Pete Buttplug Reassures Everyone Supply Chain Disruption Will Continue – And That’s a ‘Good’ Thing

Secretary of Non-Transportation Pete Buttigieg is set to go on Eternity Leave while the nation grapples with major supply-chain disruption. But before setting off to cuddle with a baby that he had nothing to do with creating with his same-sex partner, he left us with some consoling words of wisdom about the massive mess he is leaving us. It’s actually a good thing. No, seriously.

Buttigieg aka Mayor Pete appeared with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of Confusion and disclosed his strategy for handling the supply chain crisis. Do nothing.



“Certainly, a lot of the challenges that we have been experiencing this year will continue into next year,” Buttigieg said. “But there are both short-term and long-term steps that we can take to do something about it. Part of what’s happening isn’t just the supply side, it’s the demand side. Demand is off the charts. Retail sales are through the roof. If you think about those images of ships, for example, waiting at anchor on the west coast, every one of those ships is full of record amounts of goods that Americans are buying, because demand is up, because income is up, because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.”

“Now the issue is, even though our ports are handling more than they ever have, record amounts of goods coming through, our supply chains can’t keep up,” he claimed. “Of course, our supply chains – that’s a complicated system that is mostly in private hands and rightly so. Our role is to be an honest broker, bring together all of the players, secure commitments and get solutions that will make it easier.”

This is the laziest gaslighting in the history of American politics. Cargo vessels are floating around aimlessly in the Pacific waiting to come into port. Dock workers have gone on silent strike. Truckers are sitting in packed lots waiting to receive goods for transport. Airline pilots, crew and workers have been getting the ‘freedom flu‘ in opposition to Biden’s unlawful, unnecessary, and unannounced federal vaccine mandate that is massively disruptive. And all this empty suit for a cabinet official can say is, ‘this is fine.’
