has blamed the country's supply chain crisis partly on the online shopping habits of Americans.
Psaki said that consumers increasing their online purchases amid the COVID-19 pandemic was part of the"root cause" of the supply bottleneck when asked to provide a"message to Americans who are still so worried about getting their Christmas gifts on time" during a press conference at the White House on Wednesday. She said the issue was"a top priority" for President"So many people across the country are purchasing more goods online," Psaki said.
"We are addressing and attacking the supply chain issues—even with the increased volume, which is the root cause here—at every front," she added."I think what people should know is this is a top priority. We've already seen progress. And we're going to continue to stay at it." Psaki said that the Biden administration was focused on expediting the movement of goods by working with ports and railroads to make sure they are operating fully, as well as"making sure people get COVID vaccines" overseas and"working with truckers and labor unions to make sure we have more people driving trucks."
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that increased demand was"the root cause" of the country's supply chain crisis.

In addition, consumers could be impacted by a recent policy change that intentionally slows some deliveries made by the U.S. Postal Service..
Can we order a real president…
Sorry Jen, there comes a time when even democrats and progressives stop believing you and Bidens bullshit.
Everything happening is by design.
OMG. You know they are out of touch. And then they speak and it is confirmed. Every time.
This woman doesn't have a clue.
Agree with her comments about the supply chain crisis, demand is much higher people are buying more and US a lot are buying online. Tough thing is for people with low skills and poor educations they’re going to have a hard time finding work.
I know mine is
That is great! Since the internet has far fewer viable small retailers, eliminating the small business that plague the country's streets brings commerce more firmly under the control of firms that are beholden to or partner with the government--this was Mussolini's dream!
Let's go Brandon.
She can’t be that stupid
Bit of a bold criticism to blame consumers in a capitalist society for buying the goods that spur the economy & wealth of the nation. Sounds like a different form of anti-materialistic perogative statements you usually hear from those living in the woods & at one with nature.
Newsweek…so embarrassing. A shell of what it was before being sold out to the Big Dummy faction.
And the delivery is consuming more gas
