Big Blitz Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 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. 1
K D Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 I ordered from Amazon this morning. When you gotta go you gotta go! There's a lot of Kamala supporters in here that are full of crap so they should get to the store asap 2
ScotSHO Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 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. 3
Roundybout Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 ***** 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. 1 1

Who do you dislike more - longshoremen or farmers? As a government employee, are you a union member?
RiotAct Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 Kamala can fix this - she just needs to be voted in first on November 5th. 4 1

The Frankish Reich Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 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.
Backintheday544 Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 (edited) And it’s done. Strikes over. Thats my President and Vice President making sure this was handled quickly. God bless them. Edited October 4, 2024 by Backintheday544 1
Roundybout Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 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.

JDHillFan Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 He doesn’t know much about what he did today but he negotiated the hell out of that labor strike. Hail Brandon. God bless this incredible man!
