Don’t Expect a Merry Christmas – expect shortages in stores

@Mustangride1 you just explained WHY that will never be done under a demented dem’s admin.

Now, if the CCP attacks Taiwan (after the CCP olympics), then the west can cut off all trade, and force companies to make their products domestically.

But since the dems ARE the CCP party in the us, I doubt even that will happen.

Out-of-touch Biden threatens private sector companies as polls nosedive

President Biden has figured out how to fix the supply chain problems that are pushing prices higher and frustrating consumers. His solution?  Threaten the private sector.

Bravo.

“If the private sector doesn’t step up, we’re going to call them out and ask them to act.”

People have been calling out the government for ages to act on tons of issues.  Still waiting.

In other words, Biden suspects private corporations of not working hard enough to satisfy customers’ needs in a timely manner. He seems to think that retailers are content to have bare shelves come Christmas, and that shipping firms don’t worry that they will not get goods delivered to their destinations on time.

What on earth is he talking about?

Have you even looked at your employment numbers?

Since, as usual, Biden took no questions from reporters after his remarks, we will never know.

Because the so-called leader of the us has no answers.

Maybe Biden is simply ignorant of how businesses operate since he has no real-world private sector experience. He has never run a store, solved logistical challenges or met a payroll. He doesn’t appreciate what makes CEOs sweat or know how to incentivize business owners.

Ignorance is bliss. and dementia joe is very blissful indeed.

But Biden is not blameless. He and the Democrat-controlled Congress have helped cause an outsized surge in demand by unnecessarily pumping too much money into an already-hot economy. They have also contributed to a shortage of workers that is plaguing every aspect of the supply chain. By rolling out benefits like extended unemployment pay, rent subsidies and increased food stamps, all offered with no work requirements, Biden and Democrats in Congress reduced the pressure to get back on the job.

But that is all Trump’s fault!  Even a year after the fact, it is still all Trump’s fault demented joe is in the WH and that people around the world is calling out “let’s go brandon.”  When we all know what the slogan really is.

In addition, the president’s vaccine mandate has caused truckers and other workers key to the movement of goods, already in short supply, to leave their jobs at the worst possible time.

Just take the jab, man!

Biden has not just crimped the number of people working; his administration has also intentionally raised prices…

And inflation!

Biden is stuck in the 1950s…

And the US is stuck with him as well… and that laughing hyena as vp.

Dumb and dumber!

The US is running out of cardboard and packaging materials as the supply chain crisis drags on, making it harder for retailers to ship online orders

Retailers in the throes of navigating the supply chain crisis will soon confront yet another hurdle – an even shorter supply of cardboard boxes that was already growing scarce.

Merry Christmas it will be?

Low containerboard and corrugated cardboard inventory has been a mounting issue since early this year, thanks to meteoric growth in e-commerce during the pandemic.

Just one of the factors.

“Brands often don’t have the means to resolve this fundamental issue in time for the holiday season, therefore they must be prepared for an increased amount of customer service inquiries around product inventory check, back order status, fulfillment delays, and increased second-degree inquiries that are caused by out of stock and fulfillment delay situations,”…

So buy from your local businesses in-person.  Support local businesses!  And shop early to make sure you have the gifts before they run out!

The supply chain crisis could last into 2023 unless governments boost spending in ports, railways, and warehouses, a shipping exec warns

The CEO of one of the world’s largest shipping companies is calling for governments to step in and take action to fix the global supply chain crisis and prevent delays and shortages from rolling on beyond the end of next year.

So it is up to the government to fix your problems and make you more profits?

Jeremy Nixon, CEO of freight company Ocean Network Express, said that local governments need to increase spending on critical parts of the supply chain – including ports, railways, warehouses, and roads – to increase capacity and cope with ongoing demand. Ocean Network Express has a fleet of 220 ships and transports more than 6% of the world’s containerized freight, according to the FT.

Yay, I can see why you want the government to increase the supply chain, your business is entirely based on it.

“There needs to be some government support here to maybe switch people out of some parts of the economy where demand is not so strong to more critical parts of the economy where the demand is very strong and important for global supply chains,”

Are how are you going to force people/employees to do this?

“If we get a bad jam up in July, August, and September of 2022 in North America that could well last late into 2022 and early 2023,” Nixon said.

So if the ports are a big issue, why not MOVE the manufacturing within the nation.  You bring back good paying jobs, getting more people earning money and taxes, and spread out the bottleneck that are the port systems.
