“The restructuring is part of sweeping philosophical shift away from facilitating trade...”

Yes, we can’t have ports facilitating trade, can we? Oh wait. Isn’t that the whole point of ports?

China will be the highest bidder and China Joe will make sure they win the bids

“The port was created in 1891 to benefit exporters of wood and grain – white men who owned businesses,” Robinhold said.“

The same evil white men who built the buildings , streets, businesses hospitals and everything else in Portland.
Now the Communists want to sell off these assets and spread the money around .
That money will be gone soon and Portland won’t have the asset anymore.
Then the communists will ask tax payers in Iowa and Montana to bail them out.
Sick wicked people.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

In other words just give stuff to non-Asians and non-Whites. So the shiftless underclass is going to get free stuff. How does this further "prosperity"? It looks like this plan is to destroy prosperity. What else is new?

The Chicoms will teach Portland residents what racism is _really_ all about—

This will happen in Portland, the port will turn into a cesspool Democrat paradise after being sold off to people who have no idea run a profitable venture..

[usurper]

It’s sort of like having a major airport in a location where the nearest hotels and restaurants are 20 miles away.

I see you have been to Denver.

Civilization requires moral virtue.

The “leaders” of Portland have no virtue, and and they are in the process of losing civilization.

Their mouth noises are irrelevant.

[Grampa Dave]

How much you wanna bet that they’ll let the Chicoms take over the port? I thought so.

The ChiComs have a history of managing the Panama Canal Zone!:

The will sell it to a Chinese company.

China will star directing ships to use the port.

The port will be revitalized.

China will make lots of money.

Jacksonville will always be a port city, currently they are perhaps the biggest port for Toyota imports..

As you mention the Navy is huge in Jacksonville...

We also have 2 major interstates running thru the City..and a major railroad located here....it’s a transportation where sea, air, rail and roads all converge...

[SoCal Pubbie]

“ Los Angeles/Long Beach is the exact opposite. At least 75% of the imports there are moved out of the port through rail terminals and shipped across the country, so the local benefit is much smaller. ”

Where’d you get that idea? There are forty million people in California. How do you think all the Chinese goods at the local Costco gets there?

Oregon = one of the state’s with least amount of black folks... ~ 3%....

[Oatka]

"The restructuring is part of sweeping philosophical shift away from facilitating trade for powerful business interests to a “shared prosperity initiative” intended to spread the wealth to people of color, the poor and the marginalized. In some cases, that could mean selling off profitable operations in order to pursue these new, broader aims, which are taking root amid a resurgent civil rights movement."

Yeah, that will work. Look at all the dog whistles.
