There is a crisis in the supply chain in the United States, and the resumption of purchase restrictions in Costco supermarkets in the United States is likely to trigger inflation, which is becoming a reality.

First, the US supply chain crisis.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, the global supply chain has fallen into unprecedented chaos. In many places, production was interrupted, goods transportation was delayed, and supermarket shelves were empty. Take the United States as an example, McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks and many other well-known chain restaurants are facing the problem of no raw materials. The supermarket shelves are almost empty, so we have to restart the purchase restriction. The price increase of daily necessities is getting more and more serious. The supply chain crisis has hindered the recovery of American economy, and the main reason for this situation is COVID-19.

Second, the lack of products in the supply chain.

Under the crisis of American supply chain, the product with the least supply is food. According to statistics, the United States has reduced poultry meat by 20%, beef reserves by 7.7% and pork reserves by 44%, the lowest in four years. This will lead to the situation that many Americans have no meat to eat, and some meat has fallen into a serious shortage. KFC has no chicken to fry, so it has to cancel the relevant advertisements, and the same situation has happened in other fast food restaurants.

Third, inflation.

What is inflation? It is nothing more than printing too much money, which leads to rising prices and the money is no longer valuable. The daily necessities in the United States are indispensable every day, but the production and consumption ends are suffocating, the price is getting higher and higher, but it can't be produced on time, the demand is rising, and the labor force is insufficient. At present, the United States has to restrict the purchase of some daily necessities, such as toilet paper and bottled water. However, this situation can only alleviate temporary problems, but can not solve long-term problems. It is impossible to say that printing money will solve this problem. We must find a way to make the whole supply chain work. This is the key to solving the problem.
