37. I DO REMEMBER the port explosion during Biden's first year

When the ships were so numerous they couldn’t get into port to unload.

I kept the Reich-wing emails I got back then blaming “…the Biden policies”, as if supply chain logistics are the responsibility of the federal government.

They also jumped on California for not allowing trucks that were not in compliance with California noise and emissions regulations into the unloading docks - even though 92% of trucks serving the port WERE in compliance.

And the trucks that were not in compliance - still had YEARS to do so.

Kick. Fortune Magazine called it a "precipitous drop". bronxiteforever Apr 27 #8

Just wondering if they gave a percentage. "Precipitous" these days can mean anything from 10% to 99%. TheRickles Apr 27 #13

Read this very thread. 44% on top of 22% is precipitous. . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #16

Yes it is. Thanks. TheRickles Apr 27 #17

Actually "they" have every right to read everything on DU. Assume that they are. erronis Apr 27 #24

They have a right to read, but not to collect info & track. I assume they are doing so, but I have no facts on that. .nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #25

I've worked in the web collection business. Everything that is collected is stored and cataloged. erronis Apr 27 #26

There are no rules for ordinary usage and storage. Read corporations. But US govt can't track w/o warrant Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #28

I believe you're looking at this from a "comm" perspective - capturing communications traffic. erronis Apr 27 #32

Web scraping, sure. But tracking cookies IS comms and I think that is the kind of thing prohibited to govt. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #33

But as far as what we post on DU (or elsewhere), just be careful the web scrapers can't access it. erronis Apr 27 #34

As to photos, one thing to do is to put it up on a screen at full resolution and use screen capture. Another way Bernardo de La Paz Apr 27 #27
