Oh, and in the wealthy countries, where the consumption that drives all of these industries, are still flush with cash to be spent...and it is being spent. So I guess the other answer is stop buying stuff, that will diminish demand and then these problems would self solve as well...but since that is unlikely, the best answer is getting people in the places where things are made and shipped from, as well as our own people, vaccinated. It's economics, not politics.
