White House 'Cannot find its buttocks with both hands Guarantee' Christmas Packages Will Arrive on Time
[BREITBART] The White House admitted Wednesday they were unable to guarantee packages would arrive on time this Christmas.
"We are not the postal service, or UPS, or FedEx," White House press secretary Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job...
said. "We cannot guarantee. What we can do is use every lever at the federal government’s disposal to reduce delays."

Psaki repeatedly posited that the government would work to solve supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded.

#1 the government would work to solve supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded.

..except in Florida.

Last week, the Florida Ports Council put out a press release telling shippers that the state’s ports are open, staffed, and ready for business. “Florida is where your success comes in, and our seaports are the solution to ensure the cargo shipping logjam doesn’t become the grinch that stole Christmas,” said Florida Ports Council President and CEO Michael Rubin. He added, “With inflation growing, shipping and manufacturing industries can save time and money by calling on Florida ports. Why pay to moor off the coast of California, when Florida shipping lanes are open and serving as the gateway for getting goods to America’s market?”

#2 'Cannot find its buttocks with both hands' is ironic considering Butt-gig is the Transportation Secretary. Just sayin...

#4 She is such a sad wench. Sleeping at night (without meds) must be very difficult.

#5 Remember - California passed AB 5, which eliminated owner-operators truckers.

You may unload in CA, but its just another delay finding a trucker to haul it from port.

#7 We are not the postal service
ummmmm....

Any rate, it is the red tape and regulations, which government is.

Perhaps, dear readers, you have noticed that during an emergency, such as a gasoline pipeline shutting down, the quickest and most effective move is suspending trucking regulations.

#8 You may unload in CA, but its just another delay finding a trucker to haul it from port.

How bad is it?

Shipping China to USA is heading to the East Coast.

Oh, and legislation being introduced to ban cargo ships for 180 days.

So Gov is far from trying to solve this, they are actively making it worse.

#9 You know you could have avoided a lot of this by manufacturing in the US. Just saying.
