Much discussed — and rightly so — is the Joe Biden-made disaster that is our frozen supply chain.
Supply Chain Shortages Are Blocking Multiple Industries
We are a very large geographical country — with 330+ million people contained herein. We require lots of stuff to get by day-to-day.
To service this land mass of humanity, we have developed a very intricate, interworking web of boats and planes, trucks and trains, cars and even bikes and bicycles to get things to people who need or want them. This is the supply chain.
It is a marvel of free market, private sector ingenuity. But when we have a President that is opposed to free market, private sector ingenuity – things rapidly grind to a halt.
About which we warned in August 2020….
Biden’s ‘Build Back Never’: His Endless Government Assaults Will Make Building America Impossible
Every aspect of our supply chain is now under attack.
The chain requires lots and lots of oil and gasoline. Biden’s government is assaulting every aspect of their extraction, processing and delivery.
The chain requires lots of people working to ensure everything is delivered — The Chain Gang, if you will. Biden’s government is paying people quite generously to do nothing — so why would they look to get paid to do something?
And lots of people who are willing to work -— but not willing to subject themselves to experimental, highly problematic, and ineffectual vaccines for a virus with a 99+% survival rate? Biden’s government is forcing them out of work by the millions.
The chain is being damaged — way up the technology ladder. We are suffering a massive semiconductor chip shortage. Which means government is going to allegedly spend trillions of dollars on infrastructure — but won’t actually be able to upgrade or update a whole lot of the infrastructure. Or the machines to repair or build the infrastructure.
Biden’s government is hyper-regulating everyone and everything.
He is eviscerating the value of our money — causing everything to artificially cost more and more, as we make less and less.
And he is looking to dramatically increase taxes on the companies that make the supply chain work.
The chain can only take so much government sand — before the gears grind to a halt. And here we are.
But fear not – Biden’s on the case…in his way. Get this:
By “on the case” ? We mean he’s saying a problem he’s caused that we’ve had for months — may start to be a problem in a few months.
Hey, Clueless Joe — where have you been?

Some of the things of which we are short in this government-induced pinch — we can wait on a bit. It’s awful for the people who design, manufacture, deliver, and sell these things — but the broader population can do without for a little while.

Of course, a lot of the things of which we are short — are life staples.
Supply Chain Impacts What Happened to All the Toilet Paper?
And nothing is a bigger life staple — than food. Uh oh….
Grocery Store Shelves to Be Bare: Brace Yourself:
“The ongoing global supply chain disruption is becoming a bona fide crisis. Already, strains on the supply chain are prompting many of the nation’s biggest food manufacturers to give a heads up to giant grocery store chains that they are going to have trouble keeping up with demand….
“Basics…are, in all likelihood, going to be hard to come by….”
Outstanding news.
We’ve warned for many years that government’s serial mass-abuse of our farmers and ranchers has created a highly tenuous food supply chain situation.
Too many taxes, too many regulations – and too many terrible trade deals.…

And now our grocery store shelves — are getting empty.
What we need to feed us — is massive rollbacks of Biden’s very many ridiculous policies. And of a whole lot of other ridiculous government policies.
The Solution to Our Looming Farm Crash: Less Government Everywhere
Most unfortunately, that is nowhere on the Biden menu.
Ultimately it’s all about population reduction.
See: Bill Gates, Maurice Strong, Club of Rome.
Build pipelines back better....
My solution
Make cars that run on only gasoline no chips all mechanics next teslsa
stop growing corn to put in gasoline. grow food.
start some of the new nuclear plants/batteries technology
dig coal and make sure we are safe secure and warm in winter
free flow of oil energy production.
unleash the ingenuity of america
maybe create a whole new generation of thinking people again?

Not just food. Was in wally world today and health and beauty shelfs were sparse. Bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste. Don’t know how long retailers can operate like this.

With Christmas buying just around the corner retail establishments are already training staff how to respond to customers upset over availability of what they want.
Biden’s fault?
You’re lucky - here in the UK it’s the fault of BREXIT!
Actually, I suspect the problems are far more basic and common to both governments.
Deliberate collapse of the system - all out - full spectrum warfare against the USA by the collaborators as directed by their puppet masters.
China loving watching their efforts be successful.
CCP better watch out for the boomerang effect. Xiden ain’t gonna be there forever.
And they actually attacked the entire world along with the USA. Do they really think the entire world is just gonna roll over and let them get by with this attack?
They just might have miscalculated, and I hope they get double the trouble sooner rather than later.
Well China’s everywhere operating in this country, at every level......Obama allowed and encouraged it and now he’s running his 3rd term this administration isn’t going to do a dang thing against China....rather they see them as just another country we can work with....just as Obama did before.
And the world leaders will let it ride as well....don’t think for a minute leaders abroad are going to “manage” China.....they aren’t and won’t. They say much but never act.
doesn’t matter. I can last quite awhile with what I have in stock.
Bkmk
I was thinking the same thing. I order things online for my elderly mother, Estee Lauder face cream, things like that, even Hershey’s Symphony Chocolate bars from Amazon. All are backlogged to the end of November.
This was preceded by raising a small flock of chickens - mainly for eggs and manure (lots of vegetable gardens).
We all knew this was coming, but many just didn't heed the call to get out of debt and prepare a Plan B and C. "He who has ears to hear, let them hear."
I’ve been reading out the UK’s shortages. Seems you have the same problems, a shortage of truck drivers (lorry?) as well as empty shelves.
As far as the US goes, the major problem isn’t Biden’s policies so much, rather its the unions’ limited work hours. According to the morning cable news, FJB Admin is negotiating with the unions to work 24/7 and with the major carriers : rail, truck and individual companies to unload the ships faster and get the stuff to its destination.
However, the key word above is ‘negotiating’ - not a done deal yet.
Looks like the ChiComs finally have control of most, if not all, of our major ports.
