      Ha ha ha! They’re going to Vancouver and Prince Ruper, though. Suck my tarriffed hog, Murica!

    2. I am going out in a limb but I am guessing more than a few dock workers and truckers voted for trump.

    3. reminds me of covid when Italy was shutting down and America still did not realize what was coming. We will all of a sudden start feeling the effects of the tariffs soon. The recession and stagflation train has also left the station. Trump went way to far and has scared even our closest allies into looking for alternatives. Our pork and soy farmers will probably never get their export business back to where it was and the same goes for other industries.

      “It’s your patriotic duty to use your credit cards to book all our very fine cruise ships to sail around Florida, although the governor there is not, let’s just say he’s not in line at this time and his wife is ugly. She is. Really. What do you want me to say? Anyway, sail around Florida, the Caribbean, the Gulf of AMAIR IKA, that’s right, AMAIR IKA, then through our canal, then up to California where you can get a tour of the beautiful docks. I hear they’re beautiful.” — DJT

      Trump: you should see our beautiful economy … so beautiful. Tomorrow we will have 5 times the ships coming from China as today , and the day after, 7 times more.

      US trade volume is down around 30%. If that doesn’t seem like much, it took three years for trade to decline that much during the Great Depression.

      This coming week the FO part of FAFO will go up another notch. We’re still really eary in it all yet though, the heat’s barely on.

      Good luck come Christmas time MAGA. I predict some big social unrest in the summer of ’26

    8. If he can’t have a pandemic he’ll create one. Thanks a fucking lot stupid voters and non voters

      The orange rapist felon has succeeded in killing economic growth. He did it in only 100 days. A recession is guaranteed. Let’s see if he goes for full Hoover, a depression lasting a decade.

      >“That’s cause for alarm,” said Mario Cordero, the CEO of the Port of Long Beach. “We are now seeing numbers in excess of what we witnessed in the pandemic” for cancellations and fewer vessel arrivals.

      In excess. So it’s worse than the pandemic.

      >US and Chinese trade representatives are set to meet in Geneva this weekend for their first face to face meeting in an attempt to deescalate the trade war.

      That’s good news, although who knows what will come of it. At least there’s a meeting.

      >“If things don’t change quickly, I’m talking about the uncertainty that we’re seeing, then we may be seeing empty products on the shelves. This is now going to be felt by the consumer in the coming 30 days,” said Cordero.

      Great, I’m looking forward to it. 😐

      We are so screwed. Most of this country doesn’t understand what is coming. After the warehouse are cleared out althe sticker shock begins.

      Reminder that this is all happening because Trump doesn’t understand GDP and Republicans are too spineless to use their powers to stop him.

    13. Truly think Trump thought China and others would just shrug and say, “Mr President, you’re right, what can we do to serve you?” and didn’t game out this outcome at all.

    14. You know, I have to wonder if Trump thinks this is a „good thing, not a bad thing!“ because he thinks it will only hurt California. Trump is not a smart man, after all. IMO, there’s a decent chance that he thinks this trade war is a good idea because he thinks it will only impact Blue states.

      This title is misleading. Please stop posting this with the title. There are *DOZENS* of ships from China bound for California.

      The article states that „No ship has left China for California in 12 hours, something that hasn’t happened since the pandemic“.

      That is a *VASTLY* different scenario.

      Is trade dropping? Sure. Container volumes show that. Is it Trump’s fault, almost certainly. Are there zero ships inbound for California from China? Absolutely not.

      The Emperor, Putin is very pleased with Darth Donald’s plan to choke out the rebel alliance in America.

    17. whoisnotinmykitchen on

      Just came back from a work conference with a lot of American attendees. What blew me away is that most of them seem to not even know what’s going on and have little or zero awareness (or concern) about the consequences of Trump’s trade actions.

      I guess some people only learn from experience. Buckle up.

      Potatoes are very easy to grow, you don’t even have to plant them you can just cover them in yard clippings. 

      Liberty gardens will need to make a comeback

      That’s what the US wanted. They want to reduce or eliminate the trade deficit with China. The problem is that the US will not be able to make up the difference, and it will lead to high inflation.

      I would like to point out that their weren’t ships departing China during the pandemic because our ports had historic backlogs & there were hundreds of ships either anchored offshore or doing circuit-tracks for weeks waiting for their turn to offload.

      This is different. Right now there isn’t enough trade to fill the ship enough to make it profitable.

      I’ve spent 15 years in the supply chain mostly in procurement. This trade war is unbelievable. Every imaginable item will incrementally continue getting more expensive.

    21. Who the hell wrote this headline. It isn’t remotely true if you read even a little bit of the article.

      There are dozens of ships headed for the states from China. There was a 12 hour period where no ships departed for the US. Half a day. This is unusual and shipping volumes are down, but it isn’t nearly as dramatic as this headline would have you believe.

      P.S. I’m not a trump apologist, nor do I think the US is going to be doing well out of all this, but I just hate headlines that are blatant lies.

    22. Most common job in America? That’s Driver/Sales Workers and Truck Drivers. There are about 3.5 million truck drivers in America. (Misleading title by OP, but still concerning.)

      So glad I cancelled my annual business road trip through the USA–I really don’t want to be there for the empty shelf panic. Or anywhere near the thousands (if not millions) of desperate, unemployed truckers.
