Biden Gets To Claim Victory After Supply Chain Crisis Quietly Evaporates

[skews13]

In October, the accelerating U.S. economy ran up against corporate supply chain problems as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic shredded "just-in-time" manufacturing pipelines. Closed factories, shortages of components, and shortages of labor have been features of the pandemic since the beginning—the most famous example in the United States probably being a run on toilet paper in the first months of the pandemic as offices closed. Paper manufacturers were caught flatfooted with warehouses of "office-quality" stuff that nobody who loved their family would dare buy.

The new supply chain problems were more intricate, with a lack of individual electronic components shuttering car manufacturing lines, a lack of spice-sized glass bottles, and similar headaches, but the biggest problem wasn't that the products couldn't be made. It was that Americans began to buy so much that American ports couldn't handle the massive surge of traffic.

Republicans and the political press were outright giddy at the prospect of being able to hammer the not-Trump president over pandemic-caused chaos, but you'll notice that something happened between then and now. Or specifically, something didn'thappen between then and now: The predicted crisis of bare store shelves and wailing giftless children didn't happen. The fears, as the New York Times just put it, "turned out to be wrong."

Oh well righties. Maybe after the holidays you can trump another disaster to hurt America with. Can’t let a good disaster go to waste know. Now head out and do some shopping. Plenty to go around.

Don't you wish Trump was POTUS and could be the one to claim victory here? Cause you know he would have if he was POTUS. But he's not, thank god.

Also, remember you guys said Covid would go away a month after Biden won? That conspiracy theory didn't pan out.

Funny shelves are emptier, and CA ports still backed up.

Progs stole the election. You will never be believed again. It is painful not seeing your cities removed from existence. Only pure insanity would destroy traditional nuclear marriage with children that is difficult and hard work to keep. And you did.

The dude quotes the Daily Kos saying there's nothing to see here!!! Do you need anymore proof Dims live in an alternate reality?

What would he be claiming "victory" for? Unfucking a situation which he never should've allowed to happen in the first place?

He shouldn't be claiming victory, he should be begging for forgiveness...

 

[pknopp]

Seems to me that it isn't as bad as predicted but it's hardly evaporated.

People in different ethnic/cultural/religious/gender groups will never learn how they get killed by others. They believe that no one will blame them for their sucess if that success is based on taking advantage of others if they promote nirvana for all even if that is not the truth.
