Hello January,

The global supply chain has settled down. Ships waiting at both the east and west coast are almost gone.  

The biggest threats to the supply chain look to be the Russian/Ukraine war and China’s latest Covid numbers.

My 2023 crystal ball is predicting: 
1) Continued inflation.  
2) Rapid public awareness concerning,
a) drones
b) insect farming
c) electric & driverless vehicles
3) New Supply Chain disruptions are coming.
4) The greatest lack of resource continues to be people.
5) New fears, such as nuclear cooling.
Nuclear Cooling
These potential changes and many more could shape 2023. Just like every year, we will look back again in 2024 and say "I didn't see that coming".

The second article is an update on the FuFeng Plant in Grand Forks.
