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"
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.
