Supply chains wouldn’t be disrupted if people would just stop buying stuff!
And if we had affordable child care, apparently.
Let Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explain:
Josh Kraushaar ~ Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg repeatedly claims the shortage of affordable child care main culprit for supply chain issues and employer shortages, in interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
There’s video here if you don’t believe Kraushaar’s tweet.
Uh-huh.
Well, if nothing else, the Biden administration is getting more creative.
Sean Agnew ~ The problem is affordable child care is stuck in containers at the ports.
Michael Brendan Dougherty ~ Ah yes. once you drop a day care into a neighborhood, long haul truckers spring forth from it.
That seems to be what Buttigieg is getting at.
Which puts us in the unfortunate position of having to try to process it all while knowing that the people calling all the shots are idiots.
Jay ~ Just spaghetti at a wall until something sticks.
Until spaghetti gets too expensive. Then they’ll have to settle for ice cubes.
Ben Shapiro ~ This makes zero economic sense. But it is a great way for him to pretend that it was fine for him to take two months off in the middle of a supply chain crisis for paternity leave.
Ah.
Jay Caruso ~ Buttigieg is the guy Biden was talking about sitting next to you at a restaurant, who doesn't know anything about the supply chain.
AG ~ It’s not a great sign that the people tasked with helping alleviate the current problems seem to have zero understanding of what is causing them and so they pretend the solutions are just the policies they supported outside the context of the current environment.
We can’t believe we’re saying this, but Mike Brzezinski speaks for all of us in this moment:
Christy Lewis ~ THIS. This whole #mood.
