Critics slammed the Biden administration for not doing enough to address the matter.
Pete Buttigieg was completely unqualified to serve as Secretary of Transportation. But Biden still picked him.
Now, Pete is absent during a transportation crisis that is hurting working-class Americans.

The supply chain disruption is a crisis. This will impact every American, especially those who can least afford it.
It's past time for President Biden and Pete Buttigieg to explain what they're doing about this.

I know you probably thought being Secy of Transportation would be a pretty sleepy gig. But we've got a supply chain crisis, overwhelmed ports, a trucker shortage, airline workers walking out over the vax mandate, & sky-high gas prices.
Thoughts?

Haven’t seen a single tweet from Mayor Pete here about the supply chain disruptions, port chaos, trucker shortage — he’s completely MIA. Clown.

Labor shortages and the supply chain jam are hitting the country hard and those least able to afford the higher costs for goods will be harmed the most.
The problems in the economy are exacerbated by poor leadership from President Biden and a Democrat run Congress that have no concept or practical experience in businesses – small or large.
