Aaaaand, back to the topic....

I consider it great news that Pete is out of the picture, and he should stay on whatever kinda leave you want until 2024 when we get a real President in office.

Right.

It wasn't was a "gay bashing thread" until poster #2 decided to become a SJW, and instigate that is was.

That's even worse then and proves that ole' Pete is doing a terrible job since it's been going for 10 months with ships stacking up since January and nothing has been fixed yet but has only gotten worse. Buttigieg is in the middle of crisis which he is responsible for as Transportation Secretary. He has a major issue to get a grip on but has no idea how to handle it nor had the foresight to see what was going to likely happen. He is in over his head and shouldn't be taking leave at anytime to change diapers until this situation that's threatening to further crush the country's economy is dealt with. Especially this on-going issue surmounting so close to the start of the holidays and the busiest shopping times of the year and everything is sitting in stagnant in shipping containers. He's clearly not cut out for it.

If at your job, there was a major crisis unfolding and has been unfolding for months which you were the head of department, do you think that taking a leave of absence to go hang out at home wouldn't be pertinent to the crisis at hand? If it was at my job, they'd be fired on the spot and replaced ASAP with someone more competent.

This whole "administration" from top to bottom is a complete disaster.

Sorry but that's not reality.

Open the article and look at the first graphic.

It's been around 40 ships since December and actually decreased in april-june....and then got up to around 100.

The huge increase in backlog has been in the past 3 months or so.

This is going to go on until the middle of next year. It started months ago and Biden of course is asleep along with his doofus administration who do nothing at all about the surmounting problems in our economy. They create them, ignore them and their is absolutely no leadership at all.
