re: #12 sagehen
There’s all kinds of supply-chain disruptions going on, worldwide. Just-in-time parts and ingredients aren’t in time, so manufacturers can’t manufacture. Ports everywhere have labor shortages, so loading and unloading is way behind schedule (more container ships than usually process in a month are parked offshore waiting their turn), trucking has labor shortages, warehouses have labor shortages, etc etc etc
Kinda hard to lose 650,000+ people and not have labor shortages.
