You're on to something here I think - your employer probably wouldn't have given you a massive raise had they not seen the light at the end of the tunnel. The problems, as I understand them, can be made more temporary if the right incentives were in place, and the wrong ones removed. Yes we are in a hole right now but it's not really that bad. A backlog at the ports, driver shortages, and warehousing issues __should__ be easily fixed. However, the longer this lasts the harder it's going to be to get out of this hole because we really should be focusing more on the long term consequences and decisions. If anything this time has proven that some links in our supply chain are fragile. How that's fixed is a mixture of business changes, technology changes, and political changes, but they must be fixed. This time has also shown that there aren't enough leaders willing to take responsibility and fix the problem. I'd love for a Gates/Musk/Bezos to step up and offer help to the governments that want it. I'd love for the US government to actually get some input from people that run real businesses too.
