Supply is getting better

Maybe the landlords are simply trying to recoup the losses they incurred last year. As I recall, evictions for non-payment of rent were halted until just recently. You can always make it sound bad but some people make a living off rent.

Landlords and shop keepers.

my local Kubota dealership in Alberta Canada had only 1 tractor on lot. Usually they have 20 or more.

My local Chevrolet dealer has zero trucks and cars in his lot and usually this time of the year he has them parked every where he can find a hole.

But not at the same rate as productivity? or are graphs such as these wrong?

Apples and Oranges. Most of the overall productivity gains are due to automation and process improvements. That is not the same thing as increased worker productivity.

Your source has a political ax to grind, so they mix data together to push an agenda.

The trucker mandate that started today for Canada and the 22nd for the US will make things even worst.

Just to be clear, those mandates are for truckers from the opposite country crossing the border. Not a good thing for transportation, but not as bad as a full fledged mandate for all truckers.
Given the minimal interaction truckers tend to have with others, this seems a bit contrived.

They also have bills to pay on those rental units, whether they are receiving rent money or not. I thought that there was an amendment covering seizure without just compensation, but I don't see it.

There's going to be shortages until we beat covid globally. People who are sick or dead can't go to their factory jobs to make stuff. They can't drive trucks or crew ships either.

WOW.
