First, let’s be clear; there’s no-way the Chicago control agents would allow the installed occupant to speak on any issue, publicly, that was not a direct and measurable threat to their long-term goals.
The remarks today by Joe Biden are carefully scripted to diffuse political damage that is pending as a direct outcome of the executed policies.
The risks and remarks are in the following order:
(1) Gas Prices – The JoeBama energy policy is “necessarily” making fuel prices at the pump jump dramatically. The teleprompter is loaded with disinformation to place the blame for higher gas prices upon a pipeline hack, which JoeBama intentionally points out is a private sector issue – that now needs government intervention as part of his infrastructure program. This nuanced shift is clearly part of the Chicago maneuver toward socialist control of all levels of energy development and distribution.
The political risk is obvious. Massive increases at the gas pump will hit the middle class extremely hard. Democrats are to blame for these gas prices and they are worried about the political fallout. Ergo, JoeBama is told to read his script.
(2) Mass Unemployment and Terrible Jobs Numbers – The COVID bailout has created massive incentives for people not to return to work. It is only not a laziness and comfortable dependency issue, it is also an economic decision. Low wage workers can make more sitting at home getting unemployment to combine with their COVID bailout money than they can returning to work.
The political risk is again obvious. As overall policy destroys the middle class in favor of Wall Street, multinational corporations and the investment class, it doesn’t take an economist to see the dependency model creates a disincentive. The Chicago crew is concerned about the backlash from obvious economics. The teleprompter is loaded with obtuse talking points that deflect and deny this reality. Additionally, the teleprompter message to blue states lets them know more money is coming into their coffers; so hold the line.
(3) Unemployment and Dependency policy – As the American electorate see in their daily lives how massive government spending is creating both inflation and a lack of good jobs, the Chicago team need JoeBama to say publicly that people need to go back to work. The optics and narrative are good, but they run counter to the incentives that are contained in the policy. JoeBama knows reality will drive the behavior, not his “must take the jobs” word salad. The words are for sheeple and media to deflect.
(4) Pushing the Vaccine – The vaccination issue is a toxic problem as people start to realize the government is talking out of both sides of its mouth. At the same time the Chicago crew is using every narrative distribution network to push the vaccine, claiming it is safe, OSHA is telling employers that all mandated vaccination side-effects must be recorded as “workplace injuries”.
If the un-tested, non-FDA approved vaccine is safe, then why are employers being held liable for vaccine side-effects? Think about it. This is the actual text of the new question and answer on the OSHA website:
“If I require my employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of their employment, are adverse reactions to the vaccine recordable?
“If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7.” (link)
The downstream consequences of this double-speak are very predictable. Employment lawyers are going to have a field day against employers who force the vaccination; yet the federal government is telling employers to force the vaccination. You can smell the crippling lawsuits cooking from over the horizon.
The bottom line is simple…. The Democrats can see a political backlash coming that is going to overwhelm them. No amount of spin or manipulative talking points will change the outcome of the reality people are feeling. Massive increases in gas prices combined with massive inflation is the exact policy outcome from Jimmy Carter. The Chicago crew is trying to find a way out of the blast zone for what is coming….
