Exactly. Shutdown the economy for a year, and print money to bridge the gap, and you have a perfect storm.

The pathological narcissism of calling other people’s lives and livelihoods as “nonessential” was evident at the time.

Recessions fix supply chain problems and inflation. It’s just a long lead and lag cycle. Still too many dollars chasing too few goods and jobs. We will be at 8% unemployment by Thanksgiving. 8% Mortgage rates. 8% inflation. Triple eights.

Now, to complete the damage, attack domestic oil production, and continue to drive manufacturing offshore.

We are witnessing the planned destruction of the Western Civilizatiion and thus America too, in order to make the ‘great reset’. Sadly, the media are posing any notion as alternative to admitting what is happening right before our eyes, thus enabling the evil to thrive. Individual freedom is an obstacle to the totalitarian ‘reset’. It must be dissolved away.

Our historic “supply chain problems” are not the result of happenstance. They are the result of cowardly, ignorant, and just plain malevolent leadership throughout the entire Covid era.

Cowardly

Ignorant

Malevolent

I'm no fan of the GOP establishment, but there is pretty much NOTHING for them to do at this point -- at least in Washington.

Let the Democrats own this mess.

Don't criticize the GOP until we get into election season and we see what they bring to the table.

Keep in mind that Newt Gingrich's epic "Contract With America" campaign in 1994 wasn't rolled out until late September when the key issues and voter sentiment had begun to crystalize.

The trucking industry is running less efficiently today than it ever has.

Long-haul drivers are permitted to drive up to 11 hours a day. An MIT study published last December indicated that the average driver in 2021 was only on the road for 6 to 7 hours. This is all being driven by excessive down time due to load scheduling problems and extended time spent at loading docks at understaffed warehouses.

Do the math. Many of those trucks you see on I-95 wouldn't need to be there if the supply chain was working more efficiently.

Meanwhile, from 6 months ago...

US regulators balk at billion-dollar takeover of Ports America FMC commissioners warn of foreign investors controlling US supply chains

I'd balk, too, at the prospect of the ChiComs controlling most of our major ports. Can't find any word on the status of the sale, though. That can't be good.

They’ve done to the country what they have done to Liberal cities .... for so long.

Who needed to hand them the WH, for proof of that? Who actually thought it would go any differently??

What math? We are surrounded by a steady stream of trucks flying down the highway using both lanes bumper to bumper. Yet theres a supply chain issue? I think its the 2 year lockdown and the walmarts of the world are just trying to restock their empty shelves.
