When former President Donald Trump pushed to make America self-reliant, globalist Democrats and their cohorts in the fake news media twisted the narrative to “isolationism.” But critics of economic independence avoid pesky facts about foreign corporations dictating the cost of goods in every U.S. community.
The unchecked inflation working families are struggling through in 2021 is the result of decades of presidential surrender, starting with disgraced ex-President Bill Clinton. The so-called global markets movement was nothing more than a bending of the knee to foreign powers and corporations. Or, as many are realizing today, America Last policies.
With Democrats raising taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations, they literally drove manufacturing plants overseas. China didn’t employ any special trickery to siphon off our companies and jobs. Democrats handed them over with a pretty bow on top. But coal-fired manufacturing plants in China and India are just the tip of the spear. With so many goods and materials coming from other countries, the large corporations in those regions now hold sway over what American consumers pay. One recent example that should have working families very concerned involves logistics.
U.S. ports are currently experiencing a massive logjam because they lack the truck drivers and other transportation infrastructure to unload containers filled with imports. Those containers are what some might consider a hidden cost in transporting goods and materials. Much like diesel fuel hikes and shutting down oil pipelines causes prices to rise, container companies are now able to increase prices, and there’s little Americans can do about it.
A reported six foreign corporations control upwards of 70 percent of all container capacity and none of the 10 largest outfits are in the U.S. According to recent reports from the Wall Street Journal and others, foreign corporations recently jacked up the price of container capacity at least four times the standard rate.
“A few years ago, we would get a half-dozen competitive freight offers from shipping companies within a couple of hours,” Mark Murray, owner of North Carolina’s DeSales Trading Co., reportedly said. “Now it’s a couple of days to get an offer from one of the big boys, you have to pay crazy freight rates and your shipment is months late. Our hands are tied.”
The world’s largest container corporations include Maersk Line (Denmark), Mediterranean Shipping Company (Switzerland), CMA CGM (France), COSCO (China), Hapag-Lloyd (Germany), Ocean Network Express (Japan), and rounding out the top 10 are outfits in South Korea, Israel, and a pair of outfits in Taiwan. Some rank America’s largest container company at 23rd.
Since the pandemic began winding down, foreign CEOs decided to crank up the cost from an industry-standard $3,000 per container use to nearly $10,000. Companies desperate to move their goods and materials are reportedly yielding to extortion, paying nearly $20,000 in some cases.
Although the U.S. typically sees approximately 11 million containers imported each year, ports such as Savannah, Long Beach, and Newark appear to be on a record-setting pace that will likely exceed 12 million. Foreign corporations will jack up the costs of everything inside those containers until America becomes self-reliant.
Everything BiteMe and his Regime touch turns to crap, so they must like the smell and texture, as they continue producing giga-tons of it?
He is coming down with a deadly strain of gitmo flu 100% deadly and has been spreading it to the rest of Wana b untouchables and not one option for the mass spreading it is causing making COVID-19 a joke of a pandemic death rates will support the severity the real pandemic going around greedy bastards deserve it all and more gitmo flu 2021 biggest killer and only traitors is catching it better than the real American people who love their country and the real president who loves us as much as we love him thank you president Donald J Trump
I have been saying this since the Clinton were in office! Was the beginning of the DEMOCRAT DESTROY AMERICA JOBS AND FUTURE!
And the politibians get rich, as planned. Harry Truman once said, “Show me a man who enters politics to get rich and I’ll show you a crook.” Now the word “man” needs to be replaced with “person”; look at Nancy Pelosl and Mad Maxine as well as Hillary Clinton.
The 3 Queens of CROOKS!!!!
We need to wake up before it is to late if it’s not already. We the people need to get the communist/marxist who hate this country and all it stands for out of our White House now and if we need to do it by force so be it. We have the right to be free and Christians. If you have read the Bible it says there is going to be a revolution well then let it begin. By keeping those containers out to sea this is the beginning of governmental starvation. They do intend to starve us out. If it comes to that if you have a gun you have meat as long as there is dirt we can plant the rest and save our seeds so we can plant the following years WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE WILL MAKE IT. We can starve them out. Get with it people it’s time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This insanity by progressive democrats and globalist rino’s goes much farther back than the Clinton’s; the roots of this began in earnest in the early seventies. Reagan, duped and forced into taking many rino’s into his cabinet, including ‘daddy Bush’, was in lock-stock march with the rapidly progressive left-leaning congress. Funny how money and control becomes the driving force for power and wealth- the emperors really do not care how you cloak this psychotic psychopathic lust to rule the world! Besides, these perverts enjoy parading around ‘naked’!
Every damned Democrat should be executed!
So this post wishing death on every Dem is OK, but mine excoriating a single Dem who committed treason gets censored? What happened to fairness?
HooRah…. A BIG ditto here!!!!
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When are Americans simply going to understand…that everything the left touches they destroy…
Politics, the principal problem, comes from the word “Poly,” meaning Many, and the word “Tics,” meaning Blood Suckers.
Lets face it, their palms itch when it comes to who they can screw over to get more, more, more in their pockets. The only care about the little people when it comes time to vote. May they all be damned to the pits of hell for their greed. My momma always told me she could tell if I was lying so I’d better not try it. Maybe more people should be able to have that ability. I know she did, and so did my butt!
Wall Street, The US ☭hamber Of ☭ommerce and ☭orporate Ameri☭a bribed ☭ongress to write the laws that made it legal to screw over America and allow the greatest transfer of jobs, wealth and intellectual property in modern history to an avowed enemy, Communist China, and others, making them the threat they are today.
☭ongress and ☭orporate America are the real enemy!
…And of course the MIC, DOD and Joint ☭hief’s are OK with this. They just asked for trillions to fight an enemy, Communist China, that ☭ongress and ☭orporate America created.
