smug lib: that's not socialism, there's a market!
Question:
What is the word you would use to describe the economic environment that exclusively worker co-ops would be competing in?
Answer:
???
The most likely turn of events this describes:
-
American businesses place an order and pay for it.
-
Goods placed in container by seller.
-
Buyer realizes tariffs make the order too expensive and tries to cancel it.
-
Seller agrees to a partial refund.
-
Seller believes return shipping will be more expense than it's worth and says they don't want it back.
-
Ship does similar calculus and dumps it.
These aren't temu or aliexpress orders going to consumers. Those get shipped by plane or from a local warehouse.
Economic success is when shippers throw products that your citizens want into the ocean because it is more profitable than delivering them.
Our soil isn't cleaner. We're actively gutting environmental protections because low lead-blood levels are "woke".
trees are gay. oil is the antidote to the woke mind virus. complaining about it your ever slipping standard of living is also gay. real men tip their landlords and thank them for the opportunity

Member how there was a 6 month+ lead time on industrial sized switchgear during covid that delayed numerous manufacturing projects? Imagine that but 100x worse and for years on end.
I distinctly remember industrial switchgears being so limited that brokering an entire 53’ semi truck to exclusively load up one (1) switchgear and haul ass across the entire country just for that one piece was not even given a second thought - it was obvious to do, something that would have been insane 5 years prior.
It didn’t matter how much money we offered, the switchgears simply did not exist to sell. Delayed that project for almost a year.
I hope our Chinese comrades look forward to their futures. I will be going down with the ship in the imperial core.
Honestly I'm getting sick of this cold war 2 shit, it's all so fucking tiring
had to look it up to figure out what the meant by 'ditching shipments mid voyage'
A staff member at a China-listed export company, who requested anonymity, said its US-bound container volume had plummeted from 40 to 50 containers a day to just three to six as a result of the new tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by the second Trump administration. It has increased tariffs by 104 per cent this year, taking the total impost to around 115 per cent. The new tariffs have triggered a backlash from Beijing and sent shock waves through global markets.
“We’ve halted all shipping plans from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia,” the employee said. “Every factory order is halted. Anything that hasn’t been loaded will be scrapped, and the cargo already at sea is being re-costed.”
One client had told the company it was
abandoning goods already on the water and giving them to the shipping company
[emphasis mine], as “no one will buy them after the tariffs are imposed”
Northrop Gundam for all neoclassical architecture sword austerity? This person cannot make sense for the life of them.
