Why are there are more jobs than people to take them? Why there's not enough workers to move product & supply chain problems? Why people are just quitting/retiring?

As an Investment Advisor, I know this 1st hand. The problem is Obamacare.

Remember Nancy Pelosi bragging about "job lock." Well, she was right. People don't have to stay in their job until 65 anymore.

Subsidies are so generous that even people w/ sizable retirement plans can get fully subsidized coverage, then wait for Medicare to kick in at 65.
I'm literally doing ACA planning for people in their early 60s who don't want to go back to the office, face a vaccine mandate or have just had it & want to get something out of the system. With massively enhanced tax credits, we manage their income (MAGI) to get free insurance.
This is not a flaw of Obamacare, but a feature. Nancy Pelosi bragged it being a "goal."

Well, here we are, Madam Speaker. This mess is on your hands. Image
And everyone knew it, even The NY Times. ACA was predicted to cost 2 million workers.

A little Oil Production History
January 2021: Biden EO halts oil production leases on Federal lands.
June: Court orders injunction overriding Biden's EO.
August: Biden Admin files appeal of court's injunction, citing Greenhouse Gases.
Oil production is being held up by the Dept. of Interior, not the Dept. of Energy. Media, you have to ask the right questions of the right person. This is all on Interior Secretary Haaland, not Energy Secretary Granholm.
The result of Interior's stalling is states like Wyoming are now producing the same amount of oil as it did last April, the shutdown month where demand was stopped cold, & 1.7m fewer barrels/day as the pre-Covid peak March 2020.
As a nation, we're producing 2m fewer barrels/day. Image

Let's talk Debt Ceiling:

Congress can only use Budget Rec once per fiscal year. The 2022 fiscal year began 10/1. If they use Budget Rec to raise the Debt Ceiling w/out attaching their massive 2 legged spending spree, their spending will have to wait until 10/1/22 (FY 2023).
The Dems do have the power to raise the Debt Ceiling now w/their current numbers, but don't want to waste the opportunity to attach their spending agenda.

So they'll wait to create a crisis & try to force Sinema & Manchin to join their spending spree to avoid shutdown.
Mitch McConnell, by not participating in the Debt Ceiling vote, is forcing the Dem's hand. That's pretty savvy.

The politics right now is to blame the GOP. But the reality is the left is trying to pressure Sinema & Manchin to choice between shut down & spending spree.

Today there was a published leak of a slideshow about Delta. Here’s one of the slides indicating how dangerous Delta is.
That Scotland study was published in the Lancet. Notice the 6/14 date of publication.
The Biden Admin knew this, yet took a “Mission Accomplished” victory lap and announced “independence from the virus” 8 days later.

Just imagine if Trump did this?

A quick Delta Variant Timeline
- It was 1st identified in India in Dec 2020
- It was the cause of India's Feb "2nd wave"
- It was 1st detected in US in Feb/March 2021
- 20 countries banned travel from India in April
- US banned travel from India in May
- 6/22 Biden Admin declares "independence from the virus." Some refer to this as Biden's "Mission Accomplished" moment.
- On that very day the 7-day moving average case count bottomed out at around 12,000. Within a month that number quadrupled.

7/16: Biden misdirects the public & blames FB for “killing people.” Further blames the “Dirty Dozen” for vaccine misinformation.

We’ve all heard about the Dirty Dozen responsible for 65% of the anti-vax content being spread via FB and "killing people."

The Biden Admin got their information from a Spring study that took place over 6 weeks in the Spring. Who are these people?

1. Dr. Joseph Mercola
This guy is clearly an anti-vaxxer. Among other things, his crimes include writing an article that was reposted to anti-vax FB groups. I’m just spitballin’ here but if you’re part of an anti-vax FB group, you’re probably an anti-vaxxer already.
He also has some decent content on his twitter feed & a has strong BS sensor. Here he calls out Biden for trying to scare people to get vaccinated bc there’s “speculation” the variants can be spread to our pets.
