So, how much money will be funneled to the port of LA in order to accomplish this?


On top of the massive amounts they already receive ?

100's of millions, if not billions.

Don't they have a worker shortage?

So how does this help.


It just does, so accept it!

Or are you one of them dirty unvaxxed Trump supporting white nationalists ?

does he not know that almost every Port works 24/7?


Unfortunately, he nor the people that are working in his administration have ever had a real job where they had to learn about and come to understand how something as complicated as international shipping can be...

The people working for him are the people that think the grocery stores grow and raise the food that is available on their shelves...

This wouldn't be needed if ports weren't 100% union operated.

Unions are the lesser of evils involved here.

Newsom and the LA mayor are the bigger evils in play.

IIRC, I thought a Chinese company was awarded several years ago the contract to operate that port?

quote:

It all started with a 40-year container terminal lease between the Port of Long Beach in southern California and Hong Kong. The Obama administration proudly signed the agreement in 2012 giving China control of America’s second-largest container port behind the nearby Port of Los Angeles. One of the Trump administration’s first big moves was to get the Communists out of the Port of Long Beach
.

Found it. Trump fixed it. I'm sure Biden will F it up.

The problems in this case are mainly bullshite caused by Newsom and the mayor of LA limiting the ability of longshoremen and truckers from unloading ships and shipping the materials. It was government red tape and not a case of people paid too much to accept a job.


This!!!

Newsome created a problem for Biden to solve. This is bullshite fake news. You guys remember the movie “Wag the Dog” where they created a fake war for media to focus on? This is live action using Covid and a manufactured labor shortage to create positive news for the potato administration.

This shite has been going on for months, and now he’s just getting around to it? I’m not sure how much it’s going to help since they can’t find enough people to work the ports during the day shift. How are they going to find them for the night shift?

Well, the Chinese have to get a cut too... You think Brandon will leave his overlords out of the picture...

And Heels Up appears to be about his equal.

Which one is the Sith master and which one is the apprentice?

You would think so. Unions have always blocked the proposals, for some reason.
