A LOT of them. So frozen stuff would not be able to be delivered, due to the trailer shortage. So there wouldn't be any ice cream in the stores.THAT would be a tragedy.

Biden is destroying the Democrats. He has lost support from the center right with his crazy policy goals and is bleeding support from left with his failure to deliver. (Wages on fossil fuels while simultaneously releasing millions of barrels of oil from the strategic reserve). While Biden is doing a fine job Harris would be even better. “I want you to just take a look. I want you to look into my eyes. I guarantee you; I guarantee you, we are going to end fossil fuel, and I am not going to cooperate with them.” “The scale of this release is unprecedented: the world has never had a release of oil reserves at this 1 million per day rate for this length of time,” the White House said in a release. “This record release will provide a historic amount of supply to serve as bridge until the end of the year when domestic production ramps up.” Edited April 1, 2022 by brenthutch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TriGirl 333 #208 April 1, 2022 5 hours ago, brenthutch said: The VP should be held to a higher standard. Here is Kamala in her own words, "We also recognize just as it has been in the United States, for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic," Harris said. "So to that end, we are announcing today also that we will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health but also the economy." I can follow that. The majority of the former POTUS's ramblings, OTOH, not so much. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was chock full of how disastrous the Biden administration (Harris in particular) has been. Besides her not terribly great ability to speak 'off the cuff', she has taken over the 'border crisis' and seen it increase "exponentially". That's it. No other mention of her work. Comments disabled, and a clear statement at the top that it's just the opinion of the author, not the publisher. And since the only place where the 'border crisis' even exists is in the Alt-Right imagination, it's pretty clear what it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
