It's John, here again with your weekend long reads. | | As always, we've got an abundance of great journalism to share with you. And that's a good thing, because it seems like everywhere else you look, America is dealing with shortages. From homes to cars and even chicken wings, the reopening of the economy in the wake of the COVID-19 has strained the supply of seemingly everything. | | With those shortages has come another unpleasant trend: inflation.
