In today’s Big Story podcast, depending on where you stand, you may have blamed anything from COVID-19 to vaccine mandates, protesters to climate change, or even the federal government for the empty shelves you’ve seen. And all those answers are valid. But the reasoning you’ll hear from politicians depends on who you ask.
