BIDEN ACTS, PORTS GET WORSE: Issues & Insights has a carefully nice and diplomatic way of putting things, such as this succinct but restrained take on His Fraudulency’s “actions” to speed up the supply chain:

“Setting up task forces and convening a bunch of ‘world leaders’ to flap their gums about the need to work together might count as action to a guy who’s been a politician for 48 years, but it isn’t going to change the situation in Los Angeles.

“The truth is that Biden doesn’t seem to have any idea how to deal with this problem, other than blaming the private sector, most likely because his own policies are at least partly responsible.

“Critics of the $1.9 trillion partisan ‘rescue plan’ Biden signed in March said that it contained too many disincentives for workers to rejoin the labor market. Lo and behold, there are chronic shortages of workers, particularly truckers, which is contributing to supply chain problems across the country. Biden’s vaccine mandate will only make worker shortages worse.”

I think I need to have a little chat with the I&I editors about not being so diplomatic!
