    i have been at many major ports in the U.S., none of them set any records for speed or service.... overpaid and lazy imo.

    *note, must stop by dollar general & buy 5000 rolls of TP....

    The union lost the fight before the strike started when propaganda reported they make $200k a year. They want to go down with a fight. Strike only hastens the automation.

    As far as suffering, sorry if their freedoms to make bad decisions hurts your feelings.

    Nope

    Never been a union member

    I just think it’s their right to go out fighting. I also tend to support American workers over foreign companies. Once the propaganda got out they making $200k they lost the public whose more interested in cheap crap from China.

    How did we ever get in a position where foreign companies are controlling American infrastructure? And the public is supporting the foreign companies?

    I have a feeling the ones they LET cross the border will come into play. Just my gut talking. Maybe just gas
    I have a feeling you're right! I'll also be stopping after work and getting a few supplies we already have but are repeat buys that may become scarce in a week or two, lessons learned from Covid!
