Show notes
Greetings to the living and the lost at sea. Thank you for tuning in to the Up Is Down podcast, and double-plus-good thank you to all who support this work. In this episode we take a look at the shipping crisis, the so-called labor shortage and the imminent collapse of global trade as we know it. Spoiler: It's been a long time coming and it's not what it seems.
And what about all those container ships sitting there?
Are there even crews on those boats?
If so, how are they surviving and what happened anyway?
How long have they been there? And how many of them are there out there?
Why don't they just come to shore and offload the goods? What's stopping them?
And where exactly are all the employees that should be at work during this booming economy, as evidenced by rampant inflation?
Where'd everybody go?
Where are all the people?
Enjoy this episode while you swim to the nearest waiting container ship for your holiday shopping as we explore these questions and more.
