It is fun to mock hypocrisy and deceit. While the Administration and their media cheerleaders are trying to blame the supply chain and inflation on greedy corporations and evil farmers, both problems are largely self inflicted.
I’d like to say this is mere incompetence, but with every passing day it appears to be intentional.
As an example, let’s look at how California is ‘solving’ the ridiculous backup of container ships waiting to unload. Awhile back they changed the definition of how many ships are waiting, so the number dropped substantially. In reality, they have forced the ships to wait further out at sea (where they can’t be seen) and the number waiting has actually increased. In my humble view, this is called ‘deceit’.
By the way, the supply chain screw up is getting worse.
Because of the self-inflicted truck-and-driver shortage, off-loaded containers are languishing in unsecured locations where they are being looted. “Thousands of boxes as far as the eye could see were strewn along the railroad tracks .."
This is not litter, my friends, this is the result of rampant looting.
It’s not that the government is unable to prevent this criminal activity. It is simply unwilling.
Progressive Urban Socialists (PUS) in California (and DC) allow this to occur by not prosecuting people who were arrested for stealing from trains.

All of this is easily fixed.
- Temporarily waive the California “Climate Change” restrictions on out-of-state trucks
- Temporarily waive the California prohibition of owner-operators
- Provide security for the backlogged containers sitting in railroad yards.
BTW, unlike illegal jab-mandates, the Federal Gov actually has Constitutional Standing over inter-state transport and trade so it could demand that Governor Newsome make the necessary temporary waivers. Ask yourself, how come Joe and Pete aren’t getting this taken care of??
Instead, they keep passing the buck and passing the blame.
A History Lesson - The Marshal Plan
We are being told that the global economy is a mess because of supply-chain problems -> because of COVID -> because of Trump. This is truly 4th-order “its-not-my-fault” deflection.
If you want to understand real supply-chain problems you need to go back to 1947 when all of Europe, all of Japan and all of Asia was nothing more than smoking ruins. Between 1948 and 1951 the United States provided massive aid (the equivalent of $143B) and put the entire Western world back on the path to prosperity. Today, the Progressives are trying to convince you they need to spend $6T to put us on a path to poverty.
For your consideration… The following is a genuine supply-chain breakdown. I bet it was really difficult to get Amazon Prime deliveries...
Today we are experiencing bare shelves and spiraling inflation all due to a fraudulent supply-chain crisis. It is intentional, willful negligence. If we continue to act like sheep then America will cease to be prosperous.
