Females panicking!Well, I guess panic has stricken my neck of the woods. There used to be TP on these shelves. View attachment 8515546View attachment 8515547
No, we export TP. The COVID TP shortage was a "packaging" issue - TP is packaged for home use and for large institutional use (think airports, factories, restaurants, malls, etc.). When COVID shut down all the work/travel/etc. and everyone was home - then demand for home TP when through the roof and the institutional packaged TP went to zero. Paper companies could not wave a magic want to solve this and was a temporary supply and demand situation.Do we actually import toilet paper?
We import cellulose (paper raw materials) from Brazil that we convert to paper products. Do not think we import much "paper" from overseas. Can you elaborate on US paper imports? US exports a LOT of cellulose all over the world for other nations to convert to a variety of products - very large use of containers in fact. Most of the world does not have the fiber (aka trees) to make paper - Brazil is one of the big fiber suppliers outside the US.Dunno, but we import fuck tons of paper
not all of the world uses toilet paper, much is produced domestically here in the US
If this is orchestrated to produce chaos, and perhaps the Asheville devastation also exacerbated in some way like our local weather seems to be, who benefits? If Israel and Iran kickoff something bigger, and maybe they get the wet wood to light in Eastern Europe, who ends up ahead? What is the point?
I don’t believe the set piece bullshit about a “70% WAGE INCREASE!!!”. It works to get you folks all wound up bringing up old prejudices about workers and owners, but that’s like getting distracted by some cougar’s bolt on cleavage. It means nothing. What are we missing here? Just maximum chaos in order to bring in a “final solution” that is begged for by everyone? Or just typical whining humans shitting where they live and blaming everyone else for the misery.
The treadmill in my brain spins fast and largely self-governed. Occasionally I check it to see if anything interesting has popped up. Nice fake titties distract as quickly as someone else’s weekend bbq scent on the breeze.I didn't know I had ADHD until I read that, now I want to look at titties and get my wood wet to see if she can light it up
So are there any pics of the bolt on cleavage.......asking for a friend.If this is orchestrated to produce chaos, and perhaps the Asheville devastation also exacerbated in some way like our local weather seems to be, who benefits?

No! That’s the funny thing. To my knowledge TP is produced stateside!Do we actually import toilet paper?
& Canada, I would think.No! That’s the funny thing. To my knowledge TP is produced stateside!

I know that ship loads of paper come into Philadelphia from Nordic shipping companies on the regWe import cellulose (paper raw materials) from Brazil that we convert to paper products.

Hmm... maybe I finally need to get around to running circuits for bidets...Same here. All the grocery stores are wiped out, and this was Costco less than an hour ago:

It isn’t just that. Think fertilizer, and it is the season for planting winter crops. The fertilizer price won’t stay steady if the supply goes further down. We import fertilizer to grow the crops to export. This gets to why this strike is impactful and rather stupid - there isn't an industry that is not part of the global supply chain. It is truly the weakness in the world economy. I dont think many consider it and how fragile it really is. If they did they would look at world events (not just this one) in a whole different light.One thing few besides farmers consider. The amount of agricultural exports halted. This is a serious blow.

Read the full thread. This was covered.The ports on the west coast are open. Wouldn't all the stuff we import from Asian countries such as China and Korea come in through those ports? Don't Asian imports make up the vast majority of the stuff that we import?
I'm kinda worried about oil imports, but those are unloaded by hoses, not boxes. Does the ILA have anything to do with that?
What comes in through the east coast? Bananas? German cars I can't afford as I'm considered a poor? Steel? Russian ammo?
I'm just thinking this may not hurt us as bad as many think.
Yeah, a bidet is the shit.Hmm... maybe I finally need to get around to running circuits for bidets...

If they put "2 per customer" limits, Lupe will send her extended family, each with a basket, and go to seperate checkout lines. I witnessed that the first Biden shortage.And all it takes is 5-6 assholes with credit cards to clean out your store.
How the hell do we let one group get a stranglehold on our country’s economy???

DeSantis doesn’t play. Every governor needs to follow this guys playbook.
Train people. At this point no one cares, I think going fully automated is the way to go. They don’t strike and they work 24/7 and don’t call in sick. If your job can be automated, then your job is going to be extinct. That’s the way of the world. Imagine if the telecom workers did the same thing. I hope they find workers or just hire the Chinese company to automate the ports ASAP. Short term pain but I say play the long game. There isn’t a whole lot of community support for these guys.It's retard bait. FL doesn't even have one horizontal or vertical engineer company in their NG. Even if they did there are maybe a dozen people who can run a simple boom crane or heavy equipment per company MTOE..much less the shit on the docks. They aren't going to be able to do shit. There are no people qualified to run the heavy equipment and cranes needed to unload and load...lashers to secure the loads in the stacks or clerks who can manage the movement and location of tens of thousands of cans. In fact...if they tried it would take longer to unfuck than any short term possible benefit.
Great headlines but doesn't mean shit. The only people who have the experience and qualifications to run that type of equipment.....are union crane operators...and they aren't scabbing their brothers.
Bet this job gets automated in the next 10 to 15 years. It just makes sense economically. Yeah they have the upper hand at the moment but long term, the house always wins.You can't be that dumb? Oh wait yes you can.
Different part of the economy, however, a few months ago the fast food workers in Commiefornia thought they had everyone over the barrel when they got a raise to $20/hr. The the businesses decided to cut hours, automate, reduce service, close the doors, etc. and those workers ended up fuc%ed and out of a job.Bet this job gets automated in the next 10 to 15 years.

I think you are correct. The automation may be delayed but it won’t be stopped. 4th Industrial Revolution and all.Different part of the economy, however, a few months ago the fast food workers in Commiefornia thought they had everyone over the barrel when they got a raise to $20/hr.

Same with the dock workers. Short term, they win. Long term... Joe says they can learn to code. Oh yeh, coders are being replaced with AI. Maybe they can learn concrete or how to bow hunt.
They ain’t useless union hacks either for that matter. Plus robots won’t bitch and moan that they can’t do that and this because upper hand union hacks tell them otherwise. They are a fucking disgrace lately as I even belongs to UA union but won’t hold each other cocks and hands. Fuck em.Robots don’t pay union dues…
From what we are told the average person does not have enough savings to last a month or two. We can outlast them. They should be striking against the salary of the union bosses.
They get union strike pay dumb dumb. That's part of where their dues go. The amount of people commenting without the foggiest idea how any of this shit works is hilarious.From what we are told the average person does not have enough savings to last a month or two.

It's not over it's a stop gap for 3 months. They got their pay but are still fighting automation.And it's over. They got a raise from 39 to 63 per hour.
