Shortage of:
Truckers.
Railroad workers.
Longshoremen.
Warehouse workers.
Ship crews.
All caused by COVID plandemic.
That and China is hoarding sea containers. It’s economic warfare and the deep state is complicit.
All caused by COVID plandemic.
Correct!
The “supply chain” is a very complex ‘machine” and for it to work ALL parts have to work. A failure of one part can mess up the entire machine. What we are seeing today is a failure of almost all parts.
These failures can all be traced back to the virus and the way the world governments mis-handled everything.
The real question is was it on purpose or an un-intended consequence of China allowing the virus to escape from their bio-lab?
Add : containers
caused by a glut in the US some years back when we were importing more than exporting - the empty containers were sold off and made into “tiny homes”.
There are plenty of Longshoremen - their unions prevent them from working round the clock as in other countries ; so if there is a crunch, they cannot unload the ships fast enough, creating a backlog due to their short working hours.
The virus panic just accelerated an already tight supply of workers, mostly, here in the US, due to Union rules.
Add : Workers being paid not to work by the Biden Admin.
1) It predates covid
2) You left out the Teamsters and the ILU.
Your explanation doesn’t go far enough.. what is the root cause?
Did half of truck drivers die?
Or did half of them get sick for two weeks throughout the past 17 months and stay home? People get sick all the time for 10 days to two weeks.
Did the trucking companies crush half their trucks and trailers?
Did all the Sikh truck drivers go back to India?
Did all the truckers sit on their asses due to welfare payments?
Did the end of NAFTA curtail Mexican trucks and truckers?
Did half of refineries shut down and there was no diesel fuel to be had?
I have yet to hear a satisfying and logical explanation of what is going on and what caused it.
In other words, because this baseless administration wants it.
Harebrained democrat policies that have caused fuel costs to escalate, cutting profits.
Yes, all of the above in post #2. Also, appliance dealers tell me the hard freeze in Texas (months ago) caused a LOT of problems delaying refrigerators, and all kinds of “cooling” products. For example, those cool-type mattresses, etc.
Independent truckers aren’t allowed to drive in California. They have to be employees of companies.....
