Just as there were increasing signs of hope that a recession
the U.S. would escape
Longshoremen have just gone on strike which will soon lead
to food shortages on our plate
As goods shipped to us by ship can no longer be unloaded shelves
will become bare
And prices will sharply rise as the inflation beast near
sleeping comes roaring out of its lair
Perishable goods will waiting to be unloaded will start to
rot
And our harbors will look like the rush hour traffic turning
the 405 into a parking lot
Already estimates are coming in saying that the strike will
reduce the economy by upwards of 3 billion dollars away
Yet in trying to prevent the strike or cope with it Biden,
Commerce Secretary Raimondo and DOT Secretary Mayor Pete are MIA
Biden because he is the most pro union president in history
and does not want that distinction to be blemished
And Raimondo is probably preoccupied with prayers that next
Trump assassin will not fail and he will perish
And Buttigieg is still traumatized for failing to deal with
cargo ships’ turning the waters off L.A./Long Beach into a congested berthing
lot
This strike may not be solved by higher wages as the ILA has
become the new Luddites and bans on automation for unloading are being sought
Once again like a response to Helene, Biden has been on his
Delaware Beach
And Harris is in California with her elite wealthy donors for
more money to beseech
While Trump after visiting some of Helene’s killing
devastation
Is exposing the ILA to his condemnation
