UK empty supermarket shelves ...

[Telstra]

There is apparently a global issue with shipping. This piece is mainly about Felixstowe in the UK, but it mentions similar problems in Los Angeles.

No, only UK US issues where they don't invest in ports for automation in shipping containers.
They prefer to do the old fashion way which is very slow.

''Cargo Congestion Worsens With More Ships Waiting to Enter U.S. Ports''
Therefore US is the problem.

This whole story is beginning to look like a storm in a teacup. Christmas is apparently safe from shortages. Who'd have thought it!

There’s a huge Lunchables shortage here in the US and chicken wings are impossible to find.

I read that turkeys are going to be scarce around thanksgiving and are going to be much more expensive because of the shortage.

I told you guys Turkey was going to be more expensive this thanksgiving

^ I'm not sure if I'm more shocked by the price tag or the sell-by date.

There are real shortages!

A few days ago I went to my local Tesco and they had no Hellmann's Vegan Mayo! None, I tell you, NONE!

I was forced to choose between Heinz Vegan Mayo, Tesco Vegan Mayo, Wicked Kitchen Vegan Mayo, or Nando's Peri Peri Vegan Mayo!

The struggle is real, people!

I won't rest until I know down which path desperation forced you.

I got the Heinz version.

But I have Hellmann's in my next delivery order from ASDA.

60 Minutes last night explained a lot of it last night---watch it if you get a chance---of course the tanker ships most of which are foreign operated--are making record profits---in the billions---going to take a while for all these post covid containers to get sorted out.
