goods but they couldn t off load them. there was no place to do it. the containers sat there. thanks to the biden administration s vaccine mandates, there weren t enough truckers to pick up the cargo and take it anywhere. so all of that combined to create the worst shipping bottle neck in memory and lasted for months. the price of transporting goods rose by 600%. so if you re wondering why inflation started to go up, that s a big part of the reason. none of this happened by accident. the bottle neck was a manmade disaster. it could have been, should have been fixed by the people in charge of transportation. they re called the department of transportation. but for much of the time, this disaster was unfolding, joe biden s secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg from south bend, indiana, was disengaged. he wasn t on the job. he was at home. i was on paid paternity leave posing for selfies for social media. buttigieg didn t seem embarrassed at all by this. this is w ....

He tweets and retweets their offensive, hateful, mean spirited rhetoric. Some of those are irredeemable. There are the others that feel the government has let them down. The economy has left them down. Nobody cares about them. Nobody worries about what happens to that you are lives and futures and they are just desperate for change. They dont buy everything he says but he seems to hold out some hope that theyre lives will be different. That they wont wake up and see their jobs disappear. Lose a kid to heroin, feel like theyre in a dead end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well. Clinton is now apologizing for part of what she said last night.
