Dubai Dubya, No Better Than the Preppy ProgressivesLook what us liberals were saying about this when Bush was selling our ports to China and Dubai
When Americans No Longer Own America
The Dubai Ports World deal is waking Americans up to a painful reality: So-called "conservatives" and "flat world" globalists have bankrupted our nation for their own bag of silver, and in the process are selling off America.www.thomhartmann.com
The Dubai Ports World deal is waking Americans up to a painful reality: So-called "conservatives" and "flat world" globalists have bankrupted our nation for their own bag of silver, and in the process are selling off America.
Through a combination of the "Fast Track" authority pushed for by Reagan and GHW Bush, sweetheart trade deals involving "most favored nation status" for dictatorships like China, and Clinton pushing us into NAFTA and the WTO (via GATT), we've abandoned the principles of tariff-based trade that built American industry and kept us strong for over 200 years.
The old concept was that if there was a dollar's worth of labor in a pair of shoes made in the USA, and somebody wanted to import shoes from China where there may only be ten cents worth of labor in those shoes, we'd level the playing field for labor by putting a 90-cent import tariff on each pair of shoes. Companies could choose to make their products here or overseas, but the ultimate cost of labor would be the same.
Then came the flat-worlders, led by misguided true believers and promoted by multinational corporations. Do away with those tariffs, they said, because they "restrain trade." Let everything in, and tax nothing. The result has been an explosion of cheap goods coming into our nation, and the loss of millions of good manufacturing jobs and thousands of manufacturing companies. Entire industry sectors have been wiped out.
These policies have kneecapped the American middle class. Our nation's largest employer has gone from being the unionized General Motors to the poverty-wages Wal-Mart. Americans have gone from having a net savings rate around 10 percent in the 1970s to a minus .5 percent in 2005 - meaning that they're going into debt or selling off their assets just to maintain their lifestyle.

Biden can invoke an 80 day cooling off period and has been able to do that all along. So why hasn't he?

Them's the breaks.
Your side crashed the economy with your f***ing lockdowns in 2020 so you could win the election.
Payback's a bitch.

I don't think these guys deserve a 77% raise, let's clear that one up. However -- How many more jobs are going to be "automated" and how many more good paying blue collar (and white collar) jobs are going to be put out of business by AI and so forth. At some point, you need people working, or you are going to see a complete collapse. So I am generally on the union's side this particular time.

Walmart, Home Depot, Ikea and Amazon - who import tens of thousands of containers a year through ports on the east coast - would be worst hit. Empty shelves have not been seen in the US since the post-pandemic supply chain crush in 2021.
The International Longshoremen's Association is demanding a pay rise that works out at about 77 percent over six years. For union members on a typical rate, their wage would go from $81,120 to around $143,520.
Retail expert Neil Saunders of Global Data told DailyMail.om that the strike will cause two main problems - shoppers will face higher prices and empty shelves.

lockdowns were done by the states, with many of the republican run. There were a few nuts the held out that didnt lock down.
You literally just spewed more of the right-wing bullshit, once you get past the talking points you don't have shit.

Do the dockworkers make less money than other Americans? If everyone made. that figure, inflation would increase living expenses to the point it would cost themselves their bounty. while it would create millionaires, inflation would make the cost of living so high people couldn't afford necessities. The higher it gets the less families would benefit. And that's what I think. Am I wrong to think so?US ports from Maine to Texas could shut down Tuesday if a union representing about 45,000 dockworkers carries through with a threatened strike.MSN

Looks like the strike is over.
Right before the election...what a coincidence.
It didn't take long for the Democrats to read the riot act to the union bosses and shut down a very unpopular strike.
