The govt. pumped a lot of money they printed and handed it out over and over, devaluing the dollar. Supply chain bottlenecks could be fixed, again IMO, somewhat by relieving some of the regulations on truckers so they can actually move the freight once it's offloaded.
That’s when I thought it started as well. A bunch of people not going to work, thus not producing goods or providing services, but with money in their pocket buying the same things as everyone else. Across the globe the same thing in most places, shut down and people not working. Inventory dried up. Then things start opening up, people get back out and back to work making more money than they were before for a lot of them, but inventory hasn’t been replenished or had a chance to catch back up with demand.
I saw the truckers blame the dock workers, the dock workers blame the truckers. Then truckers blocking cities moving zero products. Truckers blocking border crossings.
