California port backlog

I thought the military was going to be sent out. Oh well. Back to normal programming.

 

If it's made here then it doesn't have to sit for however long it takes to be put in a sea can, be stacked on a ship, cross an ocean, then be unloaded off the ship and moved to a waiting area until it's trucked to it's destination. The problem is with the longshoreman union and their lazy-### members. I think I read the same story...it said, some of those yutz's might move 8 or 10 cans in a shift...2+ hour lunches, show up when they want, going home early. A more permanent solution is automation...get rid of the lazy-#####, replace them with a computer controlled system, then the union has 0 power.

 

ya but just because it’s made here doesn’t mean they pay the right rate to move the cargo. So it can still sit there for a while.

I think the industry is realizing the rates need to increase for it to move. But if it’s in the ports then it doesn’t matter what the rate is because of it’s not released it’s not going to move no matter what the rate is.

 

That's true, no doubt but the real enemy is Congress and the corporations. China NEVER would have grown so strong if it wasn't for our traitors at home in the USSA.

 

That's how they are in Baltimore. Apparently they're not allowed to strike so instead they do work slowdowns. Their contract says they have 20 minutes to move a can from the pile to a waiting chassis. This is a process that takes about 3 minutes but during their BS slowdown tactics they'll take the full 20 minutes. The crane will locate and pull the can, they'll set it above the chassis but they'll wait until the 19th minute before they actually drop it. It's such a miserable place to be. I don't miss that sad place at all.

 

Gotta recognize greedy unethical American corporations first

 

With the potential Jan 4th mandate deadline. I see things about to get even worse.
