Supply chain issues are mounting, exacerbated by numerous policy choices going back years, but that’s too much detail. You can’t be expected to understand that. Besides, The Net-Zero Intelligence Left has chosen to blame climate change.
Salon wants you to understand the answer to a crucial question but it’s not the one you think. Here’s the answer.
The product shortages are caused by the fact that most of our goods are transported across long distances to be used for manufacturing, sold or otherwise utilized. Imagine a giant spiderweb stretching all across the planet. Like a baseball smashing through each strand, unexpected problems can destroy key routes that allow our supply chains to operate.
That is why climate change in particular is expected to lead to many more product shortages. Dr. Thomas Goldsby, a professor of supply chain management at the University of Tennessee — Knoxville’s Haslam College of Business, tells Salon that volatile and unpredictable weather patterns will fundamentally change our economy.
The rest of the piece is rehashed AGW talking points, and that’s important because of the question (emphasis, mine).
As the economy continues to falter, the name of the game is product shortages. Supply chain disruptions have left grocery store shelves bare, forced gamers to suffer console and headset shortages and led to microchip shortages across the electronics industry. Higher prices for consumer goods are partly a result of such shortages. Now that Republicans are drawing attention to a baby food shortage, the question seems to have been politicized: Should the supply chain issues be blamed on the party which holds power?
Should the Supply chain issues be blamed on the party in power?
Nowhere after that point does Salon state the obvious (for Salon). Yes, if it’s republicans. If Republicans were in power, it would be entirely their fault, so everything that follows that question is a lie.
Your expert commentary and the spun-up or fake states from the climate echo chamber are all BS. If Republicans were in power, shortages would be their fault. High gas prices, Vlad, Ukraine, everything would be placed at the feet of “the party in power.
But Democrats are in power, and Global Supply Chain and Global Warming both have global in them. “Winner!”
It is then a simple leap to connect them and impress upon people that both are real and that Democrats can’t help it. But the truth is quite different. The Democrats invented global warming as an excuse to take over the economy. And this is what happens to an economy when they do.
It’s not the first time Democrat Socialists have wrecked an economy, but it might be the last unless we blame the party in power.
So, let’s make sure we do that because they earned it.
