The port strike can also be understood as a continuation of US inflation, because the slowest/most stubborn link in inflation is wage inflation.

The Democratic Party wants to introduce non-immigrants to solve the inflation problem, but non-immigrants can only work illegally and cannot enter jobs such as those at the docks that require qualifications.

The port business is directly related to imports and exports. In terms of US dollars, the imports and exports of the United States are growing. This also provides an internal driving force for wage increases.

From a long-term perspective, this is still a typical case of the virtual economy squeezing out the real economy. As overall wages continue to rise, the US real economy is losing its competitiveness.

I guess by the time a certain mobile phone is built, it will cost $10 to tighten a screw. By then, you can guarantee that the American manufacturing industry will be completely wiped out.
