<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 8184000, member: 77413&quot;]Your response is so off the rails that you should apologize to the entire forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I see in the Atlantic’s article is a nicely written article written in a light tone. It sprinkles in a number of anecdotal examples of various shortage causes and effects to keep it readable.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, yes, it may be true that many Americans have not done deep research into the shipping industry, staffing in the trucking companies, effects of absenteeism on the meat packing industry, and on and on. They have their lives to attend to. So how can it be an insult to our country to acknowledge that people are busy and might like a summary of why there aren’t beans on their store’s shelves?</p><p><br /></p><p>What possibly could have set you off?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is a shortage of shipping containers somehow political? How about a shortage of truck drivers? Are ships that are stuck in the harbor because they can’t unload somehow political? Either they are waiting, or they are not. These are simply facts. You can like them or dislike them, but they remain, just simply facts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, your responses are incomprehensible. What in the world are you talking about? Are you afraid of facts? I think that might be it - you seem to be looking out from some paranoid conspiracy worldview and interpreting even plain old facts through layers upon layers of strange interpretations. That’s a good way to feel that a presentation of factual information with light overlay of analysis (to show how the facts fit a bigger picture) can be fantasized into something political.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will be waiting for that apology for your delusional ranting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
