Yet, "some people cannot work".
Think all over the world supply change.

Are you familiar with the degree of infections, and where they are.?And the way each jurisdiction deals with it.

Now add on weather related conditions that affect crops and the people who work there. The coffee supply shortage was in the news many months ago. I stocked up 6 months ago. Trouble in Brazil will be reflected in the worldwide coffee supply.

My local liquor store can't get Jack Daniels (distilled in Lynchburg Tennessee). No one knows why. Woodford Reserve is still on the shelf. But seems to be running low.

Was just checking the prices of whole turkeys. Saw a lot of variance, but the "in stock" options were mostly through the roof. We were going to go with a grocery store bird because the price through the local farms was too high, but they're not very different. Going with the higher quality bird for not much more (or even less) money.

Do you really think the sweatshops in Viet Nam, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, etc. are closed? Really?

Weather, I'll give you.

Stop the extra aid immediately and restore balance to the economy. If you have too many takers, shortages are what happens. It’s basic math. Give to those who are disabled, elderly, or mentally unfit. Kick the lazy off government handouts. I have been laid off before but always worked my butt off to find another job. I hated being on unemployment. If you don’t want to work, sorry, you don’t deserve a roof over your head or food on your table.
But the supply chain issue is not because of labor shortages here in the USA.

And it has ended.....

No not all of them have stopped.
Enhanced SNAP just stopped but not completely. They only reduced some of the extra money, not all of it.
P-EBT may be extended to next year.
Enhanced Obamacare subsidies..that is still up in the air as well.

For some perhaps but not others who make far more than the chicken feed you are implying that is coaxing those from good paying jobs like longshoremen. Why would anyone trade a high paying union job for $300 smackers a week? They wouldn't.

The judge said, I am not picking winners and losers so work this out. we had a shortened shwo schedule, no masks, outdoors and no super spreaders. in fact I dont think one article even SUGGESTED anyone got positive from a show...
