SIMPLE Things are beginning to break. Just an observation.

To add to the sensational stuff like ground crew getting sucked into jet engines (yes that happened just a few months ago) now just for giggles I like tracking my packages. I’ve been ordering stuff for years. I remember how packages could be tracked in a pretty straight line across the country from hub to hub. Now I see lots of back tracking. Packages stalled for days in a hub. I’ve even watched stuff sail right on by and go until it hits one of the coasts. As an indicator I believe it’s a pretty good sign that even if they would call us all “Bigoted Fascists” because we don’t celebrate people’s personal life choices with the acceptable zeal, that the competent ones are indeed Going Galt. Even if they don’t know there’s a name for it. And I must admit that everytime Jeff Bezos fails to get me my widgets in 48hours…..I giggle inside just a bit.
Does anyone else have some observations and indicators?

    I have noticed both those things, too.
    The latter is probably indicative that the cost of doing so via computer is very small.

    I’ll add that store bought produce not being anything like it used to be. Once you get it home you better consume it in 2 days or it’s rotten. Transportation or getting it out of the fields is definitely malfunctioning.

    So in this era of Climate Change despite their inconsolable fear and demanding everyone pitch in they’ve somehow managed to make “the system” LESS efficient.

    And we haven’t even felt the IMPACT of the EV Big Rigs yet! That’s going to be a shit show. Can’t wait.
    I hope they don’t lose my popcorn.
    XD

    Just a PS….my father had a 1979 Pontiac Sunbird. Four cylinder, manual transmission, rear wheel drive. Carburetor. No A/C. I used to calculate the fuel mileage for him. That thing got 49MPG once. And regularly broke 40mpg. We KNOW how to get vehicles to be fuel efficient. Or KNEW rather. But THEY Effed it all up. I don’t care how much “emissions” devices they put on a vehicle. Less fuel burned is less pollutants in the air……period. It’s not about the environment to THEM. Never was. It’s all about the money and control. My point is everytime THEY don’t let the free market drive change THEY make the very thing they’re allegedly concerned about worse.
    OK rant off.

    I've had similar issues with packages. One actually made it all the way to my town, then took off again hundreds of miles away before finally coming back.

    On another track, my doctors tend to send me a plethora of reminders for my appointments, requesting confirmations. I might get a text, email and phone call about the same appointment. It makes me wonder if they have a LOT of trouble with people just not showing up.
