well in the past  , i have observed  that when supply  stays restricted  , one of two things happen  physical items  are created by alternate sources ( which may be more expensive and/or lower quality  ) or the items are substituted ( legally or not ) for services  the usual result is job losses ( no product to provide )


 the wages are liable to stay sustainable , but the people receiving those wages are liable to decrease ( not many workers will take a pay-cut to endure more stress and uncertainty )


 the CURRENT danger is folks are losing trust in the supply lines  , that MIGHT be a good thing  for makers of warehouses and other storage facilities  , but generally more expense for most businesses as they will have to pre-buy more inventory   try to forecast trends/buying patterns better  , on the other hand , local entrepreneurs might step in with supply line reductions ( because they are suddenly cost-competitive  and time efficient )
