@revelette1,
Lemme put it this way. Morale has as much to do with a presidency as actual events.
And when the public supports the president, they tend to be cooperative. When you know friends that worked on the pipeline, then suddenly the project isleft undone, they're out of work for up to four years, and they're grumpy. When you bar work to many jobs without masks or vaccinations, some people will assess whether they can afford not to work at all. And when you put roadblocks to certain careers that people have religious or moral objections to (yes, some people equate masks as evil), some people switch careers. Whether the pipeline is built or not, morale is down and people are uncooperative. There is probably a trucker shortage. Since trucking is the lifeblood of most of our shipment in America, and the train industry suffers from old rails and a president who claimed to want to revive train systems, but hasn't really done anything noticeable here, we expect massive delays.
What we're experiencing is that it's not a simple shortage of goods, but a delay with overshipment. We suddenly get products that are dirt cheap (rice for $0.45 at food lion) because they asked for them multiple times, and finally got a bunch in at once. This is massive disorganization, and a symptom of the supply chain breakdown.
Gas prices on the other hand have nothing to do with shipping breakdown, but feed into the problem. The president is deliberately shortselling gas so that prices stay high, in an effort to force people to switch to electric. The president isn't just incompetent, he's an asshole.
It's not a false claim that he shut it down. And yes, he milks Ukraine/Russia for all it's worth.
As for the drop in the bucket thing, Trump wasn't just doing the pipeline, he also was into fracking (which every liberal criticized as bad, because he was the one who said it), and making oil from shale. Think about it. If we can make our own oil, we don't have to depend on sources anymore. But the left acts like this is a drop in the bucket when it is not known exactly how much oil Alaska has.
All of these are excuses meant to cover up what is blatantly obvious. The average person doesn't know what is causing the inflation of goods, and the skyrocketing gas prices. But they know that they're there, and that they've been creating problems at the pump well before we got involved with Russia and Ukraine. The timeline doesn't fit. They also know that Biden did a number of things that didn't help either. And they listen to this dipshit talk about how wonderful electric cars will be, and read up on the charge time, and say "Mr President, you're trying to screw us over. Aren't you? "
Call it conspiracy all you want. The average person, who never deals in conspiracy at all, is now saying "My clothes, food, and gas are outrageous prices. Biden is the cause of it. And now he blaming Russia." The average pwrson is neither observant nor bright, but even they ask what the hell Russia has to do with the price of goods here. You're quoting the Matrix rabbit hole thing, and acting like regular people (normies) are way more crazy than they are. Personally, I think you're the one who hasn't the common sense God gave everyone else. You can see high gas prices, you can see fruits at $7.99 and such. But you choose to ignore all this.
