How about the goods leaving the port for parts across the water?

You mean the shiploads of empty containers, e-waste, raw lumber, iron ore, coal, and stolen cars?

So now we know you cheer for the Teamsters over American companies that actually try to export. How many other enemies do you have?

Yep I mean all exports that make up the tonnage that workers are paid to load/unload.

Like it or not we don't live in the era of 40 acres and a mule any longer. Globalization
has taken over an as time proceeds other types including 3d printing, space, etc will take
their place. Change happens for good or bad, it's the process of evolution.
