an explosion in demand for shipping yeah this is because lockdowns led so many more of us to um sort of buy things via e-commerce e-commerce supply chains are biased toward you know things coming from china and east asia and south asia and southeast asia and in addition there was this thing that happened where at the beginning of the pandemic shippers truckers etc um companies canceled their orders because what they thought was gonna happen at the beginning of the pandemic was a sequel to the great recession right you know like where lehman brothers collapsed and all that so everybody thought oh god we're gonna have this huge recession so let's pull back our orders let's let's not book any more um you know shipping containers and trucks and what what not but instead what happened was you saw this huge surge in demand you know and part of this is a big part of this is people just stopped going out so that they just started buying stuff yeah another part is you know obviously like all those uh the stimis those stimulus checks helped but i really think what happened more than anything else and this comes from recent reporting i've been doing talking to economists and stuff people have changed their lives more than we appreciate so the bureau of labor statistics says that only maybe NUMBER_TOKEN of people are still working from home but that could be an artifact of how they ask the question if you look at it there's a gallop data that came out yesterday which says that the number is more like twice that so we may already be approaching the maximum number of people who are in jobs who can work from our working home part of the time and what that's leading to is just this huge lifestyle change so one one sociologist wonk person called it family insourcing and i think whether or not you have kids we've all had the experience of being like you know what i'm gonna do more stuff at home i need a new set of knives i need some outdoor furniture i need a desk for my kid i need a webcam and so that demand and then the ability to to do that spending because nobody's going to disneyland or whatever has just shifted so much spending to goods right and those goods have to get into our country on shipping containers and that whole system is not designed to ramp up quickly and it's impossible to ramp it up quickly because what are you going to do are you going to put in another order for another ocean-going ship that's literally three football fields long and NUMBER_TOKEN stories tall okay great well hyundai heavy industries will get you that ship right away in four years so that's a big part of the problem what's the secret to your best night's sleep first toss out your memory foam and upgrade to awara the luxury hybrid mattress with natural foam and new zealand wool fiber awara features premium sri lankan latex and wrapped coil springs to provide contour and a touch of bounce for supportive sleep throughout the night awara is known for that weightless feeling you get neutral spine alignment so no sinking or pulling on the natural curve of your back your weight will be evenly distributed from head to toe with a touch of bounce you simply can't get with old-fashioned memory foam mattresses and there's a best in the industry NUMBER_TOKEN night trial no questions asked if you don't like it awara will take it back even if it's
