Buttigieg schools Chuck Todd: Private sector made supply chain fiasco. Biden not waiting on market.

[egbertowillies]

In his folksy manner, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg schooled Chuck Todd by putting supply chain discourse in the proper context.

1. Bravo, Mr. Willies.

This is as good a breakdown of a current topic as I've ever seen. Egberto is right on target.

5. Would this be a good time to revive the CCC?

And expand it?

It just occurred to me that maybe a government program like the CCC, which focused on conservation and improving parks might be adapted to enlisting people who want to work in the jobs we need filled now for a decent wage, benefits, and a chance to get training for a better future might be a possibility.

I have seen reports lately that National Guard and other military entities are being used to help in hospitals, so I'm thinking of public service.

It is possible the media is exaggerating the number of vacancies, but who knows? In case they aren't, get your ideas out there. Maybe something will work

**I was thinking about this idea. It would be another government subsidy, to underwrite the corps, but take it away from the corporate welfare we hear about. If the government is going to underwrite, let it be people, not companies.

6. Pete usually eats FAUX news interviewers for breakfast. So Chuck Todd is rather easy to debunk with

7. It's worth it........

To read Egberto's book "It's Worth it, How To Talk To Your Right-Wing......." I have, well worth reading. IMHO

8. I love it when someone calmly explains things using logic

It's nice to hear reasonable explanations that focus on market forces and basic economics, as opposed to having everything explained in terms of conspiracies and plots to take away Christmas and your freedoms, as is done by many on the right.
