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 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".
