In case you haven’t noticed, the Joe Biden Era has ruined a lot of quite-recently very good, very successful things. Which we warned you would happen — before the Biden Era even began.
Biden’s ‘Build Back Never’: His Endless Government Assaults Will Make Building America Impossible
Biden’s deconstruction of America has hit nearly every aspect of human existence. Biden has deconstructed the US supply chains, one of their most damaging. The once seamless, multidirectional and global supply chain for everything that we buy everywhere is now a chasm.

In 2022, Supply Chain Outlook: Low Delivery Rates and Shortages
This supply chain dark cloud – does contain a silver lining. It is possible that the Sleeping Giant has finally woken up to the fact DC has sold US out over the past several decades to the rest the globe.
We don’t make anything anymore. DC has been cutting crony deals with Big Business to export as much domestic productivity as possible, taking with it tens of millions of jobs, tens of trillions in wealth — and a whole lot of national security.
We have spent the overwhelming majority of the Biden Era being very insecure nationally — in no small part because we can’t get the products we need. Which, of course, wouldn’t be a problem if we made most of our products here.
Reverse Globalism: Re-in-Source, Re-Think Everything
We could do it. Proven by the fact that for the very many decades before the DC Sell-Out began — we did.
Our national geography is amazing. We have two very large oceans as buffers from most of the world’s idiocies. Our world is blessed with unlimited supplies of oil, fertile land and almost all the basic necessities that we require to survive.
In our urgent evolution from globalism, it’s the absolute necessities that should be prioritized.
Quite obviously, before we do anything else — we gotta eat.
Supply Chain: We’re Running out of Food – Thanks to Biden
It is imperative that the nation secures a healthy and growing food industry.
And, of course, while we’re eating, we’re all on our phones. Tablets. Also computers. This is the Information Age — which means it is the Digital Age. These devices are the backbone of trillions of dollars worth of economic activity each year. This makes it a matter of national security to ensure that our country has a strong semiconductor chip manufacturing industry.
Oops….
The US Produces Just 12% of the World’s Computer Chip Supply. Here’s Why It’s Trailing China
This makes the US more vulnerable.
Global Chip Shortage will continue into 2022
Speaking of Communist China…:
“‘Asia Has the World’s Chips. The U.S. They Want Them:
“‘The region produces a staggering 80% of outsourced semi-conductor manufacturing worldwide. Taiwan’s TSMC alone produces 50% of the planet’s semi-conductors: every electronic device you can think of uses them.”
‘Did someone say China and Taiwan?
“‘China’s Quest to Take Taiwan:
“‘If Taiwan became embroiled in a protracted military engagement with China, global supply-chain turmoil would ensue.”
“You mean EVEN MORE ‘global supply-chain turmoil would ensue.’
“At which point we’ll be WAY behind Communist China.”
And speaking of Asia — we have yet another chip manufacturing warp in the global supply chain continuum.

All of the above further highlights the titanic unintelligence of the US only making 12 percent of the planet’s semiconductor chips.
DC began making moves to begin to remedy this….
Bipartisan bill to support American Semiconductor Production and Supply Chains
Except DC is doing what DC does — pollute a good, simple bill with many irrelevant and very bad ideas….
House approves bill that will invest Billions to boost chip production and supply chain infrastructure
“Republicans have widely criticized the bill as being too weak on China and having too many superfluous provisions aimed at conservation and clean energy incentives….
“Representative Kevin McCarthy, a Republican of California and the minority leader, denounced the bill in no uncertain terms.…
“‘It wastes billions of dollars on unrelated matters and includes no measures to make China pay for the chaos they created.’…”
Which means the befouled House bill is now light-years removed from the Senate bill, the latter having largely kept to, you know, the point of the bill — bolstering domestic chip manufacture and dealing at least a little with Communist China:
“The bill’s Senate counterpart, the U.S. The Innovation and Competition Act of 2030 has been passed with support from 19 Republican Senators. Congress now needs to come up with a compromise bill for Biden. However, deep ideological differences between the two chambers threaten to tie up negotiations….”
We need the Senate’s bipartisan bill to be Congress’ bill. Because it actually (mostly) deals with the actual problems at hand: Lack of domestic chip manufacturing — and Communist China. It is also (mostly), free from the extraneous junk that poisons House bill.
Shocker: The Democrats’ insane, ideological Leftism is yet again murdering what was once a pretty good idea…and could have been a helpful piece of legislation.
Our nation continues to starve and hollow out while bleed to communist China.
These attempts to improve are hampered by other factors.
