A letter published in The Echo, earlier this year, suggested that if something fishy was really going on then another major shipping canal would soon be blocked. Since then, the Suez Canal was again blocked; on 28 May when the Maersk Emerald broke down with engine trouble in the Suez Canal and quite oddly, on the very same day, all maritime traffic was stopped in the busy Bosphorus Strait, when the crude oil tanker RAVA broke down owing to mechanical trouble. See, it did happen, as previously suggested.
Another one of the thousand new and real issues that will affect you, is the now two-year bottleneck delay, in production of computer chips used in phones, cars and food harvesting and production equipment. This bottleneck will make itself apparent, over the next two years, in decreased availability of goods.
You may start to notice the price of everything rising.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
