Truth? We've imported more in the past. So what's changed? Liberal, screw America, policies. You can't get on time delivery, but you can find some shill to explain it away in a heartbeat.
They evidently forgot that Trump was president during 2020 when the shelves were bare...
It always is....That was Biden's fault as well.
Get rid of Biden and put Trump back in.
That would actually work, of course. It's Biden's administration that is causing all the trouble. Covid craziness, supply crises, energy crisis, illegals streaming in with all their diseases --- get rid of Biden and get Trump back and we wouldn't have all this trouble.
America isn't running out of everything just because of a supply-chain crisis. America is running out of everything because Americans are buying so much stuff.
Claims that the US is running short on everything miss a key point. Record imports are part of the reason for the epic supply-chain congestion.www.yahoo.com
America isn't running out of everything just because of a supply-chain crisis. America is running out of everything because Americans are buying so much stuff.
- But US imports are at record levels at some ports, and Americans are breaking shopping records, too.
To understand the situation, consider the country's inventory to sales ratio. This metric, tracked by the US Census Bureau, compares how much stuff sellers have on hand to how much stuff consumers are buying. The ratio is at a 10-year low, which indicates that we're low on stuff.
But the Port of Los Angeles reported a 30% uptick in incoming cargo in the first nine months of this year. (Important note, most of nonfood goods sold in the US come from abroad.) The Port of Charleston, South Carolina, has been breaking all-time records since March. Prologis, a major industrial real-estate player, is "effectively sold out" of warehouse space.
All of that means that the inventory to sales ratio isn't low because the US is short on stuff. It's low because sales have gone completely nuts.
In the first nine months of 2021, retail sales were up 14.5% over the same period in 2020 - a year in which retail sales jumped 8% over 2019. The NRF expected to end the year with sales up 10.5% to 13.5%. Lots of imports and even more spending have driven the inventory to sales ratio down because businesses imported a lot of stuff, and then Americans bought it.
A consumer oriented society buying too much.
This is golden!

Economists are laughing at the spin.
I didn't even mention Biden.No, only mindless BDS folks are laughing at it. You are not allowed to blame it on anything but Biden, it has to be 100% his fault in your fucked up world. The fact that consumer spending is breaking records could not possibly effect supplies in your minds.
what a fucked up way to live
Yes of course! You can also refer to it as long supply chains.America isn't running out of everything just because of a supply-chain crisis. America is running out of everything because Americans are buying so much stuff.

Long supply chains to the US from China for example have been disrupted and broken due to China's need to take extreme precautions on Covid.
Tough shit, snowflake, it's a legitimate post.True, just used a childish, homophobic slur to mention his choice for Transportation Sec.
You're in tune with the program. The only point I can add is that the 'supply chains' are 'long' supply chains. That adds a little more clarity to your point!Supply chain disruptions + higher demand = inflation
Supply and demand, the very foundation of economics.
Tough shit, snowflake, it's a legitimate post.
Are you really trying to tell me how I should think? Seriously?There is nothing legitimate about childish, homophobic slurs. The fact you think so says so much more about you than I ever could.
what next, a few racist slurs? maybe some sexist ones. I am sure you know and use them all.
Are you really trying to tell me how I should think? Seriously?
How about you sticking your head up your ass and roll down the sidewalk?
Well, yeah, yeah you did try and do just that, GG. I said what I said, and stand behind it. You start telling me everything else you thinkOh god no, I would never do that. I think it is great when people like you out themselves on here. Now I know to consider everything you post is coming form a hate-filled bigot. It is good to have these kinds of context.
It's enough that you can intimidate them with the facts! Most of the Trump followers aren't prepared to debate anything of substance. There's no need to go with them on their spamming, profanity, and attempts to insult others.Oh god no, I would never do that. I think it is great when people like you out themselves on here.
