Shortages

The land of "milk and honey" is going sour. Thanks to the "no clue" administration we are even short on toilet paper. It is a sad experience to go to a supermarket in these days where empty shelves are in abundance and merchandise is scarce. This is like wartime supply shortage.

As it turns out it hits us most in the supermarkets where everyday staples are the basic elements of our lives. But looking around a little more closely, there are shortages in every part of our economy. A basic American staple is the car. Every household have at least one car and in the past automobiles were never in short supply.

Now, there is a serious shortage of new cars. In the old socialist ways, in my country, one was able to purchase a new automobile. But the way it was done they put you on a waiting list for a particular brand (there were not too many) that could stretch to six months and when it arrived you had to accept it no matter what your choice of color was.

Here it looks like it is heading that way. The waiting list for certain cars is as long as six months. This is unbelievable. What causes this shortage? Are all new cars floating on those ships off shore waiting to be unloaded? Together with our toiletpapers?

It seems that we are totally dependent on foreign produced items. Nothing seems like being manufactured domestically. It is a crying shame that we got this far!

We have a president who is totally clueless about the goings on in this country. Price of gasoline is going through the roof. Why, if we are not depending on foreign oil? The "mighty" dollar is worth less and less and he is just smiling and trying to tell us how well we are doing. But when he is asked, he refuses to answer.

His second in command is not any better. She just laughs her way through every appearance. Now we have a farter, and a laughing hyena at the helm. No wonder everybody sees America as a joke.

  1. I offered to Peter to ship cars from here, where the showrooms are full and plenty available.
    Your president, like our PM, is a joke. Putin and Xi are not. What is going to happen? Any idea?
