CORP/BIZ Disruption Escalates: Proctor And Gamble Says Over 17,000 Products Potentially Impacted By Coronavirus

I wonder just how bad it will get...…...and for how long......

I am afraid we have have only just begun to see the tip of the iceberg.
While it may be possible to start manufacturing back in the states again it would require the manufacturing of all new manufacturing equipment. Most companies that went to China packed up their whole factories and shipped them over.
It would not take near as long to start up here if they could pack up that factory and bring it back to the states but now they can’t. Many factory companies will either just go under or have to start up from scratch again here, if they can even get the raw components to work with.
This will turn into the ultimate domino effect.
It’s going to be painful for a long time I am afraid. Years.

Yes! Except... it works better if you add the water first... it mixes easier. I started doing this when they switched to "Ultra" Dawn... it drove me crazy that it was more concentrated, but everyone in the household used the same (as with the original formula) amount by habit. So, I diluted it back to be like the original!

Call me spoiled, but I don't want yo have to go back to washing dishes and hair with lye soap. I *can*, if we must... have a couple hundred pounds of lard and enough lye for several years... But while I like homemade soap for hand soap (it really cleans!), you can't beat Dawn for dishes.

How much water and does it need to be distilled?

I just use our artesian well water... IIRC, it tested around 12 grains hardness. How much? Start with filling the bottle 1/4 (roughly)full of water and filling to the top with Dawn. If you think you wouldn't mind it a bit thinner, add a bit more. IMHO, more than a third water is too thin, and you end up wasting more because it's not as easy to meter.

If you like shaving with disposable razors your in trouble, there all made in China. Buy a safety razor and blades now.

Or grow a groat and hairy legs!

The answer to the problem is start gearing up to make the products here in the good old U.S.A. and one obstacle in the way is everyone wants to make the planing stage a five year project and another five years after that to build it. They need to start thinking like they did in 1942 and put enough people on it and you have it done in six months.

I really hope and pray you are right but in ~8 weeks our assembly lines could look the same as China's did/ do. Then what?

This is why we prep. Stay strong!

Just as a note the Dow is hovering around +200 this AM.
