Democrats and their policies have broken our supply chain and many businesses

[jknowgood]

Trump is destroying Democracy & you're whining about NOODLES?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What will you do when pantyhose are gone?

Trump isn't in power, for the time being.

 

[jknowgood]

Ooooooh look! Another Trump asslicker whining because he can't pig out on a patty melt as Dear Leader Trump destroys Democracy & his lackeys like Scalise give him a helping hand.

Amazing.

You're such an idiot.

 

[jknowgood]

The Country is not falling apart although that's what you Trump lackeys want. These supply issues have been simmering since last year when your boy was in office. Or don't you remember when items such as t.p. were in short supply? Whete were you guys then?

How soon you Trumptards forget.

We had a toilet paper shortage because of dumbasses like yourself. There were plenty of food on the shelves and prices were tolerable. Since Biden took over we are having shortages and prices are through the roof. Biden owns this.

 

[jknowgood]

Oh, you mean the leftist policies when Trump/Kushner were handling the COVID response last year, idiot?

Fauci handled the policies. Guess what party he supports.

 

[jknowgood]

First of all...this is the result of a "just in time" supply chain.

Second...we had a global SHUT DOWN in that just in time supply chain

Ya know...because of a virus that is STILL raging

Thanks Biden.

Fauci handled the policies. Guess what party he supports.

The one who shut his funding down or the one that started it back up?

 

[jknowgood]

Kinda like Trump running his own businesses into the ground & his numerous bankruptcies.

Like that?

He is worth over a billion dollars. Better than your welfare self.

 

[jknowgood]

The one who shut his funding down or the one that started it back up?

What are you babbling about?

 

[pknopp]

What are you babbling about?

You know what I am saying.

 

[Lesh]

Thanks Biden.

Biden built the supply chain?

Biden shut down the global economy?

No?

Ohhh

 

[Clipper]

Trump isn't in power, for the time being.

Sure he is. He's in control of his lackeys like Scalise, Graham & the rest of them in the former Republican Party which is now the Trump party of asslickers, pathalogical liars, enablers, fascists, who are groveling at the feet of Trump, scared shitless he may endorse their opponent. They're all spineless, hell bent on returning Trump back in power knowing full well that he's a malignant psychopath.

 

[Clipper]

He is? Prove it.

I'm not on welfare, asswipe. Nope, never was, never will be.

1. Endless lockdowns.
2. Paying people to not work.
3. Mask & vaccine mandates.

Those 3 things have broken the back of our workforce and many businesses. The predictions were made by many on the right when this nonsense started and now the fruits of those policies have come to fruition.

From ships unable to offload to a lack of truckers to tens or hundreds of thousands of employees being fired across the nation for not getting the poke. Then you have a shortage of teachers. A shortage of police. Some areas desperate for substitute teachers while others telling people not to call 911 because there aren't enough police to respond. Store shelves becoming bare in some areas again. Etc...

There is no better example of how bad the left can fuck shit up than what we're seeing now. The only question is how bad is this disaster going to get...

This is a worldwide problem, thus I think you all give far too much credit to the Dems/Biden.

Yet the shortage economy is also the product of two deeper forces. First, decarbonisation. The switch from coal to renewable energy has left Europe, and especially Britain, vulnerable to a natural-gas supply panic that at one point this week had sent spot prices up by over 60%. A rising carbon price in the European Union’s emissions-trading scheme has made it hard to switch to other dirty forms of energy. Swathes of China have faced power cuts as some of its provinces scramble to meet strict environmental targets. High prices for shipping and tech components are now triggering increased capital expenditure to expand capacity. But when the world is trying to wean itself off dirty forms of energy, the incentive to make long-lived investments in the fossil-fuel industry is weak.

...

The second force is protectionism. As our special report explains, trade policy is no longer written with economic efficiency in mind, but in the pursuit of an array of goals, from imposing labour and environmental standards abroad to punishing geopolitical opponents.

This week Joe Biden’s administration confirmed that it would keep Donald Trump’s tariffs on China, which average 19%, promising only that firms could apply for exemptions (good luck battling the federal bureaucracy). Around the world, economic nationalism is contributing to the shortage economy. Britain’s lack of lorry drivers has been exacerbated by Brexit. India has a coal shortage in part because of a misguided attempt to cut imports of fuel. After years of trade tensions, the flow of cross-border investment by companies has fallen by more than half relative to world gdp since 2015.

Aren't Trump supporters saying we shouldn't follow Fauci's advice? All the same, the quote was asked for and it was provided.

As I said, it wasn't that Trump didn't lock down the country in the early months of the initial virus...But, what Faun was doing there is highly dishonest. Democrats have been screaming that Trump didn't act on all fronts in battling this pandemic, when nothing could be further from the truth...And now that the supply chain issue is starting to rear its ugly head, Democrats like Faun want it both ways...So, which was it? Did Trump act, or didn't he?

This issue started before this year......but as I said above, Biden needs to handle it or he and his party will take the blame.

On that we can agree...When the supply chain was disrupted last year, it was always going to filter down...Being a Trucker for the past 28 years I can tell ya, it's going to get worse.

Biden built the supply chain?

Biden shut down the global economy?

No?

Ohhh

He pays people to stay at home.
Vaccine mandates starting to cripple the economy. What could happen?

So, IOW, giving up our energy sources for a bumper sticker wealth redistribution scheme is going to cause collapse? Who'd have thunk it?

Try $18 for a piece of steak. That's what I payed this weekend and that was on the cheaper side. If you want 3 or 4 steaks packaged together try $40 to$60 bucks.

Hard of reading, con? I said the country shut down after Trump recommended it. I don't care whose idea it was. I don't care who Trump took advice from. Those words above came out of Trump's mouth. He recommended it.

But to your credit, you're a good, obedient trumper humper who feels obligated to defend Trump at all costs. So you did your job. Good boy, have another Snausage.

Oh, so he shouldn't have followed the advice of his advisors like Fauci and shutdown the country?

 

[jknowgood]

Sure he is. He's in control of his lackeys like Scalise, Graham & the rest of them in the former Republican Party which is now the Trump party of asslickers, pathalogical liars, enablers, fascists, who are groveling at the feet of Trump, scared shitless he may endorse their opponent. They're all spineless, hell bent on returning Trump back in power knowing full well that he's a malignant psychopath.

Like I said, Biden owns this mess. If he would quit paying people not to work. We could have a booming economy, but that's not what liberals want. So now they have Biden to do the dirty work and when our country crashes. They can blame Biden, get rid of him and move on. Why else would they have a demented fool as their leader.
