Honestly though, the biggest obstacles to the arterial flow of the supply chain are always political. Logistics is insanely complex, from an organizational perspective, but that complexity isn’t what prevents aid and food making it to sick, hungry people. If we wanted to, on a political level, unify and end world hunger, we could do it. We have the tools and network.
We don’t have the universal level of compassion and sense of prioritization for tearing down borders and creating a system to make the world better.
As someone with a decade in logistics… yup.
