I don't know where this is going, but it's big. I can't help but think he's going to have to eat some of his proclamations.
"Oh hey, you longshoremen over there, I say you have to run 24 hour shifts and you have no standing." "Vacc up and work 24/7 right now!" How well do you think that goes over with the dockworkers??
They can put the whole country out of business if they feel like it.
I've never seen such insanity, he's a raving lunatic.
Edit to add today's edict from on high: "Biden wants Port of LA to work 24/7"
I think they got more pushback then they thought and have the explicit goal of "fake it 'til you make it". So they will attempt to make the people pushing back believe they are the only ones doing so in the hopes that they will drive enough conformance until that is actually true. So whatever the resistance, expect the government and media to act as though it is minimal and acceptable.
I also believe that the government is is a position to bail out companies who comply with vaccination requirements for quite some time, and people who resist should prepare to be engaged in a multi-year fight.
I also think that if the government thought they could roll up to your house, kick down the door, throw you on the ground, and inject you involuntarily, they would do so; so the fact they aren't suggests they themselves think they lack some level of authority to do so. Which is a silver lining to the whole ordeal.
The longshoremen have raised hell many times before with many of the same nope tactics/ iirc they always win.
They're union, they're very tight, and they have work contracts. These agreements cannot be altered until they expire and are re-negotiated; the terms of current contracts stand as is. Biden can't just walk in and tell the Longshormen's union that all the terms are changed tomorrow.
Crazytown meets unexpected blockade. Then what happens?
Call in the National Guard?
That seems to be their solution to everything.
Yep. Saw they're already having Nat'l Guard administering Coof shots since so many health staff had to quid over mandates in Massachusetts.
Historically: violence.
War Production Act making treason to strike.
What about quitting en masse? Are you gonna be thrown in jail for changing careers? That seems like it wouldn't go over very well.
Also they'd need to spin up another war. Maybe this is how we end up going to a hot war with China? But that doesn't seem like it'd be very good gambit for them at the moment with our military degenerating into a social experiment rather than an organization designed to kill people.
It's not about the vaccines per se, it's about making people comply. Forcing people at gunpoint isn't compliance, so it doesn't further their goals. You have to actually love Big Brother. You have to be made to come to terms with it on your own, otherwise they haven't really got you.
HARSH punishments for doing so. Biden already ordered the military to DISHONORABLY discharge anyone refusing the clot shot. That's the same thing as a felony on your record and comes with the same penalties like no gun ownership, no more voting and essentially zero job prospects. The goal is to destroy any resistance by all legal means possible so if that means forcing thousands of military personal into being felons and shuttering every small business then so be it.
The normies are currently a decent problem, CRT/Covid protests, Fuck Biden chants and inflation are pissing them off but the normies tend to go back to sleep pretty quickly once normalization goes into effect. Pretty soon people will likely be saying 'gas was always 5 bucks a gallon' and 'steak was always 15 bucks for flank' and thanks to the Jan 6th trap the right is walking on eggshells so they're basically a non factor for now so it's just push harder and faster before the right finds its balls and the compliant normies start agreeing with the angry ones when they realized there's no going back to 2019 and it's by design. But by then it'll be too late and vax passes, CRT, ostracization of the unvaxed from society and businesses and papers please will be law and any dissent will be punished harshly....Mid 2022 I'm betting is the longest they can keep the propaganda rolling.
Dishonorably discharged is worse than being a felon, you become an non-person. Felons, while losing many rights, can at least still get a job. Hell, they can still vote in some places.
They really aren't thinking this DD thing through. Go ahead, make a bunch of young men trained in urban warfare and squad tactics with no families and very little to lose an underclass. Go right ahead, see what happens.
Tinfoil me thinks that's part of the plan. Get these guys pissed off, there's a happening, and the Federals get to go all out in tyrannizing the citizens
Seems like they're doing EVERYTHING they can to start a boog. I'm thinking the powers that be want America to Civil War so China can be the new world power and this is just to get America out of the way since no other country can stop them, even a coalition would be hard pressed to stop the CCP war machine without the US involved somehow. We kept Japan as demilitarized as possible, SE Asia is too poor for the most part and East Asian countries are either reliant, allied or too weak to oppose them and the NATO countries are too concerned with Russia to move on them in case Russia decides to make a move.....SK is too preoccupied with NK to do much as well.
Dishonorably discharged servicemembers lose the right to vote?
It's basically the worst thing the government can do to you while still allowing you freedom of movement.
Hopefully they do a class action. I can't imagine this is actually a reasonable reason for discharge. Like I know a lot of vaccines are required for service but those were previously all FDA approved. As of now only that unavailable Pfizer one has been as a way to dupe people into thinking the rolled out Pfizer injection was.
Eh, not sure how viable the class action route would work what with sovereign immunity. Basically that's the feature of our legal system that you can't sue the government (both state and federal) without its consent, and there's only a few circumstances where it consents.

They lose all veterans' benefits, and are forbidden from owning a firearm, working for the government and taking out bank loans, they also lose the right to vote and accept federal assistance as a civilian as well.
That's pretty wild.
I'm not sure there is anything that allows your right to vote federally to be rescinded in Canada.
AFAIK, even felons in prison retain their right.
Felons, getting a dishonorable and the mentally retarded can't vote here.
Deadlines Nov. 28. They're already witch hunting and kicking service members who are repubican or libertarian though. Not DD-ing them but separating which means the military is terminating their contract early and you get a general discharge.
Put it out of business then big banks buy it up
Bill Gates swoops up more prime farmland.
Probably a good thing that will happen is you will see more business come back to the US, or at least North America. They were already starting due to a number of factors making China no longer as useful, but with the utterly retarded shipping cost that have started happening, it is actually cheaper and easier to just pay the higher wages in the US. The problem is that that industry wont be going back to where it left for the same reasons it left. Texas, Tennessee, and Florida have better business environments than Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, so guess where those new factories will be going.
I think it will also be good in the long run because it shows that the government doesnt have nearly the power they claim to, and people can see it. They thought everyone would just go along with it because they said so. They werent expecting that a large chunk of the American people would remember that their heritage is rebellion and that they would get smart about it. So smart in fact that people are organizing an entire grassroots campaign without saying a word, because if they did it would draw the Eye of Sauron.
I also do think it will still end with them getting stomped on in the midterms. A lot of swing states have already gotten rid of the methods used to "fortify" the election, and did it on the hush-hush while the media was distracted with other things. And so far, in just about every off election that has happened, it has seen the Republicans (usually Bannonite/Trump Populist rather than old-school) utterly stomping the Dem they ran against into the ground and burying them alive, even in areas that have been Dem for decades.
So I stand by what I have said since Brandon was elected: What everyone else sees as the boot stamping on a human face forever, I see as the elite nobility trying to loot everything that isnt nailed down. Because they can hear the peasants at the door and coming for their booty, and no one wants to be the one holding the bag when the peasants show up (because that person will become shorthand for "infamous.").
I think you're right about the target states for these companies specifically. Smith and Wesson, which has been operating out of Massachusetts for 160 years, recently announced they're going to Tennessee.
So it's not even people coming home, even stateside they're flocking out of the blue areas. Oh, and Tesla of course, but everyone here was probably already aware of that.
I have also heard rumors that when Ford finishes building their big mega-factory they are working on in Tennessee and Kentucky, they are planning on moving their headquarters from Dearborn to Memphis (to be closer to their new plant).
As well as other things I have heard of, there are apparently a lot of new steel mills under construction in the US (but mostly smaller mills instead of giant facilities owned by big multi-nationals). There are the major computer chip factories going up in Arizona. There is apparently a growing textile industry out of the Carolinas because someone finally found a way to automate the process so that you dont need thousands of workers (I saw a mill that runs on just 10 people to maintain the machines and fix errors). Apparently we are also starting to get some of the more energy intensive manufacturing types like wiring because even with the rising cost of energy, the US still has much cheaper energy than the rest of the world.
But as you pointed out: none of that is in the Blue areas, so they will likely continue to suffer as industry refuses to get eaten by a bunch of commies. I suppose that will be good for the rest of us though, as well as the nation at large.
To me, it looks like they're actively trying to obliterate everyone's income and savings so that the population will be willing to work for pennies like the Chinese are.
I wonder if it's purely and simply a move to remove the US middle class. The inflation they're leaning into will do a good job of that, but the money they're printing should keep working class people content for a while longer.
In the long run, though, that looks an awful lot like re-establishing some form of feudalism - the middle class was what let working-class types move up, take that out and the two never meet.
Chaos.
Market crash.
Money printing galore.
Rampant inflation.
25th amendment, Joe retired.
Kamala new president, promises change and hope.
Vaccine mandates codified into constitutional amendment, Pfizer gets cabinet position and UN delegate seat.
Bill Gates wins Nobel peace prize with Fauci
Two billion dead from vaccines.
They will never admit that the vaccines are killing people. Covid-19 will be the first novel coronavirus in history that evolves to become more infectious and more lethal, and no one will ever question how.
Eventually someone is going to get killed.
God willing.
The shipping situation is weird. I was talking with a friend the other night who works CBP and they were saying that all the longshoreman and truckers are in place to be delivering goods, but whoever's in charge of giving the all clear to start delivering things is doing some weird shady shit to keep product from making it to market. Shit like surprise pest inspections to take entire shipping containers out of commission to get hosed down for pests, all of it out of fucking nowhere and on a large scale. They think it's being done to hide how bad inflation is. "Oh prices are going up because supply chain is broken" goes over a lot better than "prices are going up because we're experiencing the beginning of hyper inflation".
