This is why technocracy is terrible
Biden mocks Americans’ intelligence: “If we were all going out & having lunch together & I said let’s ask whoever's in the next table, no matter what restaurant we’re in, have them explain the supply chain to us. Do you think they’d understand what we’re talking about?" pic.twitter.com/lHAwLJZBfy

The people in the next booth are probably links in the supply chain and they see what is going on around them on a daily basis.
Biden is a technocrat. The entirety of the Democrat party and a fair number of Republicans are technocrats.
They believe that society is too complicated for the average citizen to understand but they, people who got the right degrees from the right schools and interned at the right think tanks, are smart and knowledgeable enough to manage society and should be in charge.
The Soviet Union employed armies of mathematicians and actuaries to try and plan their economy and they failed and had shortages every year until they totally collapsed.
Liberal technocracy is just a milder version of that.
Biden says the supply chain crisis is too complicated for the average person to explain but he can so they should just listen to him.
But he has failed at fixing it. His Harvard educated, Rhodes scholar, McKinsey credentialed Transportation Secretary has proven to be an incompetent dumbass.
The truck drivers, freight yard operators, dock foremen, and others have far better ideas how to fix out supply chain problems because they are part of the supply chain.
But Biden says they are to unsophisticated to do that because they lack the right credentials.
The Biden Administration (like the Obama Administration before it) is a testimony to why technocracy is a terrible way to run a country.
