Biden vax mandates now a threat to national defense
@man_integrated @Halsrethink @mirandadevine

A certain major defense contractor has finally worked through all the legal implications of the executive order mandating the COVID vaccine.

This is what they’ve concluded…
if they don’t have 100% compliance by December 8th, they are at a serious risk of losing all current and future federal contracts if they are not, and also expecting for the company to not only be compliant to but force their tier 2 and 3 subcontractors to be compliant as well.
So a tier three subcontractor who only gets 10 percent of its revenue from a prime two levels up is expected to comply.

Defense officials and contractors are in total panic. There are experienced experts who are couple of years out from retirement who are going to retire rather
than get the mandated vaccine who are literally critical paths for defense subcontracts.

This is very bad and a major risk to national defense. Its so bad that I don’t see how the last vestige of defense (good paying manufacturing) could possibly recover.
They are estimating now that between 20-25% of new contracts they will unable to bid on and complete due to the drop in expertise and workers. This is a major defense contractor, not some minor factory. The DoD is going to have to push back on Biden and Sullivan privately.
For the record, defense contractor executives are unwilling to comply with Biden's vaccine mandate, setting up a major political problem for him. These executives know the implications of complying and the risks to US national defense.

Democratic Party civil war upends Biden’s Build Back Better timetable

Losing political capital has consequences. The inability to pass legislation is the biggest consequence of all in the Beltway.

The moment that the Afghanistan decision was falling apart in real-time under
the global media’s scrutiny, that was the end of Joe Biden’s political capital. We noted in April that the Reconciliation bill would have trouble passing and the desperate attempt of Democrats to tie the Budget and Infrastructure bills to it should have waved red flags to
analysts against its passage. Creating political vacuums does not only cause conflict in geopolitics, but also domestic politics, which is precisely what has materialized between the progressives lead by Jayapal and the old guard represented by Pelosi.

- 3 bills are in question, Infrastructure(passed by Senate), Reconciliation($3.5 trillion package), and Budget
- Reconciliation bill is where the Dems have loaded up social issues(voting, Immigration, etc) to appease their base, which requires 60 votes under the rules.
- Progressives in the House number 95 votes and have said they will not vote for infrastructure if this doesn’t pass, tying virtually all 3 together
- Senate Parliamentarian upheld the limits of that reconciliation process so Dems could not use 51 majority rule to pass it where
Manchin and Sinema(in reality 4 others also) were roadblocks to avoid filibuster
- To get around this, Dems are attempting to combine Budget and Reconciliation to force the GOP and moderate Dems to vote on it using blackmail/pressure from market turbulence

Being a superpower has its responsibilities but first and foremost it is it’s own long term self interest.

I’m not going to bother reiterating why the US was in Afghanistan but rather focus on why we should have maintained a force there.

The US under previous administrations
had lost significant influence and any real footprint in Central Asia. After being booted out of Uzbekistan, the reality in keeping forces in Afghanistan became much more evident if the Pentagons long term lily pad strategy was to be properly implemented across the region. Since
Obama had destroyed US influence in Turkey, that option to stress Iran’s defenses for any possible future conflict was logically now going to fall onto Afghanistan forward operating positions rather Turkey where we likely would get no permission from Ankara.

Taper Tantrum Notes of mine for this:

⁃Taper assumptions are based on the Fed rhetoric and public comments, but that is more about market signals and paying lip service to the bond market for the near term.

@Halsrethink @nglinsman
⁃The likelihood of tapering is low based on multiple political and economic realities. First, we have midterms in 2022 and Yellen nor Powell can ill afford a market crash that close to midterms. Secondly, in the near term, we have a fiscal problem brewing where the GOP is
totally unwilling to give the Dems a free pass and raise the debt ceiling. Because of this Yellen and Powell have prepared $3 trillion in new QE to unleash after this Jackson Hole taper tantrum head fake plays out.
