A word about the US supply chain.
As an American who moved to Asia in the mid 90s I was clueless how different everything worked outside the US. In Singapore I wanted to make tuna salad. There was no tuna at the store. I inquired & was told, literally, the boat hadn't come in.1/

Finally a few months later cans of tuna were on the shelf! But there was no mayo. It was another few months before that boat came in. I learned if you see it, buy it because it might not be there when you want it. This was clearly very different than I was used to in the US 2/
It made me appreciate the US supply chain like I had never before.
Years later when I was living in Shanghai but was back in the US on home leave we were on our way to the airport & realized we had forgotten to buy dental floss which was not widely available in China. 3/

We stopped at WBA. I ran in. 20 minutes later I came out and my husband asks what took so long. I said do you know there is a wall of dental floss? Waxed, unwaxed, mint, cinnamon, plain. Then there are the brands and the length, etc. I was not used to all that choice. 4/
We have experienced minor issues thus far with the US supply chain & there are likely to be more as we move forward. My suggestion: if you see it, buy it.
Oh and hopefully you will now appreciate how good we have had it here in the US. /end https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-21/food-rationing-is-new-reality-for-buyers-once-spoiled-for-choice?cmpid=BBD042220_MKT&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=200422&utm_campaign=markets&sref=t5tYoaqh
