Apple is destined to make millions fewer of it's newest iPhone because of chip shortages.

Aldi's sells Clancy's kettle chips and a couple of years ago they discontinued the salt and cracked black pepper flavor that was fabulous. I've tried the Winco brand and they don't have enough big chunks of pepper in them. So there is a pepper shortage and a good chip shortage.

The UK may have a petrol shortage because of too few truck drivers; the US has a general distribution problem from ports where the shipping containers are offloaded because of too few truckers. What we have in common is too few truckers. In the UK instance that is a self-inflicted wound.
