Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg warned that the devastating global supply chain troubles that continue to be a drag on the economy and threaten gift giving during the holiday season could continue as long as the coronavirus pandemic.
“There are definitely going to continue to be issues, especially as long as the pandemic continues, right? If you have, for example, the third largest container port in the world in China shutting down because of a COVID outbreak in late summer, you’ll feel that in the fall here on the West Coast,” Buttigieg told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”

A bit like the never-ending pandemic.
It is clear that this administration is not interested in solving any problem and a case could be made that they are doing everything they can to make things worse -
Butt—he is new at the jab!
That is what you get when you put in a new politician, who hasn't learned the necessity of lying all the time, yet.
“”There are definitely going to continue to be issues””
What’s his first language?
In other words, forever.
> Trump could have fixed this in 72hrs. <
Yep. Trump is a Patton. Many folks don’t like Patton-types because Pattons are often rude and vulgar. But Pattons are also bold, decisive, and very competent.
We need a Patton in the White House now. But we have a babbling Grandpa Simpson there instead.
“The entire aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and, hence, clamorous to be led, by an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

“because Pattons are often rude and vulgar.”
Neither were.
It's a characteristic of incompetent managers to pick subordinates that are even more incompetent than they are. This avoids the threat of being shown up as a fool, or worse yet being superseded, by a subordinate.

How does a dearth of shipping in China cause a glut of shipping in the United States?
Funny how didn’t have these supply chain problems during the first year of covid when there were actual factories shut and lockdown all over, with people buying everything sitting at home
So...this means supply chain issues will be with us, like, FOREVER?
And manufacturing most of our durable consumer goods!!!
There was never a supply chain problem when our factories where in Indiana and not Sichuan Province.
The Pandemic isn’t the cause of these problems. The government...with trucking rules like Ca has enacted at the heart of the west coast problems.
Well, that is the plan after all.
Yep, Buttplug is declaring a cover-all reason for his failure. Not his fault, its “Covid”.
Well said.
> Not his fault, its “Covid”. <
I’m actually surprised that Buttigieg didn’t also blame Climate Change. But maybe that will come later.
