I'm sure you guys know more then them.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best or don't. I'll be fine and so will my family if it happens.
And yet the markets are not panicing. Some news reports which to be honest you probably didn't read beyond the click bait title or if you did, you just skimmed through without understanding.

As for the Trucker shortage, that is mostly a UK thing, get rid of the Poles and Romanians you rely on to keep wages cheap and that happens. We have been undergoing a shortage here but that's been going on for years. Not enough to start having to shoot Mutant Zombie Bikers to protect your bug out location.

Like seriously, did you even read the article because your reaction has nothing to do with the content of the article. Or perhaps you figured nobody would actually check the source.
So you have made all these efforts for a huge nothing burger but we are all a bunch of stupid ignorant cunts worthy of your sarcasm.
Also posting stuff that doesn't support your position is both insulting to your audience and doesn't put you in a good light.
Going to a bugout location and packing 2 years of supply won't make cars and products with computer chips any less expensive.
