'Dominoes falling' in global shipping as coronavirus continues to grip China's economy | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77085029 United States 02/22/2020 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Refrigerated ships full of frozen food - known as ‘reefers’ - are unable to enter Chinese ports because berths are full and therefore cannot tap into electricity chargers. There is a logjam caused by the critical shortage of dockers and drivers. Meat supplies are spoiling at sea. Quoting: Jesus Wept The US Agriculture Transportation Commission said the Pacific supply chain has been badly “compromised” and logistical headaches are building up as US ports as well. There will soon be an acute lack of containers in both American and European ports as the finely-tuned regime of world maritime transport goes haywire Insurance companies will go tits up. Soon. Buttt, butt......Fat Donnie says it is under control and April weather will kill it! LMFAO. Fat Donnie will preside over economic collapse and GOP, already finished, will suffer immensely. Guess Don the fucking Con was using his head about his reassurances? You are a sterling dullard if you think the current GOP has any kind of a future. You old white MAGAbillies are like the American Bison in the 1880s. You dummies are dwindling. |

Add a lack of affordable healthcare, and you realize this was the plan three years in the making. Notice no cases in south America- they're the slave agriculture labor, the poor in America will be killed off (too fat and lazy to be good workers). Middle class will be drone tech/manufacturing jobs/house servants. The wealthy will have everything. Nearly 30 years ago, the second largest urban area came to a standstill because of a traffic incident caught on camera. You are not using your head, there will be massive insurrection. No there won't because if "tRump seyz iz okeydoeky errythang iz okeydoeky!" |

Suited up and Armored in Christ! User ID: 77937463 United States 02/22/2020 03:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Container shipping from Chinese ports has collapsed since the outbreak of coronavirus and has yet to show any sign of recovery, threatening chaos for manufacturing supply lines and the broader structure of global trade. Almost half of the planned sailings on the route from Asia to North Europe have been cancelled over the last four weeks. A parallel drama is unfolding on routes from the Pacific Rim to the US and Latin America. Quoting: Jesus Wept Lars Jensen from SeaIntelligence in Copenhagen said the loss of traffic is running at 300,000 containers a week. This will cause a logistical crunch in Europe in early March even if the epidemic is brought under control quickly. “The dominoes are toppling through the whole chain. When ships don’t leave port in China, they don’t stop to pick up cargo in Hong Kong, Saigon, or Singapore either. Freight rates are in free fall,” he said.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76767072 Canada 02/22/2020 03:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I for one am will endure a little pain to watch these companies and people who have gotten rich by fucking over Americans either on the vine. Time to pay the piper for letting the US become so dependent on 12 year old kids being tortured to make cheap shit. Make it at home, by Made In America. I don't think you properly understand the reality of that 'little pain' you referred to. This is going to end the modern economy. Make it at home? Do you think these things CAN even be built quick enough to provide any sort of meaning alternative, let alone whether or not they WILL be replaced. At what wages? With what capital? This is done. People are definitely not grasping that their entire way of life will soon be over. This is going to cause the kind of pain and suffering not seen since WW2, and probably sustain for a lot longer in terms of famine, death, and inability to support family. People can not wrap their heads around what is happening. This will be extremely difficult.. Plus the huge fact that people are largely weak and pus*ies today compared to back in ww2. Very weak society with everything handed to them and always offended by everything lol. |

Sooner or later it always implode. It´s such a stupid system. Instead of competing, nations should cooperate financially/economically. Now markets control nations and that always leads to doom. If we cooperated we could create an economy that would benefit everyone. But the major banks don´t want that since they would not be needed and their fraud on humanity would be exposed. |

You may wish to actually READ THE LABELS on that tray of Tyson Chicken you buy, because they clearly read that no antibiotics or growth hormones are used and Tyson is the world's SECOND LARGEST processor of Chicken, Beef and Pork. And, they are the largest exporter of US Beef. Know what that means? As their exports drop off, domestic Beef prices [actually all three of the meats above] should drop and a T-Bone steak will cost what it did When Andy was boning Helen Crump in Mayberry.

Enjoy your Soylent and Almost-Burgers! You proved? The only thing you've proven is your moral character. You said, "I proved that the world's second largest processor of Chicken, Beef and Pork does not produce meats that are "hormone and antibiotic laced nasties". Direct from Tyson website: "We buy livestock for our beef and pork plants from independent farmers and ranchers and expect them to raise their animals responsibly. In accordance with federal law, we prohibit the use of added hormones in hog production. "However, the federal government has recognized the role small amounts of hormones can have in making beef production more efficient, helping to keep beef affordable. Cattle farmers use small amounts of hormones to increase the rate of lean weight gain in animals, contributing to a sustainable food supply." So, did you lie, not know, or will you "deflect" by saying Tyson didn't do it, the farmers did? Nevermind. I'm not vegan or an animal rights "activist" unless you consider my refusal to buy meat that has been inhumanely raised "activism." I don't want to deprive you of your circus, your pork chops, or your dinner. Now go eat your chicken wings and calm down before you stroke out.
