A shipping terminal in Kansas reveals the fundamental problem — no one can plan, and no one is sure what will happen next.

This article came out a couple months ago about some of the supply chain issues we are facing. Ironically for me, the shipping yard they are writing about is about an hour from my house. It does make me feel better about the month long wait I have had while my 392 sits in Ohio waiting on a ride to Missouri.

Wow ...how depressing! Amazing how fragile these efforts are. Perhaps manufacturers need to start opening up delivery at plants like a Corvette!

It didn't require me to have a NYT membership. Weird. I was actually surprised by the fact it wasn't a politically leaning article either.

For me it said I had used my 1 free article.............and wanted me to pay and sign up. Interesting article though. Seems like everything is a mess right now. Hard to see how to help the whole situation as an individual other than to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and trying to do the next right thing.......
