Every word that comes out of Mayor Pete's mouth is calculated. The reason we have a formula shortage right now is largely because DOT under his command, has failed utterly to decongest the ports.
I don’t understand that to be the case. The shortage is due to a bacterial contamination at a major plant that produces formula, and as the market for formula is dominated by only a few companies, there was no one to pick up the slack. And imports could not make up for the difference due to existing tariffs (the United States prefers to torture its own cows for milk; only a few percent of its milk is gotten from cows tortured in other countries).
Pete Buttigieg is nevertheless a turd. On the issue of Chik Fil-A’s opposition to same-sex marriage, his comment was, “I do not approve of their politics, but I kind of approve of their chicken,” and he offered himself as someone who might broker a “peace deal” between the Christian fast food corporation and the rainbow community.
I suppose there is an outside chance that he could become the President of the United States, though I think his unfortunate last name is a political detriment. But what do I know? This country elected an imbecile reality TV star, so maybe having a last name the first half of which is cognate with “booty” is an advantage. He could play that Beyoncé song on the campaign trail and promise people America is going to get its groove back and party again. Gay men tend to like to dance, and that’s something the straights think is adorable about gay men. It’s a stereotype that infuses the cultural waters.
