Oh great.

Now CNN is carrying the story.

Let the widespread panic buying begin.

This is what the left is implementing.

Everything they warn us about is not a prediction as they want us to think, but a warning of what they have planned for us in the near future.

They want us to think that they are so prescient to get this right that we can trust them to fix the problem, when in reality, the only reason they get it *right* is because it’s in the works to deceive us into submission to them.

They get it *right* because they are in the process of working it out.

How about just give everyone freedom of movement and forget the vaxes?

Sheesh, does anyone care about actual immunity any more?

Because it’s something you NEVER hear from the government or big pharma.

Then again, someone who is immune cannot be controlled and cannot be made any money off of.

They are away from their families, so it’s not totally a bad thing. :)

Ports in America could fix it on their turf if the unions let their workers work longer hours.

“stuck on ships for 2 years?”

Reminds me of my Dad’s service in the Navy in the Pacific. One of his many duties on his small ship was getting food and supplies. As they first arrived in port he would look for Norwegian flags.

The Norwegian ships were “stuck” at sea due to the NAZI invasion back home. Of course they were still fishing, shipping, etc.

Dad spoke fluent Norwegian, and the Norwegians were always excited to have an American visit that could speak Norwegian and talk about Norway. (Most dad’s cousins and other relatives were still in Norway and he kept in close touch).

He said the best food he ever ate was on that small ship. Fresh fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, etc.

Sorry for the aside. However - I can see where some ships might not want to sail to certain countries. I’m guessing some countries already have two-week long quarantines before they could come off the ship? What sailor wants to do that!

In an open letter Wednesday to heads of state attending the United Nations General Assembly, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and other industry groups warned of a "global transport system collapse" if governments do not restore freedom of movement to transport workers and give them priority to receive vaccines ...

So CNN's 'theory' is that transport workers -- for some odd reason -- do not have access to the vaccines? Here's my theory: a significant chunk of the workforce doesn't want the vaccine to the point where they are willing to be terminated by their employer. Look around your place of work. If one-in-five workers got terminated next week, how would all the work get done. Most companies are already short-handed since last Spring when some state governments instituted lockdowns and the Feds decided to break the piggy bank with emergency UE benefits. But of course CNN can't admit to any of this.

Ayn Rand called it.

The people who run the show got to their station by trading favors. They can’t keep the world moving.

give them priority to receive vaccines ...

Inconsistent requirements mean that some seafarers have been vaccinated multiple times because some countries have approved only certain vaccines...Meanwhile, the unequal distribution of vaccines globally means that only about 25% to 30% of seafarers, many of who are from India and the Philippines, are fully vaccinated...

So some don't have enough jabs and some have too many. oh boy

I suspect the 200 dollars worth of daffodils from Holland are on some ship waiting to dock at some port in US. Hope I get them by early Nov.

Remember to fire the 30% or so of them that are still working for failure to take the mandated frankenshot.
