I think part of whay we are seeing is a staffing shortage - not enough people to move stock to the floor.

Nothing big, in terms of shortages that matter to me right now. I can get all the grocery and food and fuel I need, on demand. That doesn't include my ample garden loot. TP is available too, so far. So basically, no empty shelves.
I do see a lot of businesses posting warnings that they can't get stock on many, many items, and may not be able to stock them for a year. So, there may parts etc. that I can't get due to the giant shipping snafu.
Also, the spot price of propane has jumped 300%. Hmmm.

Yes, cars are on the list of shortages. If they can't get semiconductors, they can't complete the build.
We wouldn't mind an upgrade for my DW's vehicle, now 10 years old and still reliable, but it's a lousy time to buy. Negotiate? Fugetaboutit.

Propane remains in very short supply here in the UK. It is much less used than in the USA.
Most UK homes are heated by natural gas, with oil being popular in rural areas without natural gas. Long wait for heating oil deliveries, stocks are reported as being ample at depots, shortage of delivery drivers. Coal is very little used these days, but is readily available.
For those who DO use propane, the shortage is a cause for concern.
There are a number of shortages of everyday goods in supermarkets, but no general shortages. For example, locally no tinned beef stew was available. That however is not a FOOD shortage. Fresh beef available, though the choice is restricted. Other tinned meat products available, but again the choice is restricted.

It seems like we have to brace ourselves for an upcoming shortage of coocoo clocks from the Black Forest region. They lack clockworks, cast iron weights, paint and ironically wood for building them. They also seem to lack cartons for shipping. I am confident that I will survive this shortage.

Ideally, you will already have a robust inventory of first aid supplies, regardless of supply chain issues. no time outs are available when you are dealing with severe bleeding, blocked airways, etc.
