Late shipping, no more above and beyond, back order, slow manufacturing process….all businesses just blame the pandemic and we are helpless to change it it seems. Biggest cop out ever.

I blame it on government printing money so nobody wants to work

You obviously don’t deal with international shipping. The biggest problem is the ports have these idiotic cleaning rules (thanks unions) that have slowed port traffic. Off the coast of California is 88 full container ships just drifting. Before this overblown pandemic we might have had 1

This....my company had a shipment waiting off the shore of California that sat there for 6 weeks before they would allow them to offload it.

As soon as it stops being politically expedient to certain parties

question: what do the ship's crew and workers do during this time? Are they getting paid to hang out off the coast? Or do they only get paid once the work starts?

Why? Why would there still need to be cleaning rules? We know Covid isn’t transmitted in surfaces. This is so stupid.

I guess I'll stop using the excuse when I can finally stock everything I can't currently get. Just because you don't think there's a problem doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

As long as Medicare is paying far more for COVID being listed than other things (see: CARE Act), this farce will continue.
The "The USA Today" fact-checking article backing this up.
quote:
On April 19, he doubled down on his assertion via video on his Facebook page.
Jensen said, "Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate. Why? Because if it's a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they're Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000."

Considering it is directly because of it…
I work in a business effected by this. All raw materials come from overseas. One of our manufacturers has 2400 job openings nation wide currently. Their average pay for jobs started at 40k a year…it’s both Covid and government idiocy.

I mean, I can only do so much above and beyond until a part coming from mexico is needed. Then you figure out that the plant its made at has been closed for 3 months because of covid and is super behind on manufacturing said part.
How do you suggest that we go even more above and beyond? Should I drive to mexico and make the part myself?

ITT, there are two types of replies: those posted by people who understand supply chain, and hot takes.
