Brenton Septuagint Translation And ye answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, ye went up to the mountain.
We will go into the hill country and fight, just as he told us to do. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the mountain. You might have the core glass sheet made in Kentucky and it be shipped to Taiwan to be cut into smaller sizes and then sent to Hong Kong. And then from Hong Kong, it's made into cell phone-size and then shipped to Shanghai for final assembly with all kinds of other pieces.
So when you introduce these complex items with all of these pieces, there's opportunities for breakdowns all along the way. So I think there's going to be continued disruption on complex goods, but things will be easing off and have eased off on more simple goods, where you don't have as many components coming together and there's not as many countries and lanes involved with pulling everything together.
LG : And as we know, a lot of the gadgets we use today are complex. Not all of them, but a lot of them, especially as everything, even your toothbrush, becomes internet-connected and needs some kind of wireless radio or a Bluetooth chip in it, or something like that. AS : The other shortage that I was thinking about was a paper shortage, which is going from the most complex piece of a product all the way down to the absolute least complex piece.
Like paper mills can only produce a certain amount of pulp, and if it all got diverted to toilet paper, as we discovered earlier this year … I'm really interested, not only in physical books, but just the packaging for all of our phones and iPads that have to get to our doors.
If all the tablets can get made but they can't get shipped, that is another obstacle that we may be seeing. MC : Very true. Let's move on now from talking about the problem to talking about the solutions. In our next segment, we will also cover some tips on how to shop for the holidays when you can't buy anything on the internet. MC : Welcome back. So if the supply chain is borked, what can you do about it?
Step one is to be realistic about what sorts of things you'll be able to actually buy. That's why we've got some dos and don'ts of holiday shopping here for you. Adrienne, let's rip off the Band-Aid right away. Is there anything that people should just accept that they're not going to be able to buy this year? AS : I am preaching to the choir here because everyone who wants a PS5 is probably already aware that it's going to be exceptionally difficult to get a PS5 still a year after release.
AS : I'm saying that in the most respectful way possible. And you're very important and necessary in video, blah, blah, blah. MC : That's the other one. That's the really fancy one. AS : That's the upgraded version. And the other thing that is going to be really hard to get ahold of right now is if you haven't been converted to a Kindle, yet paper books are going to be really difficult to get ahold of, especially if you Like I do try to patronize independent bookstores. So I really highly recommend getting hold of those as early as you can.
LG : Adrienne, I'm curious as a parent, do your young kids have a sense of what's going on with the supply chain? I'm sure they've heard all the adults talking about it in conversation, but do they know what it means and what that might mean for the holidays in terms of gifts?
AS : I don't know if you've heard Lauren, but Santa has chartered his own transportation vehicles. So he doesn't have to go through the Port of Long Beach or whatever. Another thing that's important to note here is that my kids are young enough that I can find most of the things they want on Amazon. They've already circled and triple-circled all the things in Amazon's special holiday toy catalog. And bigger retailers like Amazon and Walmart are able to charter their own boats and in Amazon's case buy their own air fleet.
So if you are in doubt about what retailer you should shop at and whether they're actually going to get to your house, this is the one year where I'm going to tell you, you might want to try a bigger retailer. MC : What about on the other end, shopping locally or going to a place like Etsy, which is all for the most part one-to-one type transactions, is that a good option?
LG : Yeah, I asked Tim Brown about out this, whether or not shopping local is one way to solve the supply chain issues. And he brought up a good point, which is that just because you're shopping local doesn't mean the thing is going to be on shelves, particularly if it's an imported good or a complex good, as we talked about before. And he actually said he thinks that could end up driving more people to shop online. TB : I love local stores and all, though I'm not as much of a brick-and-mortar person now I'm mostly online.
But if you think about it, when you've got such scarcity, we've got such empty shelves in many places right now. If you're looking for receivers and all and go to certain electronic stores, there's not much out there. So if you're trying to buy in brick-and-mortar stores, it's hit and miss roaming the aisles and seeing what's there.
And if it's not there, there's no way to allocate any inventory to yourself. You can't place an order in a brick-and-mortar store on something that's not there. It's either there or it's not. So it pretty much should be driving consumers to go even more online. Because oftentimes with retailers, they'll go ahead and allow you to place an order, even though the inventory's not there. You just get put in the queue for when the orders come in.
So in some ways I hate to say it, I think it should drive more people online because then they know it might not be next day they get it, or next week, but at least two weeks from now, they'll get it. And they're not having to go store to store and come up empty. LG : So yeah, ultimately even if you try to shop local, you may end up being driven to shop online. But that said, you should still try to support your small businesses and shop local when you can. With Etsy, yes, a lot of the people are craftspeople who are selling one-to-one and running their own small businesses.
It probably is just going to depend on whether or not they can get the craft supplies that they typically need, like wood or paper or whatever it is, like Adrienne's talking about, to make the thing that they typically make.
But that might be a nice option. I have a suggestion for a gift that as far as I know has not been in short supply yet, which is booze. Not for your kids, Adrienne, of course. But the other day it was my brother's birthday, and I was a little bit late on getting a gift and I thought, "Well, oh gosh, if I order him something now maybe it's going to get there by Christmas, I don't know.
And so I ordered him a bottle of bourbon and it arrived the next day. And I was like, and of course I tipped the driver well and just was like, cool, all right, great. This is a nice easy solution. So booze and hugs.

Now we'll go to the place the LORD promised. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

And now, if this is displeasing in your sight, I will go back home. Deuteronomy So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. But if this is the way Coke is going to be and not make the app accessible to everyone. That is a crying shame. There are many people out here that enjoys coke products and enjoyed the rewards. Coke is getting to big for itself to think of the every day person out here buying the product which keeps going up and up in price.
All they care about is what they can make selling their products. Consuming coke products for over 30 years. I have a lighted coke sign from the United Center when they switched to Pepsi and took down all the coke stuff. Six months ago I cut it off — not another bottle or can since.
The last few years their rewards program sucked but I liked their product - dt coke.
