In the midst of the holiday season, many are experiencing a lack of items on the shelves, in stores and online, and massive delays in shipping. Unlike years before, many got an early start on holiday shopping to allow for extra time for presents to arrive in time for the holidays. In this week's episode, we talk about material items and needs, consumerism during the holiday season and how all of this exacerbated by an already strained supply chain here in the U.S. Do we have too many things? Do we really need things? Why are things taking forever to arrive? These are just some questions we address in this episode. Follow us on IG @parallelwaze.
