"Not a single international #cargo ship at the #PortOfSeattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from #China. We’re screwed." - Lizzy Tish‬

@Rasta Oh so that's the point, to kill California?

@joe Last I heard, Seattle was in Washington state, not California, but the number of ships scheduled to arrive at the huge ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is dropping substantially also. @Rasta

@EricFielding @Rasta Hey doctor - can you help me and let me know which ports are the biggest, busiest on the west coast?
Show threadDr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD5d ago
@joe @Rasta The Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex is the largest and busiest in the USA. It handled over 10 million containers entering the USA last year.

@EricFielding @Rasta What were you saying about Seattle? Is "Gavin Newscum" the governor of that state?

@N1ZZZ @LevZadov @joe @Rasta I don't see a Fediverse account for Sal Mercogliano, but he does have his BlueSky account bridged to the Fediverse:

@EricFielding @joe @Rasta Things are slow in the Port of Oakland, too
Show threadRasta5d ago
@samhainnight Not all ports receive international ships or ships from China depending on their distribution . All ports will suffer but those doing 40% of trade with China will be hit hard
