In this episode, independent supply chain consultant and economist, Jim Nelles, discusses the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the global supply chain, specifically disruptions caused by Iran-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea. Nelles also highlights pre-existing supply chain issues brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic, inefficient ports in the United States, and the impact of regulations on trucking. He criticizes the focus of "Mayor" Pete Buttigieg on equity rather than addressing infrastructure issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
