Americans are no stranger to shortages. During WWII, coffee, butter, and canned milk were in short supply. In the 70s, it was gasoline. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, we all faced a shortage of toilet paper.
Now, as life is slowly getting back to normal, we still face a few post-pandemic-related shortages. As if COVID-19 wasnât bad enough, computer hackings and deep freezes hampered a rebound in the supply chain.
This summer, consumers can expect to pay more for gas, chicken wings, sausages, and bacon.
