20 US dollars is quite a bit more when you view it from the perspective of an Angolan salary, rather than a western salary. But I do reckon we are in the early stages of a global supply chain collapse.

Yeah, I was mostly joking, but inflation has increased a lot lately, people can afford less and less these days, rent's going up, bills are going up, cost of living is going up. I've been used to not being able to afford much my entire adult life, but quite a few of my friends are finding out that "living within their means" has quite a bit less spending than it did a few years ago.

Good thing Israel can fix this overnight if it wants to.

Unfortunately, Israel cannot fix the Panama Canal drought overnight if it wants to.

Panama Canal traffic cut by more than a third because of drought
