The broken global supply chain

from 1 big thing Hosted by Axios

The Ever Given was stuck in the Suez Canal for almost a week blocking more than 350 ships. That traffic jam will take days to clear and will affect global supply chains for months. But it’s not just the ship’s fault - global shipping was broken before the Ever Given. Plus, real-world data shows even better news on the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. And, the HVAC upgrades needed to put kids safely back in the classroom. Guests: Axios' Felix Salmon, Sam Baker and Kim Hart. Credits: Axios Today is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Dan Bobkoff, Justin Kaufmann, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Amy Pedulla, Naomi Shavin, and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
