I didn't mean we should keep importing to keep people busy. I'm sure that whatever was coming through those ports was ordered by a large number of companies/individuals. Sure, if we were in a downturn it would slow but not come to a standstill. From this article "Even during the COVID nonsense, the supply chain did not experience THIS kind of sudden shut down."

It's not a downturn, it's a trade war, complete with effective blockade.

In the whole scheme it seemed like not the first problem to solve.
