G'day folks,
As I said, it is going to be a hell of a ride.
Yup! And all the indications so far are, that it'll put
any previous international crisis in the shade...
A couple of positives, at least, are likely to come out of it though; these being the demise of 'globalisation' [at least in its current incarnation]; and a shift away from the beancounter-driven 'just in time' supply chain model - for essential items like food, at any rate.
A few countries [like the UK in particular] are about to re-learn their WW1
and WW2 lesson; that relying substantially on imported foodstuffs is a model that goes totally pear-shaped, in any international crisis that cuts off/restricts the supply chain...
