About This Video
Bleach shortage.. So I went to three stores this weekend, including Costco and they’re all out of bleach. Nobody knows what’s going on.
Background & Context
In my three decades in the industry, I’ve seen the rise and fall of trends, but this bleach shortage is something else. It’s not just about not being able to clean your clothes or your home, it’s a symptom of a larger issue: supply chain disruptions. These disruptions, caused by various factors from climate change to labor shortages, are affecting all sectors, including the household goods industry. This matters because it affects everyday life, from what we wear to what we eat. If bleach can run out, so can other necessities. Let’s delve into this and keep the conversation going.
