Having made a mess of Afghanistan, the Biden administration now turns its trademark incompetence to something closer to home; namely, the supply chains that put toys under our Christmas trees and food on our tables.
Biden is using the pandemic as an excuse, but the truth is that government diktats, handouts, and cronyism have catastrophically gummed up our supply chains, and it's getting worse.
Supply chains are in trouble worldwide due to Chinese disruptions, and the U.S. stands out by far, particularly the Port of Los Angeles, which-together with the adjacent Port of Long Beach-handles 40% of containers bringing both finished goods to American homes and critical parts and materials to American factories.
2A Mug Home Depot and Target resorted to chartering their own ships, only to run into the meat grinder of inland supply chains.
It's layer after layer, with supply chains failing at every stage like dominos.
What is driving the chaos? Government, along with union chokeholds, environmental and labor mandates on truckers, mandates on supply chain workers across the board, crony trade restrictions, and excessive unemployment benefits, nationwide, but especially in California.
If Biden is serious about solving supply chains, he needs to get ports, truckers, railroads, and warehouses back to work.
