The shipping container shortage may get resolved
but you'll know about how long it takes to get logistics plans in place. You can't get the materials and the components so goods can't get manufactured pushing up the price. The closure of the Suez Canal fucked things up. Covid fucked things up. Brexit isn't through fucking things up yet, we're still waiting for that to fully kick into force.

We are going to be keeping our freezer fully stocked because supplies are going to become a lot more precarious for the next year or two.

I think you're being overly nervous here
I fucking hope so - more about the 'or two' bit than the 'next year' which I think is pretty much a certainty. Wot larks
