I'm not seeing how an empty port confirms larger scenarios.

This strike was known for months in advance when negotiations broke down. Railroads and truckers were aware that there would be no product to be moved and plans were made in advance to avoid mass confusion. Clearing out the ports was required to make room for the eventual flood of product when the strike is over and ships are unloaded en mass. US and American ports both still eist today and they are owned by a Port Authority but controlled usually by the Coast Guard. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and this is one of those times.

This seems unreal, to view a five minute drive like this, just one day after the strike starts, and not to see a log jam bottle neck rats nest situation… or any anger… or any blockades… just peacefully cleared out and a couple people with signs along the road for effect. I am inclined to agree with you and give this some serious thought - like what next? Seriously, being set free, this will be the part that takes some real work, LFG 💪💪💪
