The real reason that the supply chain woes even exist or are exasperated so much is..........

JUST IN TIME BUSINESS MODELS.

Who led the way in the 'just in time' bullshit? GM and the other car manufacturers.

They do not warehouse anything anymore. They cried about having too much inventory and it hurt their profits.

They made no plans in case of supply chain disruptions.

They raise the prices during the supply chain disruptions. Seems like they planned to fuck over everyone any way that they could.

The driver shortage is because the job sucks. Very few trucking companies are run anymore to have hubs all over the place so drivers can go out and back and not have to be over the road for extended periods of time.

When Reagan deregulated trucking he fucked that all up. He should have just went after the corruption in the unions instead of deregulating the whole industry.

Hopefully the Amazon union will keep a close eye on those running it and not let them get like the other union heads.
