This is the problem: Right now, you have many ships, some carrying not only about fifty thousand assembled imported cars, but also countless parts needed by assembly plants here in the US. Energy companies whine about "indentured slavery" to regulators while dockworkers are smart enough to know the Mercedes Benz they are unloading will be driven by a energy executive who directly turned his $40 electric bill to something that eclipses his Ford Truck payment, his cellphone bill and cable bill. Combined. The strike will soon be settled, everyone will eventually go home happy. But, something will be different. Yet another component turns green for the economic evil called Inflation. In the end, it is impossible to find a condom big enough to keep Texas from catching that one. Cheers.
