Joe Biden thinks Americans are too stupid to understand the “Supply Chain Crisis.”
“If we were all going out and having lunch together and I said let’s ask whoever’s in the next table, no matter what restaurant we’re in, have them explain the supply chain to us. Do you think they’d understand what we’re talking about?”
Actually many of us understand perfectly well that the “supply chain problem” is due to the long hand of COVID-induced mania and the stupid government policies and mandates implemented along the way.
It costs nearly $100 to fill up your gas tank these days and all the Brandon Administration can do is this:
Um, I think that’s OPEC, which is not really very opaque
Send out a Botoxed chipmunk-cheeked Energy Secretary Granholm* to laugh at us as maniacally as the VP-ho-ho-ho. And then carry on a dismissive, even derisive, discourse on how oil prices are determined by a little foreign cartel called OPEC, and there’s not one thing the Brandon Administration (BA) can do about it. (Note: that was Friday, by the Sunday morning shows she totally walked it back, as is the custom of everyone in the BA: speak the truth by mistake then claim you never said what you said and let the MSM fix it for you.)
Seriously though, one would have hoped that our Energy Secretary would know that the U.S. is a major oil producing nation and was once (way back during the Orange-Man-Bad Administration) our primary source of said oil.
But no, the BA is committed to squelching U.S. production further and driving gas and oil prices even higher. So why not back Governor Whitmer’s order to shut down another major oil pipeline from Canada? Last November Whitmer ordered the DNR to revoke the operating easement Michigan granted Enbridge more than 70 years ago to operate the twin pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac (pronounced Mack-i-naw for you non Michiganians). Because the environment…and climate change. Danger! Danger! Danger!
Enbridge has been wrangling with the Michigan DNR and the Governor ever since. And now Michigan’s Indigenous Peoples are asking the Brandon Administration for support in shutting down Line 5, claiming treaty violation.
“We view Line 5 as an existential threat to our treaty-protected rights, resources, and fundamental way of life as Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes.”
Meanwhile, Enbridge is invoking their own treaty rights but since they are not indigenous they aren’t as valid.
While the fake climate controversy surrounding the safety of the line – already years old - rages on it delays the building of a tunnel under the Straits for the pipeline which Enbridge has proposed in order to ensure the line’s integrity. The anti-Line 5 folks would rather have a disaster so they can say “see, I told you so.” It’s essentially a lose-lose, so good job Dems.
Do liberals not remember the pain inflicted when the Colonial Pipeline was closed for just 5 days? Closed gas stations, inflated gas prices, propane shortages…and that was during warm weather.
If the Federal government shuts down another pipeline I guarantee that Americans will understand the “supply chain” problem a whole lot better than any of the ho-ho-hos and idiots in the Brandon Administration.
*Another one of Michigan’s great female Democrat governors. Man, can we pick ‘em or what!?
