided by China.
Now, in the United States, In the U.S., we actually produce some fairly sizable amount of our own petrochemicals, including some lubricants and chemicals that are used for things like coatings and paint and medicine, etc.
But Most of that relies on natural gas.
And even though we do produce natural gas domestically, the global price pressure on natural gas will raise those prices to the manufacturers in the United States.
So just because we make something in the U.S. doesn't mean it's going to be cheaply available to us, to our own industries, because it's a global commodity.
So the world determines the price.
And if you're a natural gas company in America and somebody in the U.S. is going to pay you, let's just say, $1 per cubic meter, Which is actually not that expensive, but let's just say $1, versus somebody in Europe is willing to pay you $3 per cubic meter.
Who are you going to sell it to?
You're going to sell it to the Europeans because they're more desperate.
They're willing to pay more money.
You're going to make 300% more or whatever the additional profit margin is.
So it's the global demand on gas that is going to drive these prices through the roof for domestic manufacturers and producers and consumers in the United States.
Now, in addition, in addition, Because of the Strait of Hormuz being closed and because of the semi permanent damage that's being inflicted upon these various facilities, including Qatar Energy and Jubail, you're going to be dealing with a logistics cluster, cluster bleep.
That's the best way to describe it.
So global logistics are going to be a freaking nightmare.
For a long time to come, at least for the rest of this year, probably well into 2027, and perhaps even for a couple of years.
And that's if things begin to settle down right now, and there's no indication that they will.
So, supply chains are going to be wrecked, which means there will be long delays to get the supplies that you need to make the things that your company sells, which means that suppliers are going to be wrecked, manufacturers are going to be wrecked, you're going to see layoffs, you're going to see bankruptcies, you're going to see cash flow emergencies.
You know, emergency lending to keep us afloat while we're waiting for the raw material to show up.
You know, we're waiting on the polyethylene or something like that, right?
So you're going to see small businesses, manufacturing, supply chains, logistics, distribution, smaller operations are going to go bankrupt like crazy over the next year because they don't have the depth of product diversity or the cash flow or assets in order to make it through.
So just as I said earlier, you could see tens of thousands of companies go belly up in India.
You're also going to see something similar in the United States and Europe and Canada and Australia, etc.
Massive bankruptcies.
You'll see this in Korea and Taiwan and Japan as well, and New Zealand and probably Mexico.
You're going to see a COVID level, like times 100, wave of bankruptcies that will afflict our world for potentially years to come.
As a result, did you know that, for example, car manufacturers, Toyota, let's say, depends on over 100,000 suppliers. to be able to get the parts to make one truck.
And each of those suppliers has all these other inputs that it needs in order to make whatever it provides.
And so as the supply chains go haywire, then the larger manufacturers that build complex products, like let's say Boeing or military manufacturers, I already mentioned Toyota, but think about car companies.
Think about construction.
Think about construction equipment.
Think about complex electronics, things like that, manufacturing for industry.
All of these machines that have thousands of parts in them are going to be virtually impossible to make for a long time.
And some of those companies are going to go out of business.
How do you make appliances if you're missing two parts out of 2,000 and you just can't get the two parts because it's all blown up in Saudi Arabia?
That's where this is headed.
And no, Trump didn't think about any of this.
He doesn't know any of this.
Trump just kind of lurched into this war, having no idea, I think, about the ramifications of what this is going to unleash.
Effectively, these bombings on the Al Jubail complex could be considered the destruction of the backbone of the global industrial ecosystem.
Let's put it that way.
If this facility is destroyed, which Iran seems to be promising to do if the attacks continue against Iran, and Trump is promising to continue to attack Iran, then the world will be facing, again, this is an if, if this facility is largely destroyed, the world will face a decade long scarcity Mad Max scenario in fertilizers,
plastics, packaging.
Textiles, automotive components, manufacturing components, medical supplies you name it.
A Decade of Fertilizer Scarcity00:02:55
You name it.
Plus, all kinds of things involved in energy and lubrication, like I already mentioned.
Just figure 10 years, the world will not have these things or will have a very, very limited supply that will be almost impossible to get.
And if that happens, then life as you know it will cease to exist.
Your world will change in ways that you cannot imagine.
Like the inability to get replacement parts for your lawnmower, let's say.
All the homeowners across the country, the homeowners' associations, are going to have to change their rules about mowing lawns because nobody can get lawnmower parts, that kind of thing.
And that's almost a joke compared to the more consequential things like, oh, and also there's no food delivery to your local grocery store.
Right.
That has a big impact on nations.
Now, I'm not saying that all the shelves will be empty.
I'm just saying that deliveries are going to get very expensive and the scarcity is going to get a lot worse.
And because so many people live on the edge of affordability for food, this is going to tip them over the edge into basically famine via the economics of it.
They won't be able to afford to buy the food that they need to not starve.
That's where this is headed.
Yeah, there might still be food on the shelves, it's just most people won't be able to afford it.
A pound of hamburger, $50 or $100, who knows?
Depends on how crazy this gets.
And right now, Trump has it on crazy path.
It's like the full crazy payload is loaded up and ready to unleash on the world.
And effectively, Trump and Netanyahu are burning down the world to try to punish Iran, to try to get Iran to capitulate.
And Iran, you can't blame them, they're saying no.
No, we're not going to capitulate because if we surrender, then we lose everything.
Then we lose control over the strait.
We lose the ability to manufacture our own nuclear weapons for self-defense.
We lose our own leadership.
We lose our country.
We lose our culture, 5,000 years plus of history.
No.
Persia is saying no.
And again, you can't blame them.
So as a result, Trump and Netanyahu are going to burn down the world, and you are going to pay the price.
You and me, we're going to pay the price in not being able to get the things that we are used to getting in order to function with our cars, our trucks, our equipment, our food, our house repairs, our consumer products, our clothing, our tennis shoes, whatever.
It's going to affect all that.
Preparing for a Broken World00:02:57
Which really only underscores the importance of living in the most self-reliant way possible, which is, of course, one of the principles I teach all the time anyway.
So you're wise to get as off-grid as possible, as decentralized as possible.
You're wise to grow as much of your own food as you can.
And you're also wise to use microbiology to replace a lot of synthetic fertilizers if you can.
You're wise to do composting.
You're wise to do things like, I don't know, have you ever heard of burying logs and wood under dirt piles and then planting in the dirt?
I forgot the name for that, but over time the wood releases a lot of nitrogen.
And so you can use dead trees as a source of fertilizer.
These kinds of techniques are going to become incredibly important in the years ahead.
And I should mention that if you want to learn about those kinds of things, You can do it for free.
Just go to my book website, writelearn.ai, and I've actually got news for you there.
Not only have we very nearly reached 50,000 books that you can download for free, and you can create your own book at any time completely free, but also we now have 200 audiobooks that are done, and they're all downloadable completely free.
200 audiobooks.
So now at the moment you have to download them one at a time, so it's a little bit cumbersome, but I'm going to.
I'm going to fix that.
I'm going to have like bulk download capabilities in place where you just enter your email address, you know, you just register and then you get a bulk download.
Like that's coming.
I just need time to work on it because I know it's kind of annoying to, you know, individually download 200 different books, right?
So we're going to fix that and give you bulk downloads.
But in the meantime, you can go there.
Just go to books.brightlearn.ai, find the books you want, download the PDFs, or download the full audiobook for the 200 that are available.
And if you don't find the book that teaches you how to grow food and how to get decentralized and live, you know, more self, in a more self-reliant lifestyle, then ask it to create the book that you want.
And it will do that for you at brightlearn.ai.
So, in the meantime, of course, you can buy food from us if you want clean, lab tested, certified, organic, storable food packaged for long term, long term viability, especially with the freeze dried products that we have in the number 10 steel cans that are sealed.
You can shop with us at healthrangerstore.com.
Healthrangerstore.com.
And if you want to get prepared in other ways, check out all the preparedness options that I. I've made available for you with discount codes at rangerdeals.com.
3D Printing in Extreme Shortages00:03:14
And usually the discount code there is Ranger, which is pretty easy to remember.
And that would get you discounts on all the different providers there that have different things like the satellite phones and the de-Googled phones and the therapeutic peptides that you can stockpile because some of those are freeze-dried too.
It's called liphalized.
That just means freeze-dried.
And they last for years.
So you can stockpile all kinds of things if you want.
But the bottom line is get ready for the world to break.
The global supply chains, as you and I have known them our entire lives, are going to break.
Worse than COVID, far worse than COVID.
And honestly, very few people have any idea that this is coming.
They just don't know.
They won't know until it hits them.
And when it hits them, it's too late because by that time, the supply chain pipeline is totally depleted.
So, you know, the day that the average American shows up, At the auto parts stores, like, how come you don't have the parts?
You know, the employee working there would be like, dude, you're not going to see those parts for six months if we're lucky.
It's like, what?
Yeah, you should have come here, you know, two months ago.
We had parts and we don't have those parts anymore.
You know, for some of the parts.
I'm not saying everything will be gone, but of course, it'll be the parts that you need that will be gone, right?
Because it always works that way.
The thing you need is a thing that's no longer in existence.
So that's when a lot of people are going to turn to 3D printers, by the way.
They're going to figure out how to print their own stuff.
Yeah.
It's actually going to be a kind of a renaissance in 3D printing, I think.
But I guess I'll cover that in another podcast.
You're going to have to buy filament and then 3D print the stuff that is no longer available, including 3D printing your own gaskets and things from special filaments that are now possible to use.
And then there's AI controlled 3D CAD programs now.
You don't have to learn AutoCAD.
You can describe what you want, or you can take a picture of what you want.
You feed it into AI systems, and then they'll render the I think it's like a 3D vector file that the printer will print.
So there's a lot of interesting stuff that's going to come out of this as people suffer extreme shortages, and then they innovate new ways to get the things that they need.
And of course, I've done a lot of 3D CAD design with the 3D printers a few years back.
And I've been watching 3D printing technology ever since then.
It hasn't advanced much, but there are a couple of promising new printers on the market that might be more interesting.
I'll take a look at it.
If I think there's anything that can benefit you, I'll let you know about it.

Here's some of the buckets.
There's a big variety available.
Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.

They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food.
So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially again, certified organic freeze dried.
That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of a storable food format.
All of this is available right now and so much more.

They're going to last a very long time.
With good preservation, long shelf life, and they will have value no matter what happens in the world.
Now, of course, I'm praying for peace, I'm praying for de escalation.
I don't want to see World War III break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear.
But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations.
Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week?
Disruptions could happen here in the United States.
There could be domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in the US.
