I’ve seen a few mentions of the labor problem since. Your update about mechanization pointed out a countervailing or mitigating aspect.
I’m now less sure of this point you made:
It’s likely that some amount of labor will be found, one way or another
I can’t think of how this would definitely be easy enough, even beyond the short term. Short term, I expect a lot of produce and meat animals to be ‘wasted’ because of the immediate shortfalls in the chains.
Double checking that you’ve seen this comment on the supply chain thread (which deals with produce)?
Yes, I saw that; thanks!
