You Tube is filled with financial people but before you dismiss it all, there are some real professors, economists, interviews with legit experts. Of course you have to weed out the charlatans, gold bugs, crypto fanatics, right wing libertarian wack-a-doodles.

Some prognostications include real supply side problems in the weeks and months ahead without known expiration date. Motor oil. What's available is what's available. I bought a year's supply this week. Don't know if it will be on the shelves when I need it.
