The government needs to rebuild the immigration infrastructure so that it doesn't take 10+ years to get through the system. I'm a firm believer in legal immigration as well, but the pace has to pick up.

We currently have aprox 40 million legal immigrants which makes the US the number 1 in the world for total immigrants

we currently increase that number but 1 million every year

while the immigration law might need to be improved we cant just open the doors with no borders

apparently we can, 1 million a year worth

as far as we know.....

I'm sick and tired of everything being blamed on Covid.

I blame government officials (elected or otherwise) for using Covid as a strategy.

Get on with life already.

Yeah, I can't imagine that a massive decline in personal travel due to COVID might impact oil company plans.

Or that a massive predicted decline in auto sales would cause automakers to cancel/push out semiconductor deliveries and now they're scrambling to get parts.

Or that a bunch of people shutting down / restarting factories producing goods due to COVID might destabilize a complex and interconnected world supply chain not only in finished goods but in the intermediate goods and raw materials needed to produce finished goods. 

Or that a massive drop in international passenger air travel due to COVID would cause a bunch of companies who rely on shipping goods on those planes to have to move them through other avenues (container ship), exacerbating those same supply chain issues. 

It's probably just fake news. It's probably all Biden's fault.

I'm not talking about April 2020. I'm talking about now.

It's endemic and it will be with us forever. Time to f'ing move on.

Now.

My point is that you [appeared] to be responding to potential impacts that happened in relation to the oil markets that we were discussing. 

My point was that all sorts of things got screwed up due to COVID in 2020, and not just April, and it's going to take a while for those effects to normalize. We all want them to be smooth sailing, but the ripples from the disruptions of 2020 will be with us well into next year [hopefully not so much beyond].

As for your second point that we need to move on as a country/world, which is different than "blaming everything on COVID", I agree.
