Biden Tries to Explain the Supply Chain Crisis and It Goes Horribly Bad

(Abby Liebing) The supply chain has been suffering ever since COVID-19 started, but now consumers are becoming keenly aware of the crisis as grocery store shelves remain empty and the holidays approach.

Ships are idle in Los Angeles ports, unable to unload at the clogged docks, which means that millions of dollars worth of goods are simply sitting at sea.

There are shortages of toilet paper (yet again), furniture, toys, electronics and more. Consumers are getting worried that Christmas presents won’t arrive in time. Prices of basic goods are the grocery are rising with inflation.

Everyone, from port authorities to governors and the president, is trying to address these problems. But President Biden’s recent comments on the situation inspire little hope in his abilities to solve this crisis.

During a White House briefing on Nov. 6, Biden rambled about how his “Build Back Better” plan will invest in American infrastructure, which will magically solve all of the problems in our economy.

“The House of Representatives passed an Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.  That’s a fancy way of saying a bipartisan infrastructure bill — a once-in-a-generation investment that’s going to create millions of jobs modernizing our infrastructure — our roads, our bridges, our broadband, a whole range of things — to turn the climate crisis into an opportunity,” Biden said.

Apparently, this plan will also solve the supply chain crisis overnight.

“It’s going to make it easier for companies to get goods to market more quickly and reduce supply chains’ bottlenecks and now — and now and for decades to come,” Biden said.

Fumbling for a way to explain the supply chain crisis, the very thing that Biden was claiming that his plan would fix, is also not a great way to persuade the public. Here is a sampling of Biden’s almost incoherent statement:

“It’s backed up because peoples supplies or materials that end up being on our kitchen table or in our in in our our fam, our our our life, guess what? There close those plants because they have COVID.”

In the midst of trying to convince everyone that his plans will solve all the economic problems, Biden began to belittle everyone by saying that the economics were just so complicated that no one can really understand it.

Talking to an audience as if they are dumb is not a great tactic for convincing them that your ideas are good.

“[W]hether you have a PhD or you’re — or you’re working, you know, in a restaurant, it’s confusing.  And so, people are understandably worried.  They’re worried,” Biden said.

We probably should be worried, since about $24 billion worth of goods is just floating in the ocean, unable to be unloaded.

We should probably be worried that our president thinks the supply chain is incomprehensible, yet he is trying to solve it.

The supply chain crisis, while it is multi-faceted and stretches across nearly every market, is not terribly difficult to understand: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a shortage of workers (for several reasons), which snarled the operations of shipping companies and manufacturers. Simultaneously, consumer spending shifted and increased out of fear of lack of supply. The result is the supply chain crisis.

The holiday season always increases demand from consumers, as people rush to buy Christmas presents. So the political cost of the supply chain crisis is increasing. Every time a consumer walks into a store and finds empty shelves, it’s Biden’s fault.

Biden can’t suffer the damage of being the administration that ruined Christmas of 2021. His ratings, which have already been plummeting, would certainly take another hit.

If Biden really wants to succeed, he will have to find a way to fix the supply chain crisis and not ruin Christmas. The first step in doing so is not talking down to the American population like we’re a bunch of imbeciles who can’t understand basic economics.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
