Oh great...Now what am I supposed to do with the pallet of toilet paper I bought at Cosco?
Man, just once I want my prepper stash to actually come in handy.
Funny. It’s one of those things I wish I never have to use.
It gets tiring having to remember to rotate out the stock so it doesn't go bad. I almost forgot to use up the gasoline I stored for my generator and replace it with fresh fuel, even with stabil it only lasts 20 months at best. Go figure that we haven't had a single blackout in years since I bought that generator.
Same. I guess it’s like insurance. You’re glad you have it but hope you never have to use it. At least that’s how I feel.
Start eating at PF Chang's. yuk yuk
taco bell?
Oh yay, just in time for the new administration to deal with.
Don't worry, if it's Trump he's mastered the Art of the Deal, so if anyone can handle it, he can.And if it's involving human smuggling inside the containers as one video I saw implied, there are bigger things at play here that involve his Plan.
The president guy said if u invoke the act, it just means we are forced to go to work. You think my men will pull 20 containers per hour? Go ahead.
Don't expect things to contine like before. Besides, everything is now 18 days behind schedule.
This. They might go back to work but it will be working as slow as possible and tons of "malicious compliance."
Sounds like Basement Biden invoked that one rule. It's a 60 or 90 day cooling off period?
Taft-Hartley Act. Believe it’s 80 days.
I’d imagine the Union Boss with Mob ties releasing the statement he did which essentially amounted to “Fuck the Country. We’ll cripple the economy and put everyone in the poor house. Unless we get what we want.”
With it coming on the Heels of a major Disaster that if stories coming out are to be believed. Essentially leveled a few dozen Counties across several states and has at least killed 200 they are officially acknowledging. With potentially upwards of a thousand or more dead according to some anecdotal reports.
Likely Eroded much of the publics support for their strike. So they had incentive to come back to the table.
I agree. That mob boss wannabe derailed any leverage they had. That was a bad look for the Union and they read the tea leaves. They had no support. Hurricane disaster and he comes out and says “I’ll cripple you”! Bad move.
Correct - 80 days.
I don't think he was involved.
"It's collective bargaining," he said. "I don't believe in Taft-Hartley."
I'm thinking maybe a different President may have been involved...
Maybe he mentioned he might use this tactic when he comes into office:

While the ILA are not a public union I wouldn't put it past Trump to figure out a National Security angle or something similar and use it.
Honestly I think they could find a bunch of people willing to take over those jobs.
Yeah like the millions who crossed just as i typed this
"HOUSTON - Union for 45,000 US dockworkers agree to suspend strike until Jan. 15 to provide time to negotiate new contract."
Just sayin'...
Then It will never happen. DeSantis was sending the nationl guard to run the ports here in florida. They're afraid of what the NG will learn about their operations. The union members all need to actually become a real union and fire the commie union that controls their lives.
This can mean that the strike was a white hat thing timed to make Kamala and Joe and Barry look bad. The union chief was interviewed the other day saying that the president can and will put a Taft-Hartley on him which says they have to go back to work for 90 days. Or it could be a cabal move to make the clown show look better. From the vibe I’m getting right now listening to the fake news, they’re making buttiplug and the democrats look like heroes and Joe is giving them the credit too so it was probably was the latter. Moves and counter moves. How do we counter this? Get ready for some declass??? I hope
Well, since it is still planned to happen, Harris can't claim a victory.
