Every day, millions of sailors, truck drivers, longshoremen, warehouse workers and delivery drivers keep mountains of goods moving into stores and homes to meet consumers’ increasing expectations of convenience. But this complex movement of goods underpinning the global economy is far more vulnerable than many imagined. Photo illustration: Adele Morgan

“This documentary has been months in the making and throughout production we kept wondering if disruptions in global supply chains would still be an issue by the time it came out. Unfortunately, with intermittent shutdowns of ports and factories in China due to Omicron, sanctions on Russia, and the invasion of Ukraine, supply chain disruptions are in some ways as big an issue as they were during the peak of the pandemic.
With every new report of goods costing more or being more difficult to get, backlogs at ports or walkouts at an e-commerce distribution center, it feels like understanding of how all of that works is more important than ever.”
-WSJ technology columnist Christopher Mims
Because it's so profitable. Duh.
People who what things. That they don't need!!!! This is a wakeup to total consumerism!! This is the realisation of mindless use…

This is what happens when you outsource practically all your production of vital supplies to other countries.
This is the penalty of globalisation, covid showed that even getting a face mask was a nightmare. A great reset on the location of production bringing jobs closer to the point of distribution creating local jobs
Surely this industry is now being transformed by self driving vehicles.. it will be DC to DC soon..
Globalism is just another word for Colonialism it is designed to make sure that resources stay
In control of the West.
American buying from the world with printed dollars….biz as usual!

They want ppl to step up but don’t step up the pay ✌🏾
What can automation do to help fix this?
I was really impressed with all the workers involved in this documentary, especially their attitudes. As a retired person, I truly appreciate all workers involved in the delivery process. I appreciate all workers everywhere who make our world work. As customers we should be appreciative and don't need to make their jobs harder with insignificant complaints and excessive demands. Thank you workers around the world!
Exploitation of human labor will continue with profits staying on the top, capitalism is a devouring beast power to the people
What we actually thought it would carry on infinatum, are we that stupid : answare, actually we are.
Excellent demonstration of a modern day SLAVE PLANTATION .
I've been a truck driver for 20 years and have a good paying job, my company can't find new drivers , no one wants these jobs anymore, want more drivers then pay them more money, pay them while they wait in line for freight or watch the supply chains get worse and worse!
Right when you need a train, there is no infrastructure. US: oops, car go vroom vrooooom.
This video made me see the world different 🌍 thank you
Watching these people who are being exploited talk so enthusiastically is what keeps us in chains.
Remember, A better world is possible.
Fascinating journalism, but I take issue with how fragile they take workers to be, as though every job should be light and easy because people can't handle tough work. People shouldn't be treated as though they are snowflakes for they will start to see themselves that way. The achievements of these companies are amazing and laudable, just as the workers who make it possible.
Very usefull easy frugal living tips during a recession:
