Lots of experts, real or imagined, are telling readers to beware of specific problems coming our way. I'll mention a couple, and some of you may be aware of others worth sharing.
1. The Governor of Texas ordered inspections of trucks coming across the border from Mexico, looking for drugs and so forth. The Mexican truckers have responded by blockading the main port on their side. Then the narco gangs set fire to some of the trucks because they won't tolerate the blockade. They would rather face the risk of their drugs being found than the certainty that their drugs can't cross the border at all. At any rate, experts warn that in the next two weeks we should see serious shortages of the vegetables that come from Mexico. The US buys almost half its produce from there. One story can be found here.
2. This story quotes Martin Armstrong (video interview I didn't watch) saying that the collapse of the western economic system will demand a war to prevent the worst consequences. It could come in the next few weeks, but could also take longer, since there are so many variables that have to be lined up.
So, these two are ostensibly close-range enough that we can easily keep track and test if these experts know what they are talking about. I'll probably grab a few bags of frozen veggies today, but that's not really any different from my recent habits.
