1/ I'll attempt to explain our current supply chain challenges in a very simplified way🧵. Everything you have in your house had to be shipped multiple times to get to where it is, through ocean, air, trucks, last mile delivery - in containers, on pallets and in packages
2/ LA and Long Beach harbors are where more than 30% of US ocean freight come in. Right now they are congested. Bc of ships stuck in the Suez canal, spiky demand during Covid, manufacturing issues, port closures, lack of automation, low workforce. Inventory can't come in.
