It\u2019s that time of year again when families gear up for the holidays: kids prepare their Christmas lists as parents frantically search for their children’s\u2019 presents before December 25 as discounts soar. But this year, as the shipping bottlenecks only get worse, Santa may need more time to put all our gifts under the Christmas trees for all the nice kids, except for one journalist who\u2019s been very naughty this year.<\/p>\n
Washington Post columnist Micheline Maynard ripped Americans as \u201cspoiled\u201d for expecting packages to arrive on time during the shipping delays, \u201cAmerican consumers, their expectations pampered and catered to for decades, are not accustomed to inconvenience.\u201d Her opinion piece in the Washington Post was titled, “Don\u2019t rant about short-staffed stores and supply chain woes. Try to lower expectations.” She also encouraged us to lower our expectations in regards to short-staffed stores and businesses\u00a0 rather than taking our frustrations out on delivery workers while taking her frustrations out on the public.<\/p>\n
If you thought this piece couldn\u2019t get any worse, then you\u2019re in for a real shock. Maynard soon realizes the error of calling the American people spoiled and telling us to lower our expectations, not because she has any common sense (she doesn\u2019t), but because this impacts her as well. Maynard continues saying that the \u201cpaper shortages, worker shortages and the traffic jams at shipping ports\u201d are \u201cendangering holiday books sales,\u201d as her new book is now on hold.<\/p>\n
Naturally, the Twitter mob railed against her for attacking the character of Americans. Some, like Rep Dan Bishop (R-NC), stated that \u201cWe went from \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d to \u201clower your expectations\u201d in less than a year #EmptyShelvesJoe.\u201d Former Trump Chief of Staff and North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows tweeted, “\u201cTry to lower your expectations\u201d is becoming the theme of Joe Biden\u2019s America”.\u00a0 These new mantras are the latest messages from the Biden administration as President Biden has continuously underwhelmed America with his poor performance as President. From his Afghanistan withdrawal to bullying his party, Joe Biden has lost the people\u2019s trust very earlier into his term. With November 2022 drawing closer, all signs point towards a new Republican revival.<\/p>\n
