Another threat

The global supply chain may be at risk of a possible collapse, warn business leaders

Seafarers, truck drivers and airline workers have endured quarantines, travel restrictions and complex Covid-19 vaccination and testing requirements to keep stretched supply chains moving during the pandemic.

But many are now reaching their breaking point, posing yet another threat to the badly tangled network of ports, container vessels and trucking companies that moves goods around the world.

I doubt a total supply chain collapse will occur, but we may feel the squeeze soon in rising costs and missing items in the stores as this continues.

I agree with you here. I expect we'll see fits and starts and regional bottlenecks across the planet rather than any sudden, total collapse. We're going to have to be more patient over a lot of things, even after the Pandemic is over because of issues with the Climate Emergency building up as well.

These are certainly “unsettled times,” imo.
