- The United States is experiencing a shortage in rubber, sand and people. Rubber is a critical raw material needed for car tires, personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves, and many more everyday products. Anytime you’re going anywhere, you’re using rubber. Now, supply chain disruptions have thrown the rubber industry into a tailspin. The global rubber market was valued at nearly $40 billion in 2020, but one analysis predicts the natural rubber market could be worth nearly $68.5 billion by 2026. Rubber producers are facing climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic, a destructive fungus and the fight for shipping containers. “We could be on the cusp of a rubber apocalypse,” Ohio State University professor Katrina Cornish told CNBC.
Even though sand can be found in nearly every single country on Earth, the world could soon face a shortage of this crucial, under-appreciated commodity. In the last twenty years, sand use around the world has tripled, according to the UNEP. That’s far greater than the rate at which sand is being replenished.
Additionally, the U.S. is facing an aging population, falling birth rate and economic recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These issues will have huge implications on the size of the workforce and the consumer base.

What The Rubber ‘Apocalypse’ Means For The U.S. Economy

Why The U.S. Is Running Out Of Everything
People are having "fewer children," partially, because the cost of living, cost of groceries, and cost of gas, is climbing to an all time high .
The dating market has deteriorated as well.
I don’t see it as a bad thing. The more we populate, the more food, water and land we consume. The rise in poverty. People have children they can’t afford to take care of.
Lord KNOWS how expensive it is to raise a child.
Not only that, it's because of that Agenda 21. The "One Child," policy.
@@curtisducati that too.
"people are having fewer children"
*Fails to address the fact that cost of living and inflation are insanely high, while wages have not kept up with them for decades*.
They didn't fail to address it. They outright ignored it.
Facts don't support their reckless breeding narrative.
people are having fewer children but still the human population has tripled in the last 70 yrs. There are too many of us consuming and polluting at an alarming rate. Natural resources are limited.
That's just the excuse that people give. The real reason that I find is that they just don't want kids, either out of fear or the responsibility. Women now value careers over kids, pretty much a path to future poverty.
EVERY company out there is a rip off artist. There is not ONE business that worries about the worker, his family and his expenses. If your not getting the money you need to support your family, its time to quit and move on. Tell the boss, I am a professional in my field, but if you don't pay me, what I am worth, your can look else where. I am here to support my family, not fill your pockets full of money. If you can understand that, then maybe we will get along. If not, don't waste my time.
Fiat currency ended this way throughout history, but it will end differently this time. Insanity.
I refuse to bring children into a world that I myself can barely survive in.

@@ni12907 the same god that murdered children by the hundreds in the first few chapters, right?

Maybe, just maybe, our economy shouldn’t be based so heavily on consumerism and mass consumption. All the problems we now face, from data mining to environmental issues to waste management is all a byproduct of basing everything on trying get that population to buy things they don’t really need.
Amen!
But how else are billionaires going to get their 20th yacht or 10 mansion?
@@calebcoffey7955 - They probably wouldn’t want to admit it, but aren’t they trapped at being the biggest consumers of all? They obviously aren’t happy at just being “comfortable” or ever having enough. More, must have more. They just want more expensive things that they don’t need.

The supply chain issues were designed by the global elites seeking a New World Order. Everything we are currently experiencing was done on purpose.
Permakulture
They wont, theyre not even worth sustaining i say inject em all
Yes I wish governments would prioritise keeping agricultural land for agriculture instead of ‘planting’ houses! The idea property as an alternative to a pension or financial instrument is critically short sighted compared to instead of investing money in sustainable development and innovation.
@@politicjunkee Easy there naze... Its always the jewish people to blame with you white christians.
The shortage of intelligence, long-range planning, and simple human compassion are our most pressing problems.

The answer to every question of "how could this happen" is capitalism.
@@stinger15au astute.
I would agree with you if everyone had a say in how things were run but we don't. A few people tell everyone else what to do and I think that's the most pressing problem.
especially in washington dc
Heavy on the shortage of intelligence.
The problem is that everything became about money instead of using our resources wisely in building tech that would help the world.
Exactly, spot on my friend. And it's sad.
It's called greed
Actually the resources might include USA corporations selling to China or others instead of our Own needs.
That sounds deep if you're a teenager.
The reality of the situation is that people generally want to take care of themselves and do better for themselves. This requires resources and nobody is going to get you those resources without compensation.
Duh... the 1% are notably greedy!
Everything boils down to "but for a moment, we created massive profits to our shareholders".
"Rubber ducks are plastic"

@@willengel2458 what??
Not a mention that companies are engineering products to fail.. Things that used to last 20 years last 10 or less just an example.
@@rbacklas This throw away society is a generational issue. Some young men don’t know how to work with their hands because some of their fathers were too lazy to pass down that wisdom. We can’t be an efficient society if generations aren’t passing down knowledge.
@@rbacklas Dude you are so wrong!!!! sure nothing last forever, but things were built way better in the past, everything from building materials to furniture, appliances electronics, vehicles, tools, pretty much everything was built to last longer than it is today. the metals now have such bad alloy mixes they rust out faster, the plywood in the past was way better, the trees they use now are young trees and the layers of veneer delaminate because the glues they use are crap. where have you been!!!! I could name literally hundreds of products and materials that are crap today compared to the past. The reason things are thrown away is because they are in most cases designed to be thrown away. take furniture for example a company will make a nice looking piece of furniture with some decent wood, but will put important structural parts that are made out of particle board into the piece of furniture that will fail so the whole piece of furniture has to be thrown away because it's to much work to repair. TVs used to last way longer in the past your lucky if a TV last more than 5 years now in in the past they use to last like 15 years. Washing machines used to last 20 years now with the cheap plastic automated lock system that keeps breaking and all the other things that go wrong with them they only last for 5 to ten years. I could go on and on in great detail but not going to waste my time
@@rbacklas I built all our furniture, windows doors, kitchen and many other things out of solid West Indian mahogany from scratch. Rated best wood in the world, I got the mahogany trees and milled all the stock and did all my own designs. not to mention I did 3 foot thick stone walls that surround it all with hand picked rocks of all different colors.. I got tired of replacing windows furniture, kitchens, vanities and so on with the crap they build now days. even most of the high end stuff is designed to fail now.. Sure they had crap back in the 80's but now the stuff is even worse now!!!! their is no quality control anymore and it get worse year by year. This is the wood I use, everything I build is 100 percent solid stock. West Indian Mahogany AKA know as Cuban mahogany last forever.. I have slabbed wood from hurricane Hugo that's been sitting in the weather for 32 years and is solid as the day I milled it.. czcams.com/video/CsIBVbNaaI8/video.html
@Bigby Wolf Yep the consumers are getting ripped off
@@rbacklas I don't know how to change a tire and im in my early 30s, but to be fair i rarely drive.
When I was little I remember my 6th grade science teacher saying that the most the world can support is about 8 billion people before we start running out of everything (didn't elaborate how). I'm starting to think the old dude was right.
The world can support more, the problem is most of the world is reliant on just in time manufacturing, i think we only have 90 days worth of food stock pile before everything goes down hill, one problem in the supply chain well cause the entire system to fall
@@azargelin problem is the world run by rich idiots
I heard there are very few humans compared to capacity- study maps - not representative to actual land maps - countries represented aren't shown in actual sizes
One day you will be exhausted of the dire consequences- one day
The world can only support about half of that - 4 billion.
Declining population goes hand-in-hand with declining economic prospects. By the time my parents (late Silent generation) were 25, in the mid-60s, they had a house, kid, car, etc. all on one income, without college degrees. That is impossible, today. Wages haven't kept pace with productivity or prices for 50 years. Until that changes, expect more population decline.
Work ethic also hasn't kept the pace. Too many expecting 30 bucks an hour for unskilled labor when they cant tell you who we fought to earn our independence. Elementary and high school education hasn't kept the pace. We graduate useless idiots to indoctrinate them while they remain stupid. There is no job shortage. There is a labor shortage and it's a lack of labor participation, not lack of people without jobs.
Just last week. I read that America has a surplus of over 3.1 million jobs for its unemployed masses, and that’s the surplus, after the other millions of jobs covers ever single unemployed person in the nation. I wish I was in America 😂
"we're going to run out of innovators and inventors"
Maybe you should either do one of 2 things. Stop making it so prohibitively expensive to obtain a degree, or make more professions accessible to self educated people via a test based application and waive degree requirements.
100%! Imagine if Einstein, Meitner, Huxley, Von Neumann or mme Curie would have to flip burgers and doing stupid online jobs, and still paying 2/3 of income just for housing, and dreaming about "maybe next year I'll get to college". BTW, the Ancient Greek civilization had fewer people altogether than ....let's say greater-L.A.
Move to Florida. Tuition is low for college. Call your governors to lower state tuition or raise the issue of unaffordable tuitions.
You don’t have to have a college degree to be an inventor.
@@kimjones2056 it depends, you need to have access to resources and information, you need a degree or money to get it. The recent changes in the US and EU education/research system makes it nearly impossible to do research without constant push for higher academic titles. No government or private company would sponsor your research if your team has no PhDs.
In the US you can challenge individual courses for credit. Unfortunately, you have to pay full fees for the course you tested out of. It saves time, but not money.
“We need more kids and innovators”
Next
“Our planet is at its max population”
Yep, we’re playing a numbers game and birthing 1000 babies in hopes of getting one innovator. Instead we should create innovators and invest in education…even if that means tuition-free university for all.
No unborn baby would have had the potential to cure cancer with this education system.
That’s the thing we need more useful people not just children being cranked out for the bonus welfare check which is what we are getting mostly. For every 10 children maybe one of them will be useful to the planet so a lot of people need to stop breeding and other ones need to start
@@veronicameeks9056 Also curing cancer is illegal (according to big pharma)
@@piaz2023 Disagree with free university until the drop kick subjects are removed.
There are so many alternatives out there to replace every product imaginable and these "panics" are always created by special interests. We need to stop reliying on monopolies over key markets, the lobbying from corporations will do more harm to the progress of humanity in the long run. We need to diversify our alternatives.
Bring more jobs back to this country and protect the supply lines.
Everyone still in their child bearing years should heavily consider using any and all birth control options available and not have any more babies. Bringing a child into this kind of mess would just be cruel and irresponsible.
I know a lot of people didn't plan to have babies only for everything to turn into a horror show but we need to be smarter about procreation.
At least every other week some media outlet publishes a story about how we aren't having enough babies to keep the economy going.
Well, no one in their right mind is going to consider having a baby now if it means that both parents and child will be suffering.
When things improve, consider the possibility of babies again until then, no more babies.
More people need to start having gardens and taking an interest in agriculture.
We also need to start raising more of stink about how we are taxed at the federal, state and local levels.
Taxation without representation is theft committed by a corrupt and repugnant governing body.
What the rest of the world does is their problem. We have too many of our own problems here that are being blatantly ignored by a self serving government.

I live in Malaysia. A country once the biggest producer of worlds natural rubber. My dad late cousin once owned 50 acres of rubber trees in the rubber haydays of the 80s. Sadly after the mid 90s people started not paying much for natural rubbers. Many rubber farmers gave up and switch to oil palms which were more lucrative. Until today people are still not paying decent price to rubber planters. No farmer in his right mind would plant rubber.
I never knew you could "plant" rubber and never heard of rubber trees. No one in the USA has ever mentioned it.
Well they should all get planting them rubber trees now look at what's happening now.

In the past having babies means more wealth for the family, as soon as the kid hits puberty he/she becomes economically meaningful for the family (in farming or other professions). In the modern day having babies means more financial burdens, a net negative on the family's wealth. This is probably the first time in history where having kids means losing wealth rather than gaining (for the family itself at least).
Having babies don't gain any wealth but more expenses.
@Markus Patients One sees what he wants to see when there is in mind a pre-conceived notion.
It's because America's elections are all bought with dollars by servants of satan... America is under satan's power... All democracies are for sale... that's why America wants to overthrow all countries that satan cannot buy with dollars.
In most states, having more kids means a ton of food stamps and help from the gov.
@Markus Patients ......... Curious you should mention that, as I just read that originally the Southern slaveowners prohibited their slaves from having babies, and just bought more slaves from Africa. But then it occurred to them..... duh!...... that they wouldn't have to 'buy' more slaves if they just let them reproduce naturally........
Many companies throw stuff away and will call the cops on you if you go in their dumpsters to use it and reduce waste. Many cities, like my hometown and college town I live in now, it's illegal to collect waste. Only the private local dumpster companies can, so they basically got a monopoly. And it results in a ton of things getting wasted.
Doesn't stop me though...
Edit: If you want to know, I mainly look for scrap metal. But sometimes people throw away stuff like clothes, furniture, working appliances, etc. There's lots of things I've found that I use. The best thing I found was a sports bag with Nike shoes, including L23s and Air Jordans, and I kept them because they're my size
the evil is too much they can make a law that those thrown in such a manner can be distributed to the needy and they can even create repair shops and jobs on them,they can even create recycling plants and employ people with basic free simple training,for that they need to make land available for cheap which is another constraint.they can make laws to utilize free lands or take lands to utilize them for low costs
Thats a disgusting way of dealing with extra stuff. But thanks for giving me a idea. (Im not gonna do anything stupid.
Is the dumpster owned by a private individual or by the government?
@@civilengineer3349 Mostly private companies. All retailers and fast food chains have so much waste that could be repurchased but they won't allow that because it doesn't bring in more profit.
I know a few dumpster divers! 👍

*Great video. We all strive towards financial stability and a better life. It is easy to achieve this through the right investment, by living frugally and budgeting. I’m glad I learnt early in life to work hard for financial freedom*
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment, is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely.

My mother went to a four-year university. Her tuition for her entire four years was $3200.00. FOUR YEARS! Now, you can't pay for books and two classes at most with 3200.00 bucks. No one can afford to broaden their education when it's so unattainable at this point because of costs-unfortunate times.

Learn a trade. Enroll in Job Corps if eligible. Set up your own apprenticeship. Enlist in the military and get an MOS that’s going to be useful when you get out. Stay home and work full time. Combine your income to help support your family. That’s how most cultures did it except in the US. Traditional college right out of high school isn’t a feasible model.

We had invested in wars around the world instead of manufacturing , growth and economy and now we are paying very high price. And more wars continue . We dont learn anything do we .
Unfortunately investing in manufacturing simply lowers the price they can sell things for. But manufacturing for wars? That's very profitable. Corporations follow money like flies follow rotting meat. Anything else is theatrics.

Birth rates aren't a problem. If they were a problem then you wouldn't see a housing shortage crisis with older generations dying off. People are going to have to accept that we built too much of everything. Imagine saying we need higher birth rates to produce more low skilled retail labor. The primary arguments for higher birth rates is producing more low skilled labor & to pay for pensions, none of that benefits young adults who're starting out in life.
Right now businesses are trying to force their workforce back into the offices because the business owners paid a lot of money for them or are locked into multi year contracts. Does it benefit the workforce to keep the soul crushing rat race ongoing? no.
Birth rates are a problem. But right now the old people arent old enough to solve the housing crisis.
@Skynet wrong
@likexbread "infinite growth" necessitates infinite workers and infinite consumers. 🤷 And if people think that the latter two are untenable and unsustainable... Then we have to admit that the current ideology of "infinite economic growth" isn't sustainable either, but I don't think people are ready to accept that
@likexbread Different kind of issues.
For the sake of our environment it would be better if at least 6 billion people would just drop dead.
But if there aren't enough children, then we don't have enough people working in care for the rising percentage of old people. Then we also don't have enough people to generate our pensions....
If the birth rate is too low, that means poverty for everyone involved :(

Just another example of when in your supply chain you go for the cheapest cost as your supplier. Everyone gravitates to the cheapest producer, which creates a single point of failure in supply chains. If you don't have oil, buy it from 6 countries and blend the pricing. Same with rubber. Buying from multiple suppliers insures that any one supplier cant totally mess with you. Even though companies supposedly have bought from the cheapest supplier, we are all paying more because our supply chains are fragile. Better to have paid more in the past but kept more supply available. That extra cost can be thought of as insurance. It's as simple as "don't put all of your eggs in one basket".

The costs are too high to have kids (the wages are too low iow) but what about clean water, water wars, pollution, consuming, global warming etc.
Noone brings this up when they say "keep breeding'. They also are fine with institutional care for infants. 9-5 job (who does that anymore) means 8-6 your infant gets raised by a stranger who gets paid way less than you usually. Their day is so full of 'putting out fires' 15 diapers 3x a day, 15 babies napping at once , yogurt and applesauce and snot off tables and plates and spoons, (3 people but remember lunch and breaks for 3) that is all the love your infant toddler gets for a whopping 7.50-12 an hour. Corporations don't want kids who care and voila, a daycare where noone is is perfect for that.
There are regulations for babies and toddlers in daycare. One person per 2 babies. But I do get your point. It used to be that grandparents took care of the kids while the parents worked. My daughter worked for a few years and I took care of my 2 granddaughters. Their dad wiorked at home and was in the garage or in his office but he was always available to say hi and eat lunch. I did not take any money so they were able to get their business going and my daughter is now a stay at home mom (she was a teacher). She is now part of a homeschool group and is happier! Any teachers at her school had grandparents who took care of their kids while they worked. They work to eventual get a pension when they retire I think. I personally could not take my kids to a daycare and was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom ho could always volunteer for things at their school.
Great piece that prompts a few thoughts: First is the entire premise of the need for 'consumers' when it is comsumerism that created the problem in the first place. When you consider the first two segments on rubber and sand, the entire problem has been the result of insatiable consumerism: the desire for more cars, bigger homes, more disposable electronics, etc. The only way to 'solve' this is a fundamental shift in our economic system, which, unfortunately, will never happen. The result is a societal collapse in our lifetime.
A second point to make in reference to few people means more job popportunities, in the vacuum created in this piece that ignores the role of AI i eliminating many of the jobs that are highly paid today. Bottom line is we will need far few people in the future, which will reduce demand and lower the stressors that are destroying the planet until a level of stasis is reached. There will be Billins of people who will perish, but in the end humans will (?) survive.
My 19 yo son says he will never have children because of what the world looks like today. Our youth is hopeless.

Women and men are not having kids because everything has become unaffordable. Everything is so expensive now that to bring a child into the world, just to that child struggle, is a very bad idea. People with common sense will not allow a child to subject to that harsh life. When one is poor, it's a very hard way to live.
Only people without common sense (who are poor) continue to have kids after kids, letting the tax payer subsidized the rearing of their children. It's unfair to the tax payers and it's unfair to the children who have to suffer such harsh life. People need to think and prepare BEFORE they bring an innocent child into the world.
by your logic, "people with common sense" will breed themselves out of existence.
@@nickolasbrown3342
If they can't afford to raise a child without welfare, then yes, if extinction is the case then so be it. It's not fair to bring a child into the world only to have it suffer and it's not fair when other people have to subsidized the raising of your child. Welfare is there to help people get a leg up (for a short amount of time), it's not there for people to be on it generationally or indefinitely.
But dumb people breed everyday, so I highly doubt the population will go extinct anytime soon.
Why are you so triggered? Are you on welfare, is that why? Just wondering.

Everytime I hear someone refer to babies as consumers and innovators. I can't help but smile at our situation.
We've taken the humanity out of humans and only view ourselves as something that drives the economy forward. The economy isn't real, it's a made up figment of our imagination reinforced by market trends. It has no purpose outside of measuring success and failures.
We've made it more important than our own children. And hopefully we continue to decline and die off, cause if we put more value in "ThE hEaLtH oF tHe EcOnOmY" than our own sense of well being, we were doomed to die out anyway.
That's why I won't have children, I've lost faith in the majority of the semi conscious people standing next to me, as if consumerism is their national pastime.

Most of the "supply chain shortages" are actually intentional. Most large companies horde supplies and dish out in low quantity, hence the inflation. Since their #1 priority is an influx of income, they get to raise the prices for the products they hide from the public.

It has more to do with people living longer than expected when SS taxes were calculated. On average, Americans used to die earlier, meaning their years of drawing from SS were fewer. However, as medicine has improved, they now live longer. But that also means they draw from SS more years than was originally planned for. On top of that baby boomers have begun to retire so the ratio of retirees drawing from SS vs workers contributing to SS is decreasing. The taxes for SS actually should've been raised decades ago, but it's unpopular politically so politicians have always kicked the SS bill further down the road.
You must be asleep if you think the government is stealing from you
@@ChiCityLady
SS taxes were raised to deal with baby boomers back in 1983... benefits were cut as well. If they just eliminated the income cap on SS taxes that would solve something like 75%-80% of the funding issue. If they eliminated the cap while not associated benefits to the taxes paid on [x] income adjusted annually [say like above $400,000 or so initially,] it would likely solve the entirety of it.
