Right on time for the VP debate. Ammo for Vance?
The stolen valor point against Walz. JD should compare the end of his his 20+ years
with that of Pete Rose. Very honorable until he trashed it in the end for selfish reasons.
AND ... THIS is when the entire nation finally GETS how f’d up it was for Carter to give away the canal!!!!
You wanna see crazy...
Take a look at who’s operating some of our major ports.
They are asking for the Moon since the West Coast Ports caved into every Union demand.
How long until the great toilet paper shortage or 2024 begins?
Mostly red states, but it does include all the way up to Maryland and New York.
Don't be surprised if the Dims make a play against right-to-work legislation in red states.
wonder how many of those ports are owned/controlled by Chinese interests.
The average wage for the International Longshoremen’s Association is just over $65,000/year, but can be over $80,000/year. I am having a hard time seeing how an offer of almost $100,000/year isn’t enough. You’d think over $8,000/month would be enough to squeak by. It’s hard for me to feel sorry for them.
Life goes on be it good, bad or indifferent.
The inhabitants get what they vote for or
agree to. Enjoy your three score and ten.
Always start with the ridiculous and then deal down later.
There goes Christmas

Walk in both parties shoes.
Let them hammer it out. They know the truth.
The media and our government will lie. That is all we know for sure in our shoes.
Just passed them here in the port in Wilmington, NC. Yep- all cranes and trucks at at a standstill and the workers are striking, complete with signs.
Plan accordingly, people - pets’ food and their needs, grocery items, necessities, paper products and things for your car and household.
I remember from the covid shortages that it wasn’t a shortage of products but a shortage of packaging for the goods that was a big part of the shortages.
FJB. Human garbage. I hope people will be lining up to defecate and spit on his family for eternity.
Sounds like a winning situation for any ports remaining open and that port that Mexico just took over.
Give them a week, then pull the Reagan maneuver and fire them. Hire replacements AND automate. Greedy SOBs.
A 50% increase over six years is perfectly reasonable to me based on what I have been able to find in terms of their average income. The fact that they want no automation is absolutely absurd. Having dealt with a unique environment before that allows some automation, the amount of redundant paperwork I ended up having to do a daily basis was ridiculous.
I had to log into about five different computer systems, print five different reports, give it to another person who would enter specific numbers from those reports into a spreadsheet, because you wouldn’t want to steal that job, who would print me out another report, that I would verify, physically print out a sheet saying I verified it staple it, hand it back to them then have them print me a final copy.
Each day, about nine departments would do the exact same thing, each printing between 50 and 100 pages each, at the end of the day, you would only retain about four of those pages, the rest would be shredded. Someone I knew worked in a very similar non-industry and most of that reporting was done automatically. You could log into one, maybe two computers systems, pull up the report on the screen click a few boxes to verify it and click print, and it would spit out a two or three page report that you kept on file
It is tragic so many have been poisoned in their thinking due to bad unions [like government unions].
A good public sector union knows the importance of and highly supports the success of their employers.
They never bargain for anything that will ruin the business. That would be a deathless. Only insisting on sharing in the well researched success while protecting the employees.
Ensuring a decent living wage, safety, undue loss of employment,and a living retirement.
Corruption and government takeover of industry, has created a tsunami of hate and propganda against any citizen power group the government doesn’t control.
Just try to find a job now that isn’t with the government that offers pension.
A poorly funded 401k and medicare/medicaid is all a great deal of nongovernmental workers have now after 50 years of work.
Sure some hit the jackpot of investments. But for most, it is a hard and terrifying retirement.
Previously, unions insured employees shared in the profits of the company.
Now, the VIPS take the bounty with only the vision to get rich quick with no regard to long-term company success.
[Non-governmental] Unions and their employees have a longterm invested interest to the continued growth and success of the company and their consumers.
