G-P is owned by the Kochs. So they get excited to get a few extra bucks to fuck with democracy.

It's just called being a Republican these days.Honest question, are you a sociopath
So your buddy got his whole fucking life ripped from him and you frame that as a good thing? Honest question, are you a sociopath?
What's funny is the initial toilet paper hoarding supposedly started in Japan because one random person tweeted that they import all their toilet paper from China which was being locked down from COVID, it got retweeted over and over, and then the run on toilet paper began in Japan despite the fact they don't import it from China. Within a couple of days it had spread worldwide.Well that was a big nothing burger.
Meanwhile a whole bunch of idiots hoarded paper products like paper towels and toilet paper, even though those are made in the US and don't come through the ports. amazing lol
Was it illegal when St Ronnie sold weapons to Iran to fund Contra death squads in Nicaragua?What he did was illegal. There is a reason it is illegal for Air Traffic Controllers to go on strike. See if you can figure it out. We tried to tell him he was fucking up. He fucked around and found out.
No, I am not a sociopath. I believe in following the law of the land.
Are you?
Was it illegal when St Ronnie sold weapons to Iran to fund Contra death squads in Nicaragua?
What does that have to do with the subject we are discussing?
I don't worship any guy.Illegality..
Yet you worship one guy and hold him up as the beacon of light while despising the others.
Hypocrisy of the highest order..

And that says all I need to say about it.It was in reference to this comment:
So you DO believe Ronnie Rayguns should have been prosecuted for his part in the Iran Contra bullshit?And that says all I need to say about it.
It's hilarious to me that this guy's mental model of Biden thought that he was going to strong arm the union by enforcing the Taft–Hartley Act. But instead pro-worker Biden, in actual reality, met with the ports and companies behind the scenes and encouraged them to give the union a huge raise. I wonder if Trump, who this guy adores, would have done the same thing were he in power?To be clear, Im not pro or anti union. I used to be president of my local chapter of the International Chemical Workers Union Council / AFL-CIO. Unions have their place, but they can be detrimental also. Ive been on both sides. On one hand, strongarming the company and telling them no-automation / no advancement is ridiculous. The union doesnt own the company-- its role is not to run the company or control it, its role is to provide competant labor to the company and fair wages and working conditions for the workers.
On the other hand, the apparent price gouging on the American consumer is getting out of control, and COVID era pricing is being used as a cover to absolutely rape end consumers on many things, a vast majority of which come through these ports. From $6K to $30K in a few years makes no sense whatsoever.
Why are dockworkers at the Port of Houston striking? What are their demands?
A strike by the ILA workers would be the first by the union since 1977 and could have major impacts on the U.S. economywww.click2houston.com
This could be ugly. This guy seems to be dead serious.
So you DO believe Ronnie Rayguns should have been prosecuted for his part in the Iran Contra bullshit?
The affair was investigated by Congress and by the three-person, Reagan-appointed Tower Commission. Neither investigation found evidence that President Reagan himself knew of the extent of the multiple programs.[2] Additionally, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lawrence Walsh was appointed independent counsel in December 1986 to investigate possible criminal actions by officials involved in the scheme. In the end, several dozen administration officials were indicted, including Weinberger. Eleven convictions resulted, some of which were vacated on appeal.[12]
Possibly more could have been done, but politics always seem to get in the way to some extent. I personally believe their intentions were good although the method was flawed.

For what exactly?I absolutely believe Eric Holder should have been prosecuted, and probably still should be.
One thing with TP is before the lock downs probably 50% of TP used in the US was commercial grade. People going at work, school, restaurants, etc. But suddenly with the lock downs that shifted to 100% residential and the supply chain wasn't there. Similar things happen with food, dumping milk and cheese because it was going to commercial customers, meanwhile the retail shelves were empty.What's funny is the initial toilet paper hoarding supposedly started in Japan because one random person tweeted that they import all their toilet paper from China which was being locked down from COVID, it got retweeted over and over, and then the run on toilet paper began in Japan despite the fact they don't import it from China.

Yep. It took time to shift the supply chain. I eventually saw commercial sized canned items with Sysco labels at my local grocery store in 2020.One thing with TP is before the lock downs probably 50% of TP used in the US was commercial grade.
