Even when there is no flour and Christmas toys, will you blame the no green passes?

Already a few weeks ago, he told me that a friend of his, who heads the logistics of a large Italian freight brand, has long been faced with the problem of empty trucks.

That is to say that there are not enough goods to transport and therefore it is in difficulty to run the entire fleet of trucks of the company.

The detail, which is not negligible, is hidden in the fact that the company in question mainly deals with imports.

What he wanted to point out to me consists in the fact that in Italy for months now there has been a continuous decline in goods available for our internal market.

The matter is confirmed by image n.2 which illustrates, through a graph, how both the European market and the American market are affected by the consequences of the bottleneck that goods face in order to enter our markets.

And by markets I also mean supermarkets, so we understand each other.

If there is a shortage of wheat for pasta

In short, a decline in incoming goods has been going on for many months now.

Have we understood each other now?

And so that there are no further possible misunderstandings, let's also look at images n.3 and n.4.

Now, anyone who has read the book, The Easy Explained Economy, will know that in the chapter that talks about the market prices of goods beaten on the stock exchanges, they know that I have made a very precise mention of a similar situation, even if the causes (perhaps) they are not comparable to each other; but we will discover this only by living.

You call it if you want inflation

Scarcity rhymes with rising prices. The prices of some commodities in the last year have even doubled.
Taken together, these increases drive up inflation. Some data speak of a 3% and in some cases even 8%, and the data below are updated for this spring / summer.
Not to date.

Blame the wheat: will we have a European winter after the Arab spring?

The fact is that in my book, in image 5, I remind the most forgetful readers that the price of wheat had skyrocketed due to an artificial shortage, that is, produced by the spillage of entire vessels in the Mediterranean.

Do you remember the Arab Spring?

And nothing, connecting the dots I returned to the image of the trucks of that transport company that is taking over the Italian market.

They are vehicles of the Hop Trans, a little Italian name.

And so it seemed logical to me to think that this fleet, given its origin, is one of those products below cost that are doing away with those companies, such as the one where my friend's friend works, which are already out of the market, so much so that to be able to fill his trucks.

At least there is a hint of irony in all this and that is what only life can give us.

That name: Hop Trans, so assonant in the battles for civil rights against which almost all of our young people and the majority of Italians have fought in recent years.

Imagining where they will put it goes hand in hand, but while TV and newspapers will tell the provex that, if there are no toys for Christmas gifts in the shops, it is the fault of Trieste's no green passes blocking the ports – yes, I admit, I would love it, because I would enjoy like a macaque, but that is not the reason – the real reason for the possible "European winter" is in that bottleneck and the Hop Trans behind it.

Ah, I had already described this situation to you a year and a half ago in this article .
