Hopefully the demand will continue for such a well made product and the jobs will stay here in America. There has been many products and services across the USA in short supply this last year. Many blame Co Vid as many workers got sick and missed work or many stayed home to take care of children or themselves. Remember "Forbidden Fruit makes many Jams"
