Some call it the bottleneck of shipping. For some strange reason there is no shortage of imports to supply businesses with goods, yet there seems to be little incentive to ship them to their destinations.
The corporate news media is blaming the pandemic even though lockdown restrictions are a distant memory to most. It is a ridiculous excuse for price gouging because that is what is happening.
The shortages are intentional. Capitalism isn't that inefficient.

Jen Psaki Says Empty Shelves And Rising Prices Are Due To "Increasing Demand"

More misinformation from the white house. Like the coin shortage they blame covid even though that makes no sense at all. Quarters are disappearing because of covid...... Right. I guess covid doesn't like dimes as much as quarters. Picky covid.
@metal-brain saidIt is definitely an issue around a shortage of truck drivers that why the ships cannot unload their containers because the previous containers are still on the dockside.

As for small denomination coins a lot of sensible people went contactless for most payments rather than handle cash that had been handled by any number of other people because of covid.

@kevcvs57 saidSo quarters are preferred to be taken out of circulation by covid than dimes? I had no idea Covid preferred some coins with higher melt value over others. I had no idea viruses were so smart. They know the melt value of coins. Amazing!

Maybe covid can do my income taxes next.
@metal-brain saidIt also knows your a deranged halfwit it’s clever that way.

So the conspiracy is against quarters but not dimes 🤔 what a clever conspiracy.

@mott-the-hoople saidYou infer that the companies won't top unemployment benefits? Then they won't make enough money if they pay wages to get people working and thus market will cleanse them from competition. capitalism at work.

The gov is taking coins out of circulation that have a higher melt value relative to other coins. They are using covid as a lame explanation that makes no sense.

They are anticipating the inflation and taking quarters out of circulation before people hoard them like they did when quarters were made of 90% silver and they stopped making them from silver.
Here is some good advice. Save your coins!
@metal-brain saidYeah like I’m going to follow the link to a site called “happypreppers” 🙄

Your such a nut job. Why don’t you synopsise this conspiracy for us rather than trying to drum up hits for whacko conspiracy sites.

Stop LYING!
The problem is that a lot of truck drivers are retiring because they don't want the gene vaccine. It isn't covid, it is the vaccine mandate that is causing the shortages. Biden is an incompetent idiot!

Is the vaccination mandatory fo truck drivers in the USA??? I thought it was a battle about people in health systems.

@ponderable saidDo you deny truckers (and many others) are collecting unemployment instead of working?

I have also discovered a lot of the backup is because there is not enough trucks that will meet newsomes new enviromental requirements.
It is a man made supply shortage, just like the soaring fuel prices is because of bidens policies.
Why do liberals defend having our money taken from us?
@metal-brain saidAhh yes I see that must be right because we have a massive truck driver shortage over here with no vaccine mandate, that makes perfect sense now you’ve explained it.

As of August 2020, approximately 1,386,000 people in the trucking industry remained on unemployment, compared to 587,000 in August 2019.
you have any number for today?
