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. |

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.

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

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. |

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. |

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).

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. |

Go over to China and you'll still find companies like that and most are American-owned liberal loving ones at that. |

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. |
