Where are y’all finding best prime rib at? What price per lb?

This is why I enjoy the OB; men helping men discuss important issues. Thank you for commenting.

What general area of E.Feliciana? I’m in Norwood area and haven’t seen chasing yet.

That was panic buying, based on cries of gun control efforts by Dems. The panic buying hit the munitions industry that at the time, was just barely keeping up with supplying the ongoing wars with OIF/OEF and civilian demand.

What we have now is a true dearth of basic components due to European NATO countries giving up their primary supplies and the US giving up large reserve supplies of munitions to the Ukraine disaster.

Also keep in mind that we supply hundreds of nation-states so the war machine keeps churning.

Good mantra is to have limited variants of weapons platforms with enough ammunition to supply your target shooting/competition/hunting needs for at least 3 years. Not always practical, but it’s what we (USA) used to base projections on for 2 theater wars…just take it as trusted info we do not practice such wisdom any longer.

Beautiful food plot

You’re correct on what you’re seeing…the problem with the future re: civilian ammo sales is that it’s like a stalled vehicle on the interstate; the whole interstate is backed up due to one vehicle slowing everything down due to the onlookers causing the traffic jams…our problem is not the current inventory, it’s the multiple vehicle pile up coming due to unending wars feeding the MIC and eating up stockpiles while the lack of components caused by logistics issues still ongoing from 2020.

Not crying sky is falling but it’s about to be a heavy downpour.

I work in a field involved in the military munitions sector; shortages are real and ammunition plants are either going 24/7 and/or being restarted.

The decline in just U.S. munitions inventories due to these never-ending excursions overseas has put the U.S. inventory in a bad way.

It trickles down to the civilian market as components for 155/105 mm artillery rounds puts a pinch on small-arms components and then in turn that available to civilian market.

This is real and NOT a marketing ploy. We drew down our arms manufacturing capacity and in turn the logistics capacity on way out of Afghanistan and now everyone and their momma is looking for components due to their sell out to supply Ukraine.

Watching this guy over last couple years…sleeper on defensive line and feel like he’ll be a great force with more focus on technique - he uses his physical abilities to dominate in HS.

Those little bulldozers can’t help themselves so we got this…12 down and garden appreciates it.
