This is Planet Money from NPR.

Hi everyone, this is Darian Woods from the Indicator, Planet Money's daily economics

podcast.

The world is deep into the supply chain apocalypse at this point.

And frankly all science suggests we have a long way to go before we're out of the words.

If you're one of the many people still waiting on that new couch or car or a pair of skis,

you might be wondering why things are still so broken.

I mean the ski season is halfway through at this point.

So we're going to be looking at two crucial choke points that explain the slow down.

Ports and warehouses.

And we look at what it would take to un-fog those choke points.

After the break Dustin Dwyer from Michigan Radio brings us our first story about one

possible solution to our National Port Club problem.
