Ex-Walmart CEO: How Biden supply chain is a ‘mess from start to finish’

Former Walmart president and CEO Bill Simon ripped the supply chain under President Joe Biden on Friday, calling it a "mess from start to finish."


"I've never seen it like this, and I don't really think anybody living in this country has," Simon told FOX Business’ Dagen McDowell. "I mean, this is really unprecedented."

Simon joined "Mornings with Maria" to react to Americans’ widespread criticism of Biden’s response to shipping challenges and rising consumer prices. The hashtag #EmptyShelvesJoe held its own as a top trend on Twitter Thursday evening.

"There's a shortage of labor in our distribution system and there's a shortage of people to put [items] on the shelf," Simon explained.

BIDEN RESPONDS TO SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS, URGES PRIVATE SECTOR TO ‘STEP UP’

He suggested that Biden’s first step to overcoming supply chain disruptions is to address the ongoing worker shortage.

"I don't think this gets solved until we alleviate the labor shortage that's out there and get people driving trucks and unloading at the docks and stocking shelves," Simon said.

With shipping and inventory backlogs expected to carry into the holiday season, Simon believes giant retail stores will survive while small businesses could struggle to keep shelves stocked.


"Smaller retailers just can’t get the product," he said. "They're just going to be left with nothing. It's going to be difficult for them."

House Republicans penned a letter to the Biden administration Thursday asking to evaluate solutions for the "ongoing supply chain crisis," noting disruptions would continue into 2022.

Simon said he expects the current administration to pump more money into the economy.

"The funding isn't stopping from the government," Simon said. "We just saw the largest Social Security increase in 30 years... There's still this funnel of funds coming through," which builds more consumer demand.

And until that ends, Simon believes the U.S. will continue to face a labor shortage and, consequently, supply chain issues.

"They're making the well-thought calculus that it's better for them to stay out of the [job] market right now than it is to get in," he said.

No surprise here, just like FDR and the Famous NRA legislation SCOTUS had to step in and stop, Biden and the democrats are going after small business, it is despicable.

No surprise there, appearing on Fox it had to be Biden’s fault, interesting how in none of that tirade the reality of a pandemic came up

All last summer we heard those on the right say people aren’t going back to work cause Biden extended the unemployment benefits, and low and behold, when the benefits did expire, the labor shortage continued
 
The Revolution stood up White House Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force on June 8.

Let that sink in for a spell.
 
You know that you are in trouble when there must be at least a few hundred people more qualified for a critical job, who dont get hired.

That's how America rolls now.

We have been betrayed....this is criminal....please wake the fuck up.
 
I saw a report that California made it illegal for any semi tractor over three years old to do work at any port in the state....if so that has to be part of the problem.

why? and what does it have to do with biden? how long ago did it go into affect? it is probably about as cheap to keep new trucks with less maintenance, dumbass. why are you so stupid?
 
That stopped a long time ago.

People have found other jobs.

Plus, a lot of you rwnj types who tend to do blue collar jobs like driving trucks, have dropped dead from COVID because they were too fucking stupid to get vaccinated.

All because they'd rather risk death than cooperate with Biden.

Such is the level of stupid on the right.

thats bullshit because the payments have not stopped

Federal Regulations, specifically 49 CFR section 391.11, currently require drivers to be at least 21 years old to drive in interstate commerce

Why cant Brain Dead Biden suspend this? we need more truckers ASAP
 
Biden has ZERO idea on how to run a economy. Biden has never had a real job he has always sucked off the government tit. His family business is selling political influence.
