Today's MAGA fantasy via Glenn Beck.

Did you know... that... Florida Governor Don Desantis single-handedly ended the port strike by threatening the workers with the national guard.
I doubt any of this is true. But think about it. How they want to brag about it in this context. Military forcing people to work. That's what MAGA is bragging about and championing.

And oddly that was the very best imaginary story that they could dream up, to try to take credit for Biden's negotiation achievement.

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.

Yeah, I think US foods started selling direct here. Luckily I was always able to stay stocked so I never bought a 10# bag of cheese

another angle to the automation part. automation in things like ports will help us reduce GHG emissions. I was on a port tour in NYC up the kills by water yesterday. the guide was saying that the NY ports are the least automated and most labor intensive ports in the country.

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.

Might as well get migrant workers then..

Like how dubai does it.. 2 year contract.. money sent to worker's home country bank account and person required to leave after 2 years and go through physical in order to renew for another 2 years.
