Seattle port commissioner Ryan Calkins described the decline in activity as "a stark reminder" of the impact of tariffs.

Several port authorities have observed a similar drop in cargo volumes over the past few weeks, warning that such a decline could have significant and adverse effects on consumers—who may face rising prices and limited product availability—as well as the supply chain-linked sectors of the U.S. economy.

    The empty shelves are coming.

    And the worst is that if they cancelled all tariffs it would still take well over a month for ships to arrive again.

    “North Korea West” sounds not that bad, I guess. Have US Borders agents shot US citizens trying to escape to Canada, yet ? I’m going to guess by 2026 that will be a regular occurrence.

    It will be if you try to escape the USA they will capture you and send you to El Salvador slave colony. That sounds about how things will be in about 9 months.

      By that time, we’ll need manual labor. So instead of deporting your ass, you’ll just get sent to the mines or fields. No real factory jobs lol. Trump is an idiot

        First wave is neurodivergent and disabled to death outside.

        Second wave is filling labor back up with the remaining minorities and anyone not following social order they create.
