Biden wants to send Americans gift cards for gas but likely can't due to chip shortage
Post Millennial ^ | 6/18/22 | Jarryd Jaeger

With the price of gas becoming prohibitively high across the country, the Biden administration has suggested a variety of solutions aimed at easing the burden on consumers.

They were forced to pull the brakes on their latest plan of simply sending Americans gift cards for gas after it was revealed that the ongoing chip shortage would make it nearly impossible.

1. Classic. Biden has destroyed the economy and caused massive shortages and now his latest giveaway is stymied because of those shortages. 🤣

2. On a more serious note, the US is going in the direction of Venezuela. Inflation being caused by excessive government spending and resulting in the fed monetizing the debt (thus massively increasing the money supply, thus deflating the value of each individual dollar). So the solution is to have more debt spending which will result in more monetizing of the debt, further increasing the money supply, and further deflating the value of the individual dollar. For as bad as the Fed is, it can't fix stupid on the part of the government.

The Fed is truly in a box. My prediction is still that Biden and his idiots will propose some kind of new stimulus check, say $2000, Printing presses will go into high gear, The Fed buys that Debt, Inflation continues, yet the Fed will raise Interest rates another 100 or more basis points next month. Just reshuffling the Deck chairs on the Titanic again.

Exactly.

Biden is doing nothing other than crapping his pants.

His handlers are purposefully collapsing our system to replace it with their communist paradise. Once hyper inflation kicks in people will go into Covid mode to take government handouts to survive and give up their freedoms willingly.

All of this is intentional and by design. They knew gas prices would skyrocket and the economy would spiral. They’ll take away guns and then you won’t be able to live without their handouts. You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.

They’ve got my direct deposit info. Can send me as much as they want. The US is going down anyway and it will help me prep for it.

I looked into ordering a new Lenovo laptop. Their website said the laptop would be shipped in four months.

Never before have I had to wait that long for a laptop to ship.

Biden is a few chips short of a full motherboard.

Lenovo is a Chinese company, possibly linked to the CCP.

Just saying’.

“Biden wants to send Americans gift cards for gas but likely can’t due to chip shortage”

Seems that they will have to print WW2 style coupons for Americans to buy gas at a cheaper price.

Naa, come to think of it, most printers use chips to control them.

Sager is a much better brand. More expensive, but worth it.

Funny, the Govt NEVER NEEDED to depend on Gift Cards for every other “stimulus” they gave to everyone

Seems like now there is China wanting a bigger cut? Or harder to trace the fraud when there are billions of “cards” that “mysteriously” go missing?

Hang every Fed employee (including politicians ) involved in fraud. Make death an automatic reward

Yeah? Is he gonna send everyone who drives a gift card for $2000+ that it will cost us extra? Where’s he gonna get the money? From ‘rich people’? So he’s gonna steal from them to fix a problem that HE created?

So we’ll have a lot more deficit money chasing too little gas. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

I never heard of Sager. All my life, I’ve owned Thinkpads (now Lenovo) or Toshibas.
