    @latimes reporter @RonWLATimes wrote a compelling story about what it's like on those cargo ships. It's bad. The workers can't get off for months. Little contact with their families. Huge emotional toll.https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-10-17/port-la-supply-chain-unvaccinated-sailors-stuck-on-cargo-ships …

        Their unions and charity groups describe exhaustion, despair, suicide and violence at sea, including at least one alleged murder on a cargo ship headed to Los Angeles. The young worker pictured said: “It’s hard for me. I just hope my family understands why I’m not home yet.”

        The contract for cargo ship sailors spells out they can't sail longer than 11 mos w/out a solid month off. Many workers have been stuck onboard longer & aren't allowed off the ships. NEVER. No going to grab some food or GET A DAMN VACCINE, which is why they're stuck on the ship.

        Yep, just like our military stationed on aircraft carriers for months at a time.

        Actually, not at all like that. These cargo ship sailors aren't allowed off their ships. NEVER. No going to grab some food or GET A DAMN VACCINE, which is why they're stuck on the ship. Catch 22. Little or no phone/internet. NO FAMILY CONTACT!
