Costco - empty.  First hand report.  
 

 

Go get your toilet paper asap.  

 

 

Full circle.  Trump left office under this situation caused by Covid lunacy.  
 

I hope this serves as a reminder to all - yes I know it’s bc of the strike.  
 

Point remains.

This is trump's fault, we just have to wait a couple of days for the MSM to tell our resident 'tards, then they'll lecture us shortly there after.

***** these longshoremen. Kicking and screaming into the age of automation. 
 

They cry about “backbreaking work” then refuse to use technology to make it astronomically easier. I can’t stand rent seeking losers. 
 

Plus, the union head is buddy buddy with Trump.

Who do you dislike more - longshoremen or farmers?

 

As a government employee, are you a union member?

Being a union member doesn’t forbid me from being critical of these clowns.

Way AI is moving along.  Jobs like his could be replaced with code.  

 

But taxes will still rise.

I'm a supporter of unions in general.

But that doesn't mean I can't be critical of unions that overplay their hands and damage the American economy.

 

While everyone focuses on base hourly pay, that doesn't tell nearly the whole story.

 

From the WSJ:

 

https://www.wsj.com/articles/striking-dockworkers-are-top-earnerswhen-they-work-17c5f7e9?mod=hp_lead_pos8

 

But shipping industry officials say it isn’t uncommon for ILA dockworkers to clear six figures. In the fiscal 2019-20 year, when ILA base pay reached $36, more than half of 3,726 dockworkers at the New York-New Jersey port earned over $150,000, according to a report by the port’s regulator. Some 665 dockworkers that year earned more than $250,000.

For longshore workers on the West Coast, who work under a different union and a single pay system, the base hourly rate last year was $52.85. The Pacific Maritime Association says the average, full-time dockworker that year earned almost $233,000.

Other blue-collar jobs pale in comparison. The nationwide average annual wage for a crane operator, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a little over $68,000. The average machinist at aircraft manufacturer Boeing in the Pacific Northwest makes around $75,000. 

 

And demands to halt automation are just preposterous Luddite fantasies.

 

And back to the point:

https://www.newsweek.com/port-strike-update-panic-buying-toilet-paper-1963037

 

Yeah, no objective need to panic buy. But these things are self-fulfilling prophecies. In other words, I went to Costco and bought the big-ass 30 roll pack yesterday.

Wouldnt be surprised if this bunch of rent-seeking losers was in cahoots with Donny. Wouldn’t be the first time he torpedoed a political agreement for his own gain.
