Yep it seems so. Here's today's article:

They mention a shortage of 100,000 drivers, army being put on notice to deliver, and 50-90% dry at metro fuel stations. I can imagine it going 'I am Legend' if that were for food as well.
I'm not old enough, but it seems the rising inflationary pressures (thanks: central banks spamming fiat currency) combined with supply chain shocks as we are seeing, evoke the early 1970s. Anyone here go through that as a young motorist/shopper? What was it like? My Mrs and I have begun back and forth discussions after the shop on which items are not there/shelves empty - having seen some incredible footage on yt of stores in the US. Maybe it wasn't such a smart idea shipping the cheapest tomatoes in a can 12,000km from Italy after all.
In car terms, a good 2nd handy seems assured it's value for a while more.
