Remember all those cargo ships that were waiting to unload in California? Not a problem anymore!

**** up the economy so no one can afford to buy shit, and you've solved the shipping crisis!

Retailers all know it'll be a bad holiday shopping season plus all the stuff they had ordered has finally showed up and they're out of room. Consumer spending down on non food items like clothes which are their big money makers.
I've noticed a pretty large drop of people in stores th e last few months overall.
Throw in they were charging several hundred percent more per container and reatilers can't justify the costs now. I'd have to look the costs up but something like it went from 1k to 4 or 5k per container.

It was up to $20k per container at one point, more like $1500 now

La de da da

Libs here are campaigning that China cut the supply lines. As if the California thing never happened and there's no inflation. We should elect them because they're going to save us from the Chinese. No doubt lib supporters slurp that up so hard they swallow the spoon.

GOOD!!! we stop buying china crap, and buy our OWN products for a damn change......too bad we shipped our electronics/chips plants overseas, so now to take them down and bring them back......fat chance of THAT happening....

:dance:

Taxes and regulations have taken away the incentive to manufacture anything here anymore.

sad, but

This is what Commies do: Destroy everything and rebuild in THEIR image. Everyone will be on the dole, totally dependent on govt handouts.

Biden's handlers are just following the playbook.

Everyone will be equal -- equally impoverished except for the ruling class.

Inventory Shortages, And Where Retailers Are Overstocked, By Retailer Category


The retail landscape is a disaster. So much for the "Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force".

And a ridiculously strong dollar. Most Americans need cheap overseas “stuff” because they can’t afford American built stuff.

Wages/prices divorced one another years ago, as the dollar abandoned the domestic economy to have a fling with the global. As that affair fails, Americans are going to suffer immensely because a big chunk of their manufacturing moved on. :yesnod:

Unions ruined the American workforce. They went from getting workers the safety and fairness they deserved (60 years ago)... to now overpaying unskilled positions, being an arm to a political cult party, and spending their members dues fighting for the lowest of their people (when they should of assisted the employer in firing some of hese worse-case-scenario workers).

Been there lived that on the Salary side and made the decision to move away from that shit. Had a bunch of great workers but had our fair share of terds who were protected from doing a real job. Amazing everyone would whine and cry about a person to doing their job and they were so tired of pulling their weight as well as their own. Start to tighten reigns and watch out!!. All of a sudden they are the best worker and you can't touch them.

Sounds like a old hotrod buddy of mine, drives a '68 GTO, which set in his garage full of dust for the last 10-15 years or so.....:sadangel:

He is a union welder, and so working on some fancy building for some FOUR years now, and HE is the last man on the job for the last few months of shutdown, doing his thing to correct any BS that happened......he is getting achy and tired though after some 30 years of it....late 50's and got another 1/2 dzn years to retirement.....starting to show on him.....

:dance::slap:

You had to **** up royally and numerous times to be fired from UAW job... Guy down the street was a several time convicted felon, caught dealing in the plant more than once, constantly fired and reinstated. He pushed a broom. Think it was ten years of them trying to fire him before they did successfully.. For stealing a broom handle.
Unfortunately Unions started out being the best thing for American workers but turned into a boil on the ass of our economy. I can't blame companies for leaving the US with the demands made from Unions.
I remember my neighbor who could neither read nor write voted down a 20% pay decrease back in early 80s. The owner (private held company) said he would close all 3 plants as he wasn't into it to not make money. He Offered a short term 3 year cut just to help company get thru the downturn. They voted it down 90 to 10 % so he shut the doors the next day. My neighbor never did find another job, i helped him fillout apps for months. He had zero skills and wanted 30 bucks and hr plus benefits.
I'm all for decent pay but needs to be based upon skills, how hard job is, etc.
Some fuktard pushing a broom doesn't deserve 30/hr plus full benefits when a skilled worker doesn't get much more.

Many years ago i looked into setting up a woodworking business. quickly found that every .gov level will have their hand out: up front fees for business license, ongoing fees to keep said license, record keeping every day or week to track income and expenses so i could keep .gov informed of my progress. quarterly payments to .gov for 'gross receipts tax', income taxes, FICA taxes. did the math quickly, found that i'd be handing over about 1/2 my money to these 'partners' i didn't hire.

screw that.

i'm not working past lunch, and in my evenings just to keep .gov happy and full of my sweat labor.

now if i could simply keep what i earn, and not have to keep such close track of things...then i might reconsider.

Show me a company in the USA that can try that now.As others have stated unions had their place but nowadays they are not needed.
Go over to China and you'll still find companies like that and most are American-owned liberal loving ones at that.:slap:

This ^. Government has taken over our economy and things cannot get better until that gets fixed. Everywhere we look, there’s one problem after another produced by this entity, the ultimate “taker”.

No, not really. You imagine a gulf between the abilities of owners and workers. A gulf that exists only in your mind, for the most part.

Government intrusion in markets has caused the problems, including their decision to create the dollar reserve currency. An endless parade of second order consequences that somehow manages to enrich a bunch of the decision makers in government.

But folks like you keep demanding government “do something”, so we all get to watch this latest experiment in socialism destroy our Republic.
