Why is the US suffering supply chain issues, and issues of scarcity, which are not present in other developed countries like Germany?

Are cars and GPUs not hard to come by in Germany?

For stuff like cream cheese, I really think the news stories are overblown. It's around, there was plenty in the grocery store yesterday.

Surely a global shortage of a certain very specific good is different than a local shortage of everyday consumer goods.

I hope you are right that this is not a serious issue. I can only say that I ran into this, as well as being unable to reliably get on a flight, as well as being unable to easily aquire a PCR test required for international travel all within the same 3 week period.

And none of these problems seem to exist in Germany.
