Most of Wally-World's goods are imported, and shipping as you realize is FUBAR.


Most of the food sold by Walmart is not imported. I would say 80% of it is made in the USA.

Yes, and the shipping problem is both national and international.

I agree prices are going up, but I cannot in clear conscience lay the blame at Biden's feet.

But that is no how it works. Trump took blame for the China virus despite doing everything possible to slow it.

Biden needs to take the logistics crisis seriously.

Got it.

memo to Biden:

"Don your red vestments, put on your fake beard, get on your sleigh and deliver all the overdue goods to we "entitled" Americans.

Please add "Pick your Secretary of Transportation based on qualification not on the fact that he goes with other guys."

I think it was a smart move appointing him to that position; if he does well then it will show he's got ability (unknown at this point), and if he fails his chances of becoming president will be slim to none.

It was wise, politically, as was Harris: got to give the progressives a sop.

And that is the problem with liberals. Everything is political.

Giving a guy a high level job because he is gay makes sense in your world?

I think MrV's explanation of why he got the job is more likely than simply because he's gay. Warren and Sanders are known commodities and I think it's that the fact that he might not run in 2024 is something that Biden considered possible, so you've got to take other people with interest in the job and give them a little spotlight. Sanders and Warren are already Senators...and largely known commodities.
