In a statement, the White House said Biden will use the Defense Production Act to improve the domestic manufacturing of medicines deemed crucial for national security and will convene the first meeting of the president’s supply chain resilience council to announce other measures tied to the production and shipment of goods.
…
The Defense Production Act of 1950, which was passed to streamline production during the Korean war, was last used in early 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic to accelerate and expand the availability of ventilators and personal protective equipment.
Will be inevitably blocked by Republicans causing the usual response from Democrats:
Biden is literally trying something and you act like Dems do nothing. Fuck off and just vote Republican like you were already planning. Remember to bring the lube so they don’t fuck you dry.
See all the other things blocked by Republicans. How’s that student debt relief going?
Wut? Go be wrong somewhere else.
Super simple, Biden tries to do the right thing, blocked by Republicans, fights over. Nothing happens.

You: Super simple, Biden tries to do the right thing, blocked by Republicans, fights over. Nothing happens.
Would you like to be demonstrably wrong about anything else?
Tell you what, how about you tell me when my wife has her student loans forgiven… we’re still waiting…
Yes, I’m aware that Republicans have successfully blocked student loan forgiveness to date. But according to you, the fight is over. Even though Biden is still fighting to find a way to make it happen. You’re blaming Democrats for the consequences of Republican obstruction, and I honestly don’t know how you could be that dishonest and still show your face.
The fight is over. Biden and the Democrats are doing nothing, same as always. They meet a little resistance and cave.
So, doing something is the same as doing nothing. May as well give up and admit the party that’s fighting to help people is just the same as the party looking to fuck us all over.
Maybe I really am in the wrong community, if you represent it.
No, they meet the slightest resistance and throw up their hands. I wish that weren’t the case, but it is, repeatedly.
See all the bullshit with Joe Manchin or when Merrick Garland was denied a Senate hearing.
“Welp! Nothing we can do!”
I’ve watched them do this for decades now.
Yes, thank you for the “both sides” nonsense.
Democrats: try something and get blocked by Republicans
You: Damn Democrats didn’t even TRY ANYTHING! I might as well vote for Republicans.
