Don't they have a worker shortage?

So how does this help.


Just going to subsidize salaries with Federal Tax Dollars, drive up inflation, and show other industries that if enough people go live off the government teet for a few months, they will get a gigantic raise and drive inflation up even more....Cheers! Happy Hump Day

Uhhhh, does he not know that almost every Port works 24/7? Labor is usually ordered by the Port Authority or the Stevedore in labor blocks of 8-12 hours. When you plan to work a ship, you try to make it work in those hours, or you have to hire a second gang for the 8-12 hour slot. True, they may not be "working" for that entire time, but that is more due to union mandated breaks.

Also, there are a finite number of berths and cranes to work those ships. You can't just say, frick it, here is some more money, lets get the backlog done. these ships are typically on a service and as soon as you send one on the way, the next one on that service comes to your port.

Brandon didn't do diddly frick that the Ports were not already doing.
