The threat of another economic shutdown is looming in many people’s minds these days as COVID-19 variants continue to spread. But how concerned should we really be about that possibility?

Anthony Smith and Zach Strickland debate the likelihood of another lockdown on this episode of Freightonomics. Using the news of air and seaport shutdowns across Asia as a benchmark, they discuss what a shutdown could do to the markets and the economy as a whole. 

Logistics Titans founder and President Wes Struebing joins the guys to offer his perspective on what locking down would do to America and if the American people would even abide by stricter COVID-19 measures. 


He also talks about how people and people’s buying habits drive price changes for commodities and how once those prices rise, they tend to stick around.
