Shippers Find New Supply-Chain Hurdles at Alternate Ports Unsurprisingly it's not as easy as "just go to another port" - turns out there aren't enough trucks or people working those ports or infrastructure to take the deliveries. Exerpts from the Article posted:When Flexport Inc. learned in the past month that an ocean carrier planned to shift cargo from the congested operations at the Port of Los Angeles to little Port Hueneme some 80 miles up the California coast, the freight forwarder found that trucking companies weren’t ready to go along with the changing direction of the imports.

Maybe just-in-time manufacturing should be revisited. Maybe it’s time for a broader industrial policy push to build national capacity in certain components. Maybe the U.S. needs a strategic stockpile of computer chips. It certainly seems like investing more in port infrastructure is worthwhile. And that it’s time to pay truckers a living wage and examine the absurd conditions they operate under. solid rational thinking, let's see how he follows it up quote:But in the short term it’s hard to identify a more basic solution to America’s supply chain crisis — and the inflation it is feeding — than bringing in military trucks and the GIs to drive them. lmao Gorson has issued a correction as of 12:44 on Oct 26, 2021 |

Gorson posted:and let's assume it actually happens, how long before capital decides they like the free labor and that temporary solution becomes permanent? Imo this is the most obvious and ready thing to happen. The pattern for crashes is that the tax payer bails out the capitalists, so capitalists will start pillaging the government of its labor force just like they pillaged all the money during the housing market crisis. Now, that labor force really only exists in the military and emergency sector. They are going to start using the soldiers and FEMA to patch holes in the labor force. However, it does create a situation where this labor can't be used for its intended purpose without risking domestic stoppages. For the military, that means they won't have the resources for the extended cold war they keep trying to prosecute, and any climate catastrophes will be exacerbated because they don't have anyone left to man shovels and trucks.

Note that they're only talking about the national guard in this situation. There's still active duty and reserves to carry on our cold war-esque posturing. NG is state level reserves. The regular reserves are federal and a separate entity from the NG. And active duty does nothing but wait around for the next war to start, only rarely being used for poo poo the NG does, typically when hit locally with natural disasters like hurricanes. Active doesn't traipse around doing NG poo poo. If they need people to man trucks and shovels, they have them, but they could also open the backdoor draft and start tapping judges to offer "military or prison" again. Drug possession? Petty theft? Assault? How about 2 years active duty and it's dropped from your record? Because that poo poo happened during the first few years of Iraq/Afghanistan. They could also lower physical standards and take fat Bubbas from Arkansas or Texas, or drop the asvab test score minimum (ex: McNamara's morons). The military will always have bodies, even if they have to cheat their standards to do it.

i am harry posted:I had friends during the last years of high school who joined up because of this. Never saw them again. Yep. That poo poo happened in the shadows. It was happening before the the Iraq invasion on a smaller scale, but picked up speed after the military realized it needed more bodies for occupying Iraq for most of a decade. I met a few guys on active duty that were offered the option. One was caught hauling pounds of weed, he enlisted for 4 years to dodge prison. On the plus side, assuming they rode out their contracts and got an honorable discharge, they have a pile of benefits to use. Not much of a carrot though, when you stand a significantly higher chance of dying in a foreign desert.

Pretty much the entire point of boot camps is to break individual personalities in favor of groupthink. Sure, you learn a variety of skills in boot, but the bigger thing is breaking everyone down to fit the mold of a "good" troop.

Turns out most people don't really like killing other people so it's pretty important to turn the other side into not-people mentally.
