Commerce Sec’y: ‘Haven’t Been Particularly Involved’ on Port Strike that ‘Could Be Incredibly Disruptive to Commerce’
Breitbart ^ | 09/30/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 09/30/2024 3:13:02 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo — who was appearing in her personal capacity as a surrogate for the Harris campaign — stated that she has “not been very focused on” where a potential port strike could have the biggest impact and hasn’t “been particularly involved” in the strike issue that she acknowledged “could be incredibly disruptive to commerce.”

Co-host Becky Quick asked, “I realize you’re here as a surrogate for the vice president’s campaign, but there’s so much news of the day that I feel we have to ask you about. I wanted to start with this potential strike at the ports that’s expected to take place tonight at midnight. Obviously, this is the first time since the 1970s that you would see strikes all up and down, not only the east coast, but the Gulf ports. What would this mean for commerce in this country, what would this mean for businesses if we go into this strike, and what do you know about it?”

“Raimondo said voters should ‘extinguish’ Trump.”

Didn’t a Raimondo with a male first name, post here for some time? Or at least was mentioned as “One of the good guys”... Are they related?

If I read it correctly, according to the Taft-Hartley act, Biden could step in for an 80 day cooling off period. Apparently the two sides have not sat down to the negotiating table for three months. I think that the devastation that just occurred in six states creates a national emergency.

“The Act also authorized the President to intervene in strikes or potential strikes that create a national emergency”.

You read it correctly. Every other administration has used it to force negotiations to continue and prevent an economy crippling strike.

A US port strike will create ripple effects all over the world, it’s a much bigger deal than what people realize. On the good side the Kamala-Biden-Obama clown show will own the resulting chaos.

I imagine it’s just one of the many plans to set in place to disrupt the election or thereafter. Supply chain chaos.

She’s not merely incompetent, she’s an embarrassment.

She isn’t even trying to make it look like she’s doing her job.
