Devil's advocate: this is objectively less bad than the gas crisis of the 70s or war-rationing during WW2 but only because we have so much more today than we did back then; still, all of this is self-inflicted which the writer and many might miss. We can easily end the staffing and supply chain issues at any time, whereas previous shortages were due to outside circumstances.
I've heard enough that it seems the gas crisis of the 70s was self-inflicted too. I've spoken about it with people who were alive at the time, and the common consensus was that they had the tankers full of fuel just sitting off the coast refusing to dock them. I can't remember what the supposed motive was, so take that with a grain of salt.

I wasn’t alive during that time, but I suppose they were trying the Great Reset back then too,
