[QUOTE="Ukjay, post: 6864917, member: 51920"] May I ask if you actually know how the full supply chain works, as you appear to paint a rather simplistic view on how it can be expedited in such a situation? Supermarkets did actually run out of numerous items due to the massive demand hikes during the panic buying, as their demand models would not have had such demand in the databases. This then resulted in numerous various levels of outages of certain stocks across the country for several weeks until rationing came into affect and the new buyers model was evolved and suppliers could react for the easy to turn on materials. White goods were out of stock in nearly all of the UK as people mass panic purchased freezers, bread makers etc to ram them to the gunnels with foods... So you are wrong that they coped just fine.. Towards your point of endless money supplies, sadly money doesn't get you out the sh!t when you are dealing on a global market with every country raising the demands for various raw materials... If stocks are not their, it takes time to get the wheels rolling and ships etc delivering. Oh, and there is a major shortage of skilled LGV drivers to add to the problems.. My concern is that you may have the other extreme once the mad rush is over and there is overstock. Will Farmers feel the blunt of this scenario - as the supermarkets look to offset their loss via their supply chain? [/QUOTE]
