>>>...If some of us are 100% certain that there will not be any problems with the

should take now because of these possible shortages, that we could not take next
January and February.<<<

I think these are two separate issues rather than an if/then question as you stated here:


I completely agree. There should almost be two discussions, one for those who believe there will be no problems with utilities and one for those who believe that there will be massive disruptions of essential services.

The global supply chains/chemical industry breakages may be a major problem, but will not lead to the kind of civil unrest and disorder as predicted by some on this thread unless they cannot be fixed in a reasonable amount of time.
