"Due a lack of truck drivers" at the price they are willing to pay. So this is an optimization. That's fine. But optimized systems tend to be fragile. A belt breakdown will be less frequent that a truck problem, but will have a much larger impact.
- ars 2y ago> at the price they are willing to pay. No. They actually literally running out of people to do all the needed jobs. Japan has among the lowest birth rates in the world. They could pay more for truck drivers, and then have a shortage somewhere else. There just aren't enough people for all the jobs.
