It takes at least a month to ship things from China to the US. I've got a post in my history going over the math.

If the ports are empty now, that means ships stopped sailing a month ago. If they sail today, they'll be here mid to late June. If none have sailed in-between, it's going to be a while before any do. And I'm not sure any ships will be sailing soon because no deals have been reached.

Lots of companies bought extra supply in the months leading up to Lie-beration Day, so they can hold for a bit. The only question is how long will they, compared to how long Chinese shipping will resume?

Clearly if the Founders didn't want ~~SCOTUS~~ the President to be given an ~~RV~~ airplane, they would have said as much!

So much of what the courts are ruling Trump can't do could simply be legalized by Congress.

Almost as if the GOP wants to treat Trump like a king, and cry about it when the courts don't acquiesce.

Or they're a bunch of cowardly bitches who don't want to take the blame for doing the unpopular things they actually want done, and are happy to let Trump be the face of shitty GOP policy.

Or, most likely... Both.

I didn't mean Trump wanted Leo.

I meant he has so destroyed the international standing of the US that the College of Cardinals don't see American influence as being an issue any longer.

So Trump was responsible for Pope Leo, just not in the way he wants to be.

I've said Trump was responsible before.

So if the cardinals had issues with American dominance before, and now they don't, there's really only one conclusion we can draw from that...

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Yeah, you can't say that a "religious resurgence" is happening by only counting one religion. Are there more Buddhists in the West? More Muslims? More Hindus? More Pastafarians?

Because I think Axios is missing, intentionally or not, the bigger reason: the religious right tells men they should be in control. Young men who feel like they aren't are receptive to that messaging.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up a while back.

It's 11,631 km from Shenzen to Los Angeles. That's about 6280 nautical miles.

The average container ship speed is 16-25 knots. Let's split the difference and call it 20.

6280 nm / 20 kn = 314 hours

That's a little over 13 days just to cross the Pacific, assuming a steady course and no issues. Add in time to load the ship in China and unload it in LA, and you can see why the most-cited estimates are three to four weeks for cross-Pacific shipping.

If no ships have arrived from China in the past few days, that means it was a month ago (hey, anyone remember "Liberation Day" on April 2?) that ships stopped sailing. And that means it will be at least another month before any more arrive, assuming they leave today.

Trump voters have really fucked over the US.

It's the Google Images Search button, since that was a quick screenshot from my phone.

And yet, if they ever did release it, you can bet all three companies would C&D it.

Also "give my employees paid time at home while business is slow" sounds exactly like the kind of magnanimity that Elon lacks.

It sounds like they may not have a choice in that matter soon enough.
