To me, this still looks like the bullwhip effect, which is expected to have an outsized effect on demand over at least a year or two.

Buyers, who got used to “just in time” shipping, got spooked by shipping delays and shortages from their suppliers, because of supply demand imbalances during shutdowns, and as a response they all put in orders for 2 to 3 times the amount they usually buy from their suppliers with the intent of rebuilding domestic stock so they don’t miss out on sales.

All of a sudden, aggregate demand explodes.

You can be sure where ever there's angry people in the world Russia will be there to help fan the flames.

Seems like an outlet for disinformation itself.

The concepts are as I remember from my cryptography course in college, and is a great refresher!

Thank you!
