US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

I've noticed they are using different wordings to try and sell the same lie. What you pointed out is an example of that. They want people to hear a big number and tune out but if you listen to them they've been careful to say "at the airport" when they're throwing out big numbers, and haven't really commented much on the thousands who never even got the chance to make it to the airport.
The Taliban cut off pretty much all major roads in and out of Kabul. There are thousands of Americans who can't get to the airport because they can't get past the Taliban. These people make up the bulk of Americans still there.
But as long as they can keep saying shit like "we only have 1500 Americans left to evacuate at the airport" what they're actually saying is "1500 Americans made it to the airport and still have to be picked up, please don't ask us about the other 8500~ total American civilians in Afghanistan"

Reality has become a fleeting concept. I remember reading about a German independent journalist who was basically removed from the airport by our spooks the day before the attacks. This thing glows so brightly, it really says a lot about the attention span of the average person these days.

is this because of production issues or transportation issues?

Both.

Both, and it's also hard to get workers. A relative helps manage a chain grocery store and they're constantly struggling to get new shipments in because of the lack of warehouse workers and truck drivers.

Most of these problems could start getting better if the workforce would go back to normal.

All the above, Just in Time Inventory Management systems are the new hotness in Retail so now every little bump fucks the entire system up and down the line.

It doesn't help that Pelosi wants to do another stimulus check. Like when will these people understand that the economy is going to continue going in the toilet if they keep doing this

I uphold that they -can't- 25th him. Kamala is -so much more hated- that'd be going from the frying pan into the fire.

Now, I am in fact a religious man. And while I nominally do not believe in an interventionist god, I would think the one thing that might drive Him to absolute fury is something like saaaay, abandoning 5,000 Christians purely to make less conservative voters exist in your country.

That seems like it might even rise the ire of a god who wishes to leave his Children alone.

I'll contend that even more than abandoning Christians, it's how much they have thrown shit right in the face of God himself.
Christians die all the time, christians are taught from childhood that even Jesus says christians will be persecuted for their belief in him and will be killed and hunted etc.
But this administration isn't just abandoning Christians. It's actively insulting God and driving forces of degeneracy and sin that genuinely threaten to result in millions more souls going to hell. And to make it worse, they have started to involve children in their sick plans. Jesus himself said that people who lead children to sin are so fucked that they'd be better off having a mill stone around their neck and thrown in the sea than to face Gods wrath for perverting innocent children.

Raw materials are in short supply as well. Then once you manage to manufacture a product, you can't find a shipping container to stuff it in. Then once you do get your stuff shipped, it ends up waiting outside a port for a month because they don't have the manpower to unload ships in a timely manner.

Every point in the supply chain is feeling the squeeze.

Why not both?

I'll believe that when I fucking see it. They've been saying that since the third one.

Where did the logistics break-down?

at warehouses it's a lack of workers, workers getting sick, getting shut down because of lack of inventory or lack of sales as retailers didn't want to be stucks with thousands of dollars of shit they couldn't sell during lock down. the warehouses in chicago had people "quit" to collecting unemployment and bennies. I'm guessing chicago doesn't have a "report employee who doesn't come back to work" option? the current problem is that there's no merchandise being brought in to sell which is a problem at the docks.

At the docks and the trucking companies, it's a combo of lack of drivers/longshoremen and some companies had to shut down because there was a lack of work in the early parts of covid. There's a shit ton of ships and containers coming in but not enough workers to unload them and not enough trucks to ship them so they're just sitting there. and with the longshoremen it's the same getting covid, quitting to collect unemployement or some other financial thing.

manufacturing wise, factories in asia are shutting down because delta is ravaging them something fierce. so production starts and stops which throws everything else off because its a fine tuned machine.

For example, Production slows down during chinese new year because all the gooks take a break around then, which means nothing gets shipped, etc So everyone in the chain plans around it.

For domestic places like Johnson and Johnson and unilever, there's no containers to put any of their shit in so that leads to factory to slow downs etc.


So the spiral continues.

E: all i'm saying is that the logistics is worse right now than it was last year. My job won't be getting new shipments of stuff for a while because the distro's warehouse finally ran out of stock and they've no idea when they're getting their shit that's sitting around in cali.

Distract people from Afghanistan. But hey, money is money. Taxpayer money.

I was watching a streamer that loves to roast the perpetually unemployed and he said that all these people do is apply for work.
That is all they NEED to do. Not even interview.
If this is true and there is a check coming expect Biden's approval to go back up.
Average ratchet does not care about Afghanistan.

The stimulus checks have only ever provided a very, very short-term bump in approval. Also, the average person does in fact care about Afghanistan.

Can confirm this much is true. Technically they are supposed to apply to a set number of places and keep a log of that. In some of the blue states it's laughable - NC for example only requires people to fill out 3 applications per week and keep a record of these applications "for review" if there are ever any questions, and even that was suspended until June of this year.
I'm sure Biden would have no problem firing up the money printer to try and buy his way out of this but it's at the point that would be akin to someone dying of hypothermia taking their clothes off when they think they're too hot, it would just slow his realization of how fucked he is.
