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"
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?

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.
