From zippers to glass, shortages of basic goods hobble U.S. economy

From Reuters (paywall) article in Mac's Stocks app,

Shortages of metals, plastics, wood and even liquor bottles are now the norm.
The upshot is a world where buyers must wait for delivery of items that were once plentiful, if they can get them at all. Rash has piles of tents she can’t ship because she can’t get the right aluminum tubing for their frames, for instance, while others lack the right zippers.
Along with the shortages come hefty price increases, which has fueled fears of a wave of sustained inflation.
There’s growing tension among Federal Reserve policymakers over how to gauge the long-term impact on prices. Some Fed policymakers are more convinced than others that price pressures will recede after some of the supply chain disruptions are resolved. How this debate evolves could influence how quickly the Fed moves to reduce the pace of asset purchases launched at the start of the pandemic, and how soon it lifts the policy interest rate from its current level near zero.

Don't see supply chain is a short term issue as many inflation signs surface everywhere.
