I’m an idiot and don’t know where to begin, but do any of y’all big brain babies have insight for any organization, groups, educational communities focused on advancing progressive ideas/policies in and around NYC?

Be kind, I am hard rocking and just looking for some direction to get involved.

so far as I can tell, every incumbent party across the globe that was in power during the covid / inflationary period was ousted. And, interestingly enough, the Democrats outperformed other incumbent parties substantially. This is great support for the realist camp!

Given these developments, there is an urgent need to reassess how nations engage in global trade. The old models of globalization, centered on open markets and economic interdependence, must evolve. A new approach should balance the advantages of global commerce with protecting national interests, ensuring economic security alongside prosperity.

In this complex geopolitical landscape, the simplistic view of a “flat world” has been replaced by a nuanced understanding of global trade dynamics, where strategic interests and national security play as significant a role as economic incentives. The challenge now lies in crafting policies that navigate this intricate balance, ensuring economic growth does not come at the expense of national security.

Import volumes at major U.S. container ports are projected to be higher than previously expected for the remainder of the year as retailers grapple with the looming threat of another East Coast/Gulf Coast port strike and anticipated tariff increases under President-elect Donald Trump, according to the latest Global Port Tracker report from the National Retail Federation.

“October’s strike lasted only three days, but there’s the potential for a longer strike if a new labor contract is not reached after the contract extension runs out in mid-January,” warned Jonathan Gold, NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy. This uncertainty has prompted retailers to take preemptive action, including expediting cargo shipments and redirecting them to West Coast ports to mitigate potential disruptions.

The International Longshoremen’s Association’s brief October strike at East and Gulf Coast ports ended with a tentative agreement for a wage increase and contract extension until January 15. Formal negotiations are set to resume next week, with the industry watching closely.

Donigian warns that industries particularly vulnerable to these anticipated changes include electronics, automotive, retail, and pharmaceuticals, with each sector facing unique challenges. Electronics and technology firms may face slow and costly production shifts due to their complex global sourcing needs, while the automotive industry, heavily reliant on global parts suppliers, could experience significant cost increases and delays. Retail and consumer goods sectors also might see impacts on consumer prices and inventory levels. Lastly, pharmaceutical and medical device companies could struggle with regulatory standards and quality control when relocating production.

In response, companies may be compelled to pivot their supply networks, potentially shifting production closer to North America or even repatriating manufacturing to the United States.

RFK’s whole mission of making food healthy again is totally contradictory to the GOP which is anti any form of regulation

The Trudeau Liberals were able to hold on to a minority government in the last election in August 2021 when inflation was rapidly climbing (although they will surely be annihilated in the next election in 2025)

If, at some point in the next year, RFK throws a public bitch fit or makes critical comments to the press about Trump sidelining him, Trump going full unhinged dumbass about it would slightly ease the pain of a second term. Would love to see MAGA turn against that fucking loser. The amount of damage he’s done to the conservative mind in the last year is actually impressive. Fixation on seed oils, outright denial of vaccine efficacy, fluoride in water turning us hard-rocking etc. He’s probably the political figure I want to see embarrassed and disregarded the most.
