Edifice of Trust

Note: After this podcast was scheduled for publication the longshoremen’s union (after meeting with members of the Biden administration) agreed to postpone their strike until after the election (surprise!). The also agreed to a 61.5% salary increase over six year. The primary sticking point is the automation of the port facilities. But my podcast might help you understand why the innovation and upgrading of port efficiency is so important.

A strike by the International Longshoremen’s Association on East Coast of the United States is creating shortages and rising prices as ships wait in the harbor to unload their goods. The Longshoremen are asking for a wage increase of 77% over six years and have rejected counteroffers of forty and then fifty percent. However in this podcast, the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, is going to look at another demand of the ILA, a freeze on automation of port services.

The Framers of the US Constitution conceived of a government that prevented the development of excessive power in any one individual or group. They created three branches of government with separate powers that acted as a check against the development of excessive power in any one branch. These checks and balances have frustrated the progressive left from implementing much of their agenda and they intend to change that. In this podcast the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles looks at how the left wants to change the nature of our democratic republic that has lasted almost 250 years.

This so-called presidential debate was not as consequential as Mr. Trump’s previous confrontation with Mr. Biden but there was still consequences. Here’s my take on the so-called debate.

Replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris has not really improved the options we voters have in the 2024 presidential elections. The campaign promises of Trump and Harris run the gamut from dopey to scary. Most Americans do not support their radical agendas. Come this November we must vote wisely to protect America. 

In this podcast the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, explains why he recommends a vote for divided government to keep these radical policies at bay.
