From Maine to Texas, 45,000 U.S. dockworkers went on strike at 36 east coast ports yesterday for the first time since 1977. The dockworkers standoff is over better pay and the threat of automation taking their jobs. This East Coast port strike is leaving imports like cars, furniture, alcohol and yes toys from being released into the country. The Toy Association was so concerned about this strike, they sent a letter to the White House urging the current administration to intervene. Fortunately however, Market Watch is reporting that the toy companies Mattel (and Hasbro) were prepared, and not only organized…
We have the Power! 
@sketchyskeletor my homeowners just went up $900 a year. I mean I make good money but it’s  literally shrinking since every single thing has gone up.
Yup, mine would be minimal if it wasn't for the toys!@sketchyskeletor my homeowners just went up $900 a year. I mean I make good money but it’s  literally shrinking since every single thing has gone up.

ours just renewed last month and almost went up a grand, then the last two weeks everyone found out that the city redid everyones home value for property taxes (with out doing surveys of properties) and everyone’s value has went up 40-50%. Ours was 49%. Then these assholes want us to vote in November and approve all their shit, because they cant budget shit.

@banthafett my property taxes get reassessed next month, I’m dreading it. But everyone keeps saying materials have gone up and home values in my eyes aren’t real ever since Covid. Everyone is full of shit and just make things up on the fly. My neighbor has the same size and style house as mine yet he pays $1200 less a year than I do. I would love to know when the market value comes down(just a matter of when) are they still going to charge us these ridiculous numbers?
