Washington Post: Americans Should ‘Try to Lower Expectations,’ Accept Biden’s Supply Chain Crisis

Katherine Hamilton 19 Oct 2021

In what seems like an attempt to distance President Joe Biden from the supply chain crisis ravaging the country and the globe, the Washington Post — which is owned by Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world — published an op-ed on Monday telling American consumers to “try to lower expectations” moving forward.

“Rather than living constantly on the verge of throwing a fit, and risking taking it out on overwhelmed servers, struggling shop owners or late-arriving delivery people, we’d do ourselves a favor by consciously lowering expectations,” Micheline Maynard wrote for the Post.

C'mon Man! America, embrace mediocrity. The WP can embrace it all they want, not me and not any Americans I know. I refuse to accept the united states of venezuela!

When will Biden give his malaise speech popularized by Carter?

Interesting. In just eight ten months, we have gone from a land of plenty (even if toilet paper got scarce) to having Soviet style shelves in the stores.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I feel sorry for Jimmah "The Peanut" Carter being compared to Biden.  It really isn't fair to compare the brain dead imbecile who currently occupies the whitehouse to Jimmy.  Carter had his faults but the guy was never a mean spirited vindictive ass hole.

Wow.  Talk about regurgitating the Carter Administration.  Shades of the "Crisis of Confidence" speech, telling us to turn down our thermostats, and turn down our expectations.

Sounds like something Goebbels would have said to the German people in 1944.

But it would have worked if we had just had the right people running it.

One of the things not being discussed is that these products sitting on these ships are prepaid so a substantial amount of capital is sitting on those ships.
Xmas sales generate a large percentage of annual revenue for retailers so we may see a lot of business cease operations if this does not get fixed soon.

Then, obviously, these are not the right people.

As for lowered expectations, this is a WaPo article, so...

The rats are ruling like they don’t expect to be held accountable at the polls.

I wonder why that is.

I said after Biden was elected the press are going to get more absurd in their defense of him. This is an attempt to guilt the public into being grateful. It'll fail, of course. But expect this theme ramp up in the coming years. It's already beginning. This article, the "high class problems" remake, Psaki's treadmill comment........
