business news in context, analysis with attitude

•  CNN reports that "Costco is having trouble stocking imported cheeses because of a shortage of shipping containers around the globe and bottlenecks at key West Coast ports, such as Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland and Seattle. The combination has led to delays for suppliers shipping their goods, retailers like Costco receiving products, and higher costs along the supply chain."

CFO Richard Galanti says that "the problem isn't just limited to cheese, but also seafood, olive oils, furniture, sporting goods and lawn and garden equipment."
