A good review of the challenges faced to get goods into ports, into warehouses, onto trucks, out to distribution centres into retailers.

Packed ports and empty shelves: Inside the issues behind the U.S. supply chain crisis - CBS News

... basically there is a lot of finger pointing and a lot of new investments in infrastructure required.

These challenges lead to increased prices and inflation.

THe article does not fully cover the actual problem. Not one mention of California AB5 that prevents independent operators from operating at California ports. Or any of the other restrictions to trucking operations here in California. Until they properly address that, the problem will not be corrected.

... the news report goes onto say that all ports in the USA are owned by the municipalities in which they are located. The monies required to fund these ports and make the necessary investments to maintain or improve them has to come from limited City budgets.

President Biden's new infrastructure plan will provide much needed funds to get what needs to be done much faster.

... at least one pipeline in Canada had to be emergency shut down to avoid an environmental disaster after an atmospheric river washed out most all key rail, road and pipeline links in British Columbia. A similar weather event happened in California last week.

The rail lines are just reopening six days later to reduced rail traffic. This makes an already unpredictable logistic path for all imports from the West Coast, like copiers from China, to distribution warehouses in Ontario. more difficult with more delays.

Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, urged President Joe Biden to restore the Keystone XL pipeline after the administration released 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

“I continue to call on President Biden to responsibly increase energy production here at home and to reverse course to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to be built,” Manchin wrote in a statement. He added that the pipeline would have “provided our country with up to 900,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada, one of our closest allies.”

... Keystone XL's path crossed both Indian lands and underground water aquifers. It was determined that the environmental risk was too high. Canadian oil sands production is very energy intensive and produces a dirty form of petroleum.

Keystone has given up on the project and moved its resources elsewhere making a reboot of the project years away.

Canada has lots of oil. Canada has no car company. You're in trouble.

And now any of the crude that makes it down to Texas refineries will do so by rail tanker cars. Those tanker trains will pass through major US cities. One derailment will create a much larger environmental tragedy than the pipe ever could.

Lyin' Joe says grocery stores are well stocked for Thanksgiving.

ANYTHING that isn't produced in the USA is missing from shelves.
Anything grown/produced here in the USA is also in short supply due to cost to move it over the land.
50millions barrels that are being released FROM OUR BACK UP SUPPLIES, 1/3 of that is being sold to China and India.
Joe doesn't give a FUCK about Americans.. but rather his WORLD BUDDIES!

Weekly jobless claims post stunning decline to 199,000, the lowest level since 1969

• Initial jobless claims totaled 199,000 last week, the lowest total since November 1969.
• Second-quarter GDP growth was revised slightly higher to 2.1%, a bit below estimates.
• Orders for long-lasting goods fell 0.5% for the month, below the expectation for a small gain.

The ranks of those submitting jobless claims tumbled to their lowest level in more than 52 years last week, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.

New filings totaled 199,000, a number not seen since Nov. 15, 1969, when claims totaled 197,000. The report easily beat Dow Jones estimates of 260,000 and was well below the previous week’s 270,000.

Most of those people have just stopped looking for work because the goobermint pays them more to sit on their asses.
Some are working under the table.
Some are doing their own thing and haven't declared with the gooberment their change in status.
Too many variables to pin it on one facet of the equation.

You're missing one very important word, NEW. All that indicates is the rate of people losing their jobs has slowed, for now. It also means that seasonal jobs are coming available. That will end in about two months.
