What Were They THINKING???

 

Friends, it was just months ago that tens of millions of Americans -- most of them women, to their eternal shame -- streamed to the polls (or licked a stamp) to cast a vote for Joe Biden, savior of America's "soul", the one man who could drive a stake through the heart of Trump-ula (that's Trump + Dracula, in case my witticism eludes you)...  Now, quite a few of these Biden voters feel duped.  They feel a keen sense of regret.  Zogby Analytics is measuring this regret, and the results are quite stunning.  Bidenists across the board are getting ancy, but men, urban residents, people of color, and young people are among those most likely to experience buyer's remorse when it comes to Sleepy Joe.  It bears repeating that the last election was decided by the slimmest of margins, in terms of control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.  Ergo, the political migration of even a million voters, let alone the tens of millions implicated in this poll, is potentially catastrophic for the Democrats.  Food for thought!

Here's an interesting piece about the persistence of chip shortages that are making it impossible for the public's demand for new cars to be met.  COVID is at the root of a lot of our supply chain problems, but it's not all about China.  Many key ingredients in the global supply chain come from elsewhere in Asia, and some of these countries are getting hit by the dreaded virus now more than ever.  This, I suppose, is but one of the downsides of a globalized, interconnected, interdependent world: when things go south in Manila, or Kuala Lumpur, or Taipei, we feel it here too.  The solution, as always, is to drive a 1993 Cadillac Sedan de Ville.  I guess there's a chip in there somewhere, but it's probably just a moldy old potato chip.  Problem solved!

One of the principal signs that we've got Biden on the run, politically speaking, is that he'll start to reconsider some of his most boneheaded policies, like our open border with Mexico.  It looks like his administration is now tinkering with the idea of resuming Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy for asylum seekers.  Personally, I think my approach to illegal migration, which is trebuchet-based, would work better, but we'll take what we can get!

Is China getting pushier with Taiwan, partially in reaction to perceived U.S. weakness in the wake of our exit from Afghanistan?  This bears watching.

Finally, it looks like a lot of Americans will be celebrating Labor Day by...getting off their duffs and working for a living!  Those enhanced unemployment benefits that have paid millions to twiddle their thumbs are finally expiring.  Expect much better service at your favorite diner!
