This article on supply-chain problems is being copied all over the internet.
It describes shortages of everything dating back to at least July.
“Two years ago, a 40-foot container cost less than $2,000 to transport goods from Asia to the U.S. Today the service fetches as much as $25,000
if an importer pays a premium for on-time delivery, which is a luxury. That’s translated into big money for container carriers “
How long will these shortages last?
Personal anecdote (true story: I’ve been waiting 5+ weeks for a little part for my SUV …. )
