"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 It's not like many people in Seattle love Trump. Make them pay for not worshiping their King! Once Trump screwed with China Tariffs it was all over for international trade.

Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD 5d ago

@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 @joe @Rasta

Read the original post again. Its about all the ports.

Fight for a good work life balance.

Joe Alexander 5d ago

@EricFielding @Rasta Hey doctor - can you help me and let me know which ports are the biggest, busiest on the west coast?

Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD 5d 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.

Joe Alexander 5d ago

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

@EricFielding @joe @Rasta

That was *last* year.

@EricFielding @joe @Rasta Things are slow in the Port of Oakland, too

@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

@joe @Rasta 中国加利福尼亚州 could be a solution to this problem.

@tessarakt @Rasta I'll never know what you said.

@joe @Rasta Zhōngguó Jiālìfúníyàzhōu, literally "California, China" (like "Hongkong, China" or "Taipei, China").

@tessarakt @Rasta California doesn't need China.

Fabian Transchel 5d ago

@joe @tessarakt @Rasta We'll see about that soon enough.

@ftranschel @tessarakt @Rasta It doesn't need to BE China

@Jennifer @Rasta
The word "idiotic" immediately came to mind when I read Rasta's post. 💯

@tc_morekindness @Jennifer
Hey, I resemble that remark! 😆

Tea 🍵 💙🎶🌻5d ago

@Rasta @Jennifer Not you!! The idiotic Pumpkin/Tariff King!

@tc_morekindness I still resemble that remark ;P Hey, how's you in the soviet state? I just sent my daughter a POOP emoji, I told her I want to be in contact with her once a week or more often. Just a message, not a call.

Tea 🍵 💙🎶🌻5d ago

@Rasta Oh, I'm doing ok, thanks, tho this state is making me want to move to .... Canada! 😆 Maybe you can find me some beautiful property up there. And certify that I'm of good character. Oh, but I don't like snow. That could be a problem.

That's not too much to ask your daughter. Though be prepared to get a poop emoji back. 😉

Franceska Mann 5d ago

When the shops have empty shelves and our three dollar baking pan is now $25, maybe Trump's cult will wake up out of their stupor? When their emperor has no clothes.

Mycotropic 5d ago

@FranceskaMann @Rasta

He'll blame it on liberals, his death cult will believe him and they'll continue on as before.

Franceska Mann 5d ago

@mycotropic @Rasta

He will try. There are so many more people who are not like that. But the majority of Americans are either too busy and exhausted trying to survive, or they're complacent. The majority hasn't taken action yet. But more and more of us are activating. We're reaching critical mass and exerting pressure. We just have to keep going, and grow stronger, until we win and the fash is gone.

Pēteris Krišjānis 5d ago

@FranceskaMann @mycotropic @Rasta yeah, I wouldn't automatically assume compliance. Cult will be cult, rest of people will be seriously pissed about their lives being destroyed.

@FranceskaMann @Rasta Keep in mind how many historical examples there are of people in cults committing suicide to prove they believe.

People get into cults so they can not deal with reality. No amount of adverse reality will get them out of the cult.

(A whole lot of acceptance and approval, tangibly expressed (= food, company) can do it, sometimes.)

The thing to plan on, for, and about is mutual aid; get your community through this as a community.

@graydon @FranceskaMann
PRECISELY. I just had this discussion today. 900 fundamental believers, didn't want to die, didn't believe it was God's will, they all knew their bibles, but a cult leader named Jim Jones gave them the kool-aid, Branch Davidians? Any faith-based anything is a cult. Believers do not need proof.
I used to have a lifelong friend that went into the ministry, Just your run of the mill boring pastor. Suddenly he's praising a felon, rapist, because he said something Israel

Franceska Mann 5d ago

@graydon @Rasta

I might be organizing my small cities community garden. It's on the table. I'm waiting for details to come together. The plots are free, garden tools are available, water is there, the site is well situated. Each household can garden up to three plots. And still, about half of the community garden is empty.

If they give it to me to run, I'll fill it up.

@FranceskaMann When they storm the capitol, and those people went to jail for what hey thought was civilized support for their cult leader, was the time to act.. but the crazy goes on. You'll not convince people who believe, that God is a myth, or bleach drinkers that you don't have a basement in every pizza parlor molesting kids.
They aren't well

That’s a quote from someone named Houston Wade on Facebook.
I can’t find much of anything to back up his claims,
but I’m guessing he’s likely not wrong..

@Mare I've seen new links about reduced shipping, but nothing on Facebook is news. All Canadian news , for example, cannot be shown there, but Fox News is.. and, I don't want to put money in the hands of someone who is doing all this harm so I don't use META anything (the actual FAKE NEWS)

@Rasta
I don’t trust anything that comes out of Facebook

@Mare @Rasta Can we get a source for this beyond “Lizzy Tish”? It sounds dramatic and real, but is this just pulled from someone’s arse?

@petep44 @Rasta
I’m a fan of sources too. When I tried multiple searches it only brought me to a random Facebook post (which isn’t ever trustworthy imo).

It does seems like a possible scenario, and could be applicable before long, but any live shipping websites showed nothing like this.

@Darkphoenix Not a good time to be a stevedore in a major US shipping port

Kevin Russell 5d ago

Amazing catch Rasta thank you for pulling back the curtain.

American ports are empty.

@kevinrns Back in 1980s, Greenpeace extremists behaved like todays Climate Warriors. Nothing was too extreme to get their message out> They took one of their Rainbow Warrior like ships into a shipping canal (lock) and dropped an anchor chain across the doors, damaging the locks. It would be months if they were unable to be repaired. We were due to travel that way and were rerouted in a Navy ship

txt.file 5d ago

I am very curious how the American nationalists replace all those international dependencies (goods from other countries).
@Rasta

@txt_file Who can replace them? The orange felon has tariffed penguins.
But, one single country the size of China, being stopped for a day, will have layoffs. Remember the stuck Evergreen ship in the Suez? Couldn't get North American auto parts due to that delay.

Gatekeeper..5d ago

@Rasta
Consider this the fucking woke up call half the country denied would happen if Trump got in again.
I know those workers aren't libtards.

@GatekeepKen Half the country can't process this, they have been conditioned, gaslighted and fed fake news all throughout.
Religious people don't give up their religion because of stormy days.. That's half the teaching, suffering for the religion. The only way to reach the MAGA crowd is with mental help.

Gatekeeper..5d ago

@Rasta
Talk about a job...ugh

@GatekeepKen But it's true in all countries. Homelessness and mental health issues. Some unemployed and some DEI Republican Senators. 😆
