It helps if you say which country you're referring to. Maybe the USA? i.e. [1]. As far as I've heard, the EU doesn't have these problems. It's only the UK.

As far as I've heard, the EU doesn't have these problems. It's only the UK. (I can't speak all the languages, but I asked friends from Denmark, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy if they'd seen reports of shortages in supermarkets and restaurants, but none have.)
The American problem looks fixable with vaccination, testing etc. A lot of drivers in Britain left the country, and there isn't a short-term fix.

- zdragnar 5y agoYou should ask more people, the driver shortage in various EU countries has been pretty widely reported. For example, https://www.ft.com/content/e8ca2a08-308c-4324-8ed2-d788b074aa6c https://www.ft.com/content/e8ca2a08-308c-4324-8ed2-d788b074a...
- Symbiote 5y agoI don't have an FT subscription. Driver shortages have been reported across the EU, but as far as I'm aware, food and fuel shortages are only in the UK. e.g. https://trans.info/en/there-s-a-europe-wide-hgv-driver-shortage-so-why-do-uk-supply-chains-seem-more-disrupted-254524 https://trans.info/en/there-s-a-europe-wide-hgv-driver-short...
- zdragnar 5y agoI don't have one either, but the page didn't have any sort of paywall when I opened it. Sorry if one popped up for you :/
