  • 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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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".

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.

    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.

    This is BS, as far as rubber is concerned, all the US has to do is encourage a used rubber center, bring your used tires and get paid for them, 5 dollars each, and do heavy marketing in that area,that will solve that shortage, just like they did for the bottle industry years ago

Consistancy is something I need to do for sure - the hard part is seeing exactly where my focus should be!

    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.
    There isn't an oil shortage, only 8-10% of US-bought oil comes from Russia. Companies see profits from hoarding their own goods due to war and general struggles.

      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.

      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.
