They aren't really being forthcoming about what's on the ships. They say to buy Christmas presents early. They aren't saying anything about food. And that to me is a hint, they don't want panic. Prices are rising fast. That is why I went out and bought now before the prices jump. Wal-mart says it's going to rent boats to bring in their product, but who do you think will eat that cost? So, I'm not going full blown prepper, lol, just trying to stay ahead of what I see coming. I really hope others are doing the same.

Nope...it will sit there and rot...
When the Evergreen was stuck in the Suez Canal there were livestock aboard it...they all died from lack of water and food. (They make shipping containers for livestock that feeds and waters them)
Other shipping containers are powered by either batteries or something and are refrigerated, frozen, or just GPS tracked. The exterior always looks similar but many are radically different.
If a frozen shipping container runs out of fuel to power it...the contents thaw out.

Thats because Costco (their largest competition) owns their own logistics elements. From ships to trucks....they control and own it all. Walmart just updated their warehouse facilities but doesn't own their ocean shipping fleet. So they are going to lease one.
Fuel costs are going to eat them alive anyway so it actually could work out for them....they lease out available surplus space to offset fuel and crew costs and they can save some money. (What Costco does)

Logistics have changed a lot over the past 40-50 years. Jimmy Carter's fault for when he made OPEC and Federalized the interstate speed limit to 55mph.
Today's truck long distance fleet drivers have onboard dispatching connected to navigation as well as cyberspace logbooks. They also have automatic transmissions and power steering and extensive dash-camera systems. (Too many intentional accidents)
Ocean going Containerships aren't much different...captains don't really even steer the boat like they once did.

Most of those living in rural areas are going to suffer as well...
They usually travel to city centers for groceries...
And since logistics for Amazon and other shipping companies has grown extensively over the pandemic...on time deliveries have a thing of the past. 2day shipping? Don't count on it!
The steel industry is working on overtime to fix the shipping container shortage....but it requires steel...which relies upon mining....which relies upon mining equipment and well.... you get the idea. Where a single hydraulic hose or filter can cause the whole world to collapse.
"Simple things of this Earth causing the wise to fall". Or something like that.

Now there is a way...
Beef cattle are backing up at the slaughterhouses and processing facilities...
You can purchase one off the feedlot if you can actually break down the whole steer. Might try splitting it with someone or try purchasing what is termed "swinging beef" .
Cheaper by the pound and not very processed but is hung for a couple of weeks. (Needed step)

You guys are nuts! Get a fishing pole and catch fish, no easier way to get high quality protein. Also, we are told that a third of the fish will die, pick them up off the beach and get a net to scoop them up as they float on the water, just like road kill and as long as you are prompt they will still hold together as you pick them up.
Or you could do what the Indians did and use the dead fish for fertilizer and instead eat your peanut butter.
Or even better you could do what the Bible says and put your trust in the Lord there is no salvation other than Jesus.
