ROADMAP TO A SELF-SUFFICIENT INDUSTRIAL BASE

"The task force found that, “Increasing globalization of the supply chain and a diminishing domestic manufacturing sector are combining to create human capital gaps and erosion of American capabilities. STEM knowledge and core trade skills are necessary to ensure the holistic and synergistic health of the defense ecosystem. Skill gaps in both areas entail inherent risk, from a decline in production capacity to decreased innovation.”

[Fester Chugabrew]

“But much of our imports and exports still depend on the California bottleneck that begins with Communist China and ends in Communist California.”

The money quote.

"Excluding government workers, unionized representation in all industries has fallen to a 60-year low. Only 6.6 percent of all private sector workers belong to a union. In trucking, about 2 percent of all 3.5 million truck drivers are unionized."

Stop it. This is not a "union" problem.

Too bad that Buttiegieg hasn’t figured this out yet.

Folks when China and Russia killed off 20-50 million of their own people, do you realize how they did it?

And we Americans have only killed off over 60 million humans that would have been citizens.

How DARE we point the finger at others!!

BS!
It is a UNION propagated problem.
FRs’ resident Union mouthpiece is spewing the Commie lies!

The Union control of ports and the banning of California domiciled truck owner operators was all pushed by the union controlled California legislature.
ANYONE that knows ANYTHING about the trucking industry knows it is predominantly Owner Operators that haul containers in and out of the ports. The Commie Union supported SB5 banned them!

Find ANY retail store that does NOT have a HUGE supply of Anti-Bacterial products at giveaway prices!

If mexico was smart, and not overrun and controlled by drug lords selling poison on behalf of the DEA to justify their institutional existence. They’d open up a port right there on the west coast to compete with the california communists. Open a lane into Texas and open the spigot.

Communists are only good at one thing, brainwashing the people into their own destruction.

—
They are good at two things :
1) Brainwashing themselves and other people into their own destruction.
2) Mass Murder

Leftism ruins everything it touches. Can’t be said enough. It’s the most toxic thing on the planet.

This is the reason why both the CN and CPRS railroads were trying to purchase the KCS railroad.
The CPRS won out.
They now have track that runs from BC to PQ and south through the US all the way to Monterey, MX.
The north/south trade is going to be huge.

Voting Democrat has SEVERE consequences!

"Nobody told me that voting to punish others would come back to punish me."

Alot of them are :

Wal Mart & Lowe’s are stops I make every month. Also ranch supply.

Two years ago, Governor Newsom signed the Democrat supermajority's Assembly Bill 5 into law. While AB5 was billed as a crackdown on Uber and Lyft, forcing the companies to treat l freelance contractors as employees, the gig economy companies pushed Proposition 22 so that they were the only ones exempt from the law. ... AB5 however was less about Uber than it was about outlawing freelance employees in order to force them into unions. The union power grab inconvenienced Uber and Lyft, but crushed freelance workers in a variety of fields including journalism. One of the fields...was trucking.

Someone knew what they were doing to have all these individual destructive choices hitting at the same time... to bring down the country.

Wow, this is up there with Victor Davis Hansen’s piece about conservatives hell being liberal nirvana.

Do you have a link to Hanson's article? I can't seem to find it.

Another its-time-to-panic article. Plenty of essentials in every store in Florida. The deep state is PROMOTING the panic in order to clamp down on their subjects again. Never let a crisis go to waste.

When democrats rule it never gets better.

As bad as abortion is, it doesn’t mean the whole family was
killed off. It doesn’t mean that breadwinners were killed
off so that children were left to their own devisings.

It doesn’t mean that millions of moms died, leaving
children behind.

It was close to an extermination of a certain people, and
the government didn’t really give a damn.

So yeah, we have every right to mention it.

If only perfect people could damn sin, sin would have
free run of the place.
