re: How bad is inflation and economic collapse about to be?

The only harvest seine/net manufacturer relies on China to get corks for the nets and has a huge backlog to get nets made because he is out of corks and his order is somewhere out there on a container ship and has been for 2 months. We have to steady patch old dry rotted nets we already own just to get by. I’m almost at the point of cutting off the corks of old nets and telling the manufacturer to use those corks on my new nets
