I will say while i was out in California the brilliant liberal minds out there decided to extend the unemployment benefits (Brilliant) which why would any of the truck drivers, dock workers or any one else go back to work if they can sit on their a** in their living room and have the gov't pay them . As long as they continue to pay people and have them believe the apocalypse is upon us the world as we knew it will never be back to what it was because there are the mind less that want to be led by the hand and told what is best for them and they can't think for them selves. It is up to those independent people that will over come to prove that it can be done with out their help or supposed leadership if that's what you call it ... P.S. It wouldn't surprise me if this was all planned to keep the hysteria going JMHO . Edited October 24, 2021 by T master 1 1

LeviF Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 lol wait what This is forty years of policy, production, and consumption issues finally coming to a head thanks to a mass shutdown/restart event. Biden is an incompetent and so is Mayor Pete. But these problems didn’t start in January. In fact, Elaine Chao’s tenure as SecTrans was as disastrous as Pete’s so far. But this is what happens when a position like that gets handed off to a political favorite rather than to someone with actual, real-world knowledge of these issues.

Its the breakdown of overly complex systems at work. And some light should be shined on the architects of the globalization policies that gutted US manufacturing capacity, killed millions of jobs and thousands of small towns and cities, along with enabling the rise of China as a world power. Professing a process of engagement would make the Chinese system more like us. Swing and a miss on that. Right now Xi seems worse than Mao. All this for saving at everyday low prices and producing mostly poor quality junk consumer products that break in a couple years. So I guess the rule that you get what you pay for still applies. If the Scarecrow had a brain the administration might generate an idea to maybe, just maybe, look at concept of making mission critical products and components domestically. And for a few pennies on the dollar avoid the 10,000 miles supply chain problems. And eliminate sending hundreds of billions in trade to our enemies. 1 1

True but there are ways to alleviate the logjam as illustrated above. The problem is, it would likely involve stepping on Union toes and this admin won't do it. Again, until it's too late.

This is a lesson in the perils of the 10,000 mile logistics supply line and the virtues and benefits of self-sufficiency. Maybe the lesson will be learned and some of the productive capacity that was off-shored to save a few pennies and enrich large mega-corporations will be re-established if for nothing more than national security reasons surrounding critical components and materials? Our current shell of an economy is dominated by billionaire Silicon Valley tech oligarchs that produce nothing other than moving data and information around while skimming 5% off the top.

B-Man Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 SUPPLY CHAIN WOES WORSEN FOLLOWING BIDEN’S INTERVENTION Two weeks ago, Joe Biden announced with fanfare that he was taking steps towards having our main port facilities operate around the clock to alleviate the supply chain snags that are causing so much disruption. Since then, according to the Washington Post, the backlog of ships anchored off the coast of Southern California has increased. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/10/supply-chain-woes-worsen-following-bidens-intervention.php https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/26/supply-chain-ports-fees-biden/ 1
Irv Posted October 30, 2021 Author Posted October 30, 2021 Demented Biden and his communist buddies have proven the "America Last" agenda is an abject failure. If you voted for this loser and his comrades, shame on you! You are losers. Sad.
Thurmal34 Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Never thought i would see the people who don't understand socialism begging for socialism. Do we hate socialism this week or do we want socialism this week?

Round up every able body illegal at the border. Take them to truck driver and longshoreman training. After one week training take them to the ports and order them to work. If they do a good job they can stay. If not, make them swim back across the Rio Grand at gunpoint. Problems solved. What A ***** Mess Second post with a right wing poster promoting slavery. Very telling we had a ton of right wing comments on here and not a single one called him out. 1 1

To quote “If not, make them swim back across the Rio Grand at gunpoint.” what the poster was talking was forced labor. Don't lump yourself in with supporting US slavery. 4 minutes ago, Doc said: Because slaves had the opportunity to go back to their home countries... https://www.antislavery.org/slavery-today/forced-labour/ Forced labour is any work or service which people are forced to do against their will, under threat of punishment. Almost all slavery practices contain some element of forced labour. 1
Doc Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Nope, still not slavery. Slaves aren't/weren't given the choice to return to their homelands, where they would be free again. 1

So do we believe Doc or a webpage called antislavery.Org? “Forced labour is the most common element of modern slavery. It is the most extreme form of people exploitation.” This is beyond this board being a cesspool that a person is promoting slavery and another is defending it. Shame Add UN or Doc: According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) more than 40 million people worldwide are victims of modern slavery. Although modern slavery is not defined in law, it is used as an umbrella term covering practices such as forced labour, debt bondage, forced marriage, and human trafficking. Essentially, it refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, deception, and/or abuse of power. https://www.un.org/en/observances/slavery-abolition-day Edited October 30, 2021 by Backintheday544 1
