I didn't think this would last long. What's funny is all the bifftards racing to walmart to buy cases of TP...a product produced right here in the USA.
They are used to it being full of shit their entire life.
Amazing how fast people move away from a losing position when a Governor of the busiest ports reopened them using the National Guard and State Guard. DeSantis broke this strike all by himself and in doing so kept Trump clean from having to take a position. It also made the Harris administration seem ineffectual.
He did them a favor by breaking it. There are a lot of people suffering from Appalaciacola to Bristol. A prolonged port shutdown would’ve stymied relief that they need.
Strong leadership from the White House got the job done.
But Biden had refused to use powers he has under the Taft-Hartley Act to block or end the strike, saying he would not interfere with the collective bargaining process. Biden, Harris and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg had all called on the USMX to negotiate a deal with the ILA that fairly shared its record profits with members.
On Thursday morning, top White House officials met with shipping industry owners on Zoom. Biden had nudged his chief of staff, the National Economic Council (NEC) director, the Transportation secretary and Su to increase pressure on the carriers to reopen the ports, according to sources familiar with the matter.
During that virtual meeting, the source says, NEC Director Lael Brainard requested USMX make a new offer and Su suggested she could convince ILA to extend their contract if the offer were higher. Jeff Zients, Biden’s chief of staff, said he planned to brief Biden on the new offer.

The US has gone from a robust low unemployment economy which was energy independent and leading the world in oil exports to now having high inflation, high cost of fuel and open borders allowing massive numbers of criminals and possible terrorists into this country. All of these today problems were caused not by Trump but by the Obiden/Harris led government. Now you want people to vote for the same people who were have never run a business and caused the economic mess we have suffered these last3+ years ?? You are dumber than the jackass Kommi-la has selected to be her running mate...
Harris has handled the Hurricane Resonse as badly as Bush handled Katrina. She sucks at everything she touches.
If it were black communities devastated, there would have already been telethons and federal resources everywhere.
Mayorkas is a turd. Time to dissolve DHS and go back to the way it was previous to 911. It's been a huge failure. Also If you think this Administration care about black communities you haven't been paying attention.
Mayorkas' claim that FEMA is 'tremendously prepared' comes back to haunt him amid Helene aftermath
Parts of North Carolina and South Carolina have been completely submerged by flooding and communities nearly wiped out by Hurricane Helene, with residents waiting for FEMA help days later.
