Another Biden Boner--Ships Wait and Wait

[Dave Sundersen]

Have you had enough of Joe Biden's America yet?
I sure hope you have.

Trump is looking pretty good at this point.

guarantee-christmas-packages-will-arrive-time/>

"White House ‘Cannot Guarantee’ Christmas Packages Will Arrive on
Time"

"The White House admitted Wednesday they were unable to guarantee
packages would arrive on time this Christmas.

“We are not the postal service, or UPS, or FedEx,” White House press
secretary Jen Psaki said. “We cannot guarantee. What we can do is
use every lever at the federal government’s disposal to reduce
delays.”

Psaki repeatedly posited that the government would work to solve
supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are
forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded."

"She did not offer many specific actions the government planned to
take, but admitted there were challenges facing the supply chain.

Psaki also could not offer a timeline for when the supply chains
would get resolved or if shipping disruptions would get worse before
it got better

“Look, I can’t make a prediction for you that we’re going to solve
every issue tomorrow and next week. We’re not,” she said."

"The White House proposed Wednesday long-term proposals to ease
traffic at the ports, opening up the Los Angles port to 24/7
operations and supporting states to speed up licensing for truck
drivers.

“We can’t overpromise here, and I’m not going to do that from here
because there are a lot of issues in the supply chain,” Psaki said.

She acknowledged that Americans were suffering from high costs of
food and products, but insisted that Biden was taking the issues
seriously.

“A lot of these issues are not as simple as a one sentence
explanation,” Psaki said."

Instead, I'm expected to ignore it all, and play make believe with them so
they can just rehash the game all over again, while they accept no responsibility
for what they say and do online towards myself and others?

Can you stop asking for my attention?

Michael Glasser Snit shared a specific series of sites several times now,
and invited Ryan 'The Flooder' Sullivan to show which ones aren't accurate
and provide the testimony to back his claim. At no time has Ryan 'The Flooder'
Sullivan done so. I want Ryan 'The Flooder' Sullivan to support their socking
accusation. Let's see the message ID Ryan 'The Flooder' Sullivan. When I
accused Ryan 'The Flooder' Sullivan of flooding as Michael Glasser Snit I
actually supported it with links.

No no. Snit Glasser Michael never agreed to stop flooding. He lied about
his trolling which surprised nobody. If you have 'some_file.pdf' open
in a word processor such as Cooledit and you want to change its name
to 'windows.pdf' via a bash script, that might be wise.

Is Nospam envious about Snit Glasser Michael having six web pages warning

What I think is funny is all these companies and their "just in time"
manufacturing model. Sure, it's saves inventory costs, when things
are running like a well-oiled machine. But the Suez gets stuffed-up
for a few days and it's a disaster.

Then, when something even bigger happens, it's a fscking calamity that
costs untold $billions and supply shortages up the ying-yang.

And one company in Taiwan makes about HALF of the world's
semiconductors! What happens if we get cut off from that?

Precisely. JIT is cheaper but brittle.

Screwed. Only good news there is that they’ve already told China that if
invaded, they’ll sabotage their foundries & evacuate the ~150 key personnel
who can fix them on a single flight…that threat is probably more credible than
promises of US military intervention.

Valid point.
Auto manufacturers are notorious for "just in time" parts supplies.

The USA has lost control of manufacturing and sold out to the Asia
Pacific companies all in the name of saving money and maximizing
profits for the shareholders.

This was so evident during the early days of the pandemic where PPE
could not be supplied because guess who controlled the market.

Trump was trying to bring manufacturing back to the USA along with
energy independence. He was somewhat successful but overall I think
he failed.

Biden OTOH is making a complete mess of things. People don't realize
that confidence in world leaders plays a role in stock prices,
interest rates, manufacturing and literally everything financial.
When the market gets skittish, bad things can happen.
It's not all a matter of factual data because if that were true,
everyone with a high powered computer could game the market.

If Biden were smart, and he's not, he would immediately cease the
begging OPEC and oil/gas companies and stop the blame game while
instituting a "Made In America" program on a huge scale where for
example chip manufacturing was brought back to the USA.

Dump some of the social program pork in his various trillion dollar
bills and work the America first angle.
He would be a hero.

And most people would gladly pay a little more to have goods
manufactured here in the USA rather than being at the mercy of
foreign actors.

IMHO Biden could turn his disastrous presidency around with one
major speech promoting America first, manufacturing brought back to
America and leaving China etc.

Incentives to corporations to return to USA and stiff penalties for
those who set up shop for tax reasons in places like Ireland.
No trickle down bullshit either because that is just a scam to enrich
the already rich.

We need to stop being held hostage to other countries.
One day it's chips for everything from cars to microwaves and the
next day it's toilet paper.
It has to stop.

This would be my advice to Biden.

It's more than a little more.

https://www.newbalance.com/pd/877v1/MW877V1-6561.html

I just bought a pair of 877's. I had to ask myself if made in the USA
sneakers were worth twice what assembled in the USA goes for. Drop
another $20 and they aren't even assembled in the US.

It's nothing new. Back in '88 I stopped at an auto parts store to get a
bottle jack for the F150 when I realized the OEM jack didn't cut it. I
was bitching about the made in China jack when the guy said he had a
made in USA jack. It was 4 times as much and wouldn't get the pickup any
higher. I'm still using the Chinese jack.

Even further back I was raised to not buy Japanese products since my
brother had been an Marine aviator in the Pacific. It wasn't long before
you bought Japanese or you didn't buy. When my brother came to visit in
the '90s he was towing a Toyota behind the RV. 'Never thought I would do
it...'

[pothead]

Competing price wise under the current conditions will yield what you
have stated. However when in country competition is restored, prices
will adjust accordingly.

I had a friend who ran a mom and pop auto parts store. He was kind of
like a private NAPA store catering to dealers, professional
mechanics and so forth.
Much unlike Autozone which sells mostly junk to shade tree weekenders.

He eventually sold the store to a chain, Advanced Auto, because he
got tired of hearing clients complaining about prices. They just
didn't realize there is a difference in quality between brands and
mostly China knock off crap.

And it flowed downhill back to the mechanics who were trying to do
the right thing for their customers but had a difficult time
explaining why a Raybestos rotor was better than a China knock off.

I do think we need to become independent and leave China far behind.
It's the only way to survive.

When the big one hits and China controls chips etc we are screwed.

Apparently, they make most of our vaccines and medicines, even! We
are *that* dependant upon them.

People are whining right-now about the availability of Christmas
presents for their kids, this year. You ain't seen nothin', yet,
folks!

Well there's only so much that he can do. I think that tariffs are
the only thing that we can do.

I'm not a "tariff" sort of guy. I'm for free markets. But this is
different. Those communist fsckers are waging an economic war against
us. We can either pay the cost of fighting them, via tariffs and the
subsequent increase in prices that they cause, or we can "let the good
times roll" until they are so much stronger than us that they can do
*whatever* they want in Asia.

JIT has spread well beyond automakers; its pretty much everywhere
and has been so for over a decade.

Offshoring started in the PC industry under Ronald Regan, because of
his tax incentives. It takes years & years to build up capabilities like a
chip foundry (& talent to run them), so it will take just as long to bring
them back...assuming that we're willing to pay.

Less esoteric stuff can often slide around chasing the cheapest labor;
textiles (clothing) commonly does this ... there will be a ~5 year period
where its all made in Malaysia .. then it moves to Vietnam .. then off to
the next country, etc.

Where was Trump successful in bringing back any manufacturing? Even
the steel plant stuff wasn't even up to weak sauce: that segment had a
few plants open but more places had layoffs/closures:

Enterprise isn't going to do that without them having a financial incentive.
Tariffs don't cut it, so what's your plan?

What one person complains as pork, another sees as a necessity for
being an enabler to employers to get workers. Case in point, the US
lags far behind its counterparts in the aid it gives to families for child
care, which limits families from being able to afford to have both parents
enter the workforce (or more accurately, changes the equation such that
the only time it pays for both to work is when both jobs are superior pay):

There's no "Buy American" filter on Amazon.com that one can use, and
even if there was, most Americans like the idea but won't open their
wallet all that much to support it.

Case in point, 63% say that they're not willing to pay more than 5% extra:

(and only 16% are willing to pay more than +10%)

That's already being advanced by Biden with the 15% Global minimum corporate tax:

<https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/business/oecd-global-minimum-tax.html>

Of course, we will have to do something about shutting down South Dakota's tax scamming:

[rbowman]

iirc in the original scheme of things the government was going to
finance itself largely through tariffs, which also served to protect the
fledgling US industry.

Then the Democrats decided milking the herd directly was better.
Lincoln's revenue act was repealed about 15 years later but the 16th
Amendment is forever.

Free markets are a unicorn. The argument against tariffs was their use
to favor some industries over the others, but that's the prime function
of government anyway.

I think the point is far from just to get Michael Glasser AKA Snit to listen
to him. The point is likely to piss Michael Glasser AKA Snit off for flooding
outside groups he knows I frequent. Sadly this is what results when really
negative self confidence takes over Just Wondering's mind. Just Wondering
is commonly seen insisting "GOOGLE HAS NOTHING" when it comes to text on
the web where it does exist... but Just Wondering is just too thickheaded
and distracted to recognize any advice he reads. Is Michael Glasser AKA
Snit envious about Just Wondering having three zipped doxing files warning
people about what he is, vs the single one he earned? I don't agree with
that. Lack of education is lack of education and there are all kinds of
people who are of one mind with it. Many are even doctors.
