Edit “Case Study 1: Politics and Supply Chain”

How Trump’s deglobalization policies hand How they Affect to Supply Chain.

Cheaper supplies elsewhere in the face of globalization has, possibly killed factory jobs while, at the same time Trump ran on the false hope that only he could bring these fobs back! Running on lies, but now, running out of time employers are red in the face at townhall meetings like the one I watch just last night (look up Elizabeth Warren) exclaimed loudly, ‘I have a plan that has to do with Green Energy and these out of work employees of….shook his head in disgust and asked Mrs. Warren if he could truly trust her words when Trumpp said what he said ad gad no way to back his words up! He didn’t even care to back up his words up. Cite Elizabeth Warren

‘So, in Brexit all of the integration with Japan, US, China, Brazil, and India cannot be toppedled in one day! (P. 229) It didn’t take a day to build the empires and to fatten the wallets of the politicians who now scream ‘look at the thieves! The foreigners who looks nothing like me! ‘They took our jobs!’www.youtube.com/watch

 

implications of Brexit for the UK economy. That didn’t work for the people but works for Trump who just may be re-elected on fear-mongering and over 1,000 bold-faced lies, (since his election 2years ago, and counting. Their displaced anger and ill-contempt for the foreigner has gotten these two countries in this huge mess that is Brexit and Donald Trump, and as I have learned in psychology class when people are angry they cannot think straight. So, instead they find someone to blame for their own complacency when all along this has been going on for over 30 years. (P. 227) Exacerbating mistrust in the systems created by politicians, who themselves have been regarded as increasingly self-serving and remote from the voters.’

Pandemics

Angelique Butler

What might have happened to the supply chain and why, from a large Ebola crisis?

In looking at the pandemic, or should I say near pandemic, of the Swine Flu outbreak of the year 2009 ‘one of the main problems for the industries would have been the spread of disease to drivers and other logistics staff ‘who could easily spread this very contagious dis-ease throughout the country and then it would have been unstoppable. They did good to stop the Swine Flu in its tracks by canceling sporting events and having people stay in instead of socializing.

 

Disruption to forms of transportation? Why and how?

With people dying in a pandemic of course this would affect transportation because there would be no one to drive the trucks, flying the planes, behind the wheel of a ship (whole crews would be wiped out). Also, if there is pandemics in certain countries and if we didn’t want it to spread there are definitely certain places that would have to be quarantined, like say if Bangkok, Thailand were in an Ebola pandemic would we not put them under quarantine and shut down the hundreds of manufacturing facilities? Because of this pandemic factory workers, bosses, CEO’s sick dead or dying. Unable to go in and get products because of quarantine the products would just sit in warehouses. So, just replace the floods which shut down manufacturing facilities in 2011, with Ebola.

Los Angela’s universities is now under quarantine. More than 1,000 students and staff are told are told to stay home if they are not vaccinated. 2 carriers came from international flights. Don’t ignore the warning to stay home if not vaccinated and stay off of public transportation or you will Be fined or prosecuted. If unvaccinated 90% would contract measles. This can be quite serious if it had been Ebola and it had circulated thr an area where Logistics were involved. Manufacturers would be shut down due to employees being ill and under quarantined. ‘In a statement on Friday, the 26th of April, 2019, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health described the number of health officer orders for quarantine as “dynamic.” (New York Times.” So, students and faculty were only released from quarantine if they showed proof of immunization against measles or had been tested by a lab and put forth the proof.

The Katrina Disaster

Angelique Butler

August 2005 80% of the urban area of New Orleans flooded, which was strangely below sea level. This is part of the reasons why.’Treme went under water while the neighboring French Quarter remained dry, said Karen Huff, head of the Black Historical Society of San Diego, the largest black historical preservation group in the U.S. ‘For a long time, there were land covenants that restricted the sale of property to people of African descent,’ she said. ‘Now we’re seeing a devastation of African-American culture.’ (Bowean 2005) Treme was one of the oldest neighborhoods where free blacks could finally by land to build on, partially because the lower land was less expensive, in the marshes of New Orleans. ‘Before Katrina hit the city had already been evacuated of around 500,000 people.’ (Manners-Bell, 2018 P.84)

 

FEMA was very slow to respond. Why? Were they just overwhelmed by the scale of this devastation? (Manners-Bell, 2018 P.84) Roads and bridges destroyed communication became nearly impossible because the phone lines were down.

 

Why couldn’t FEMA had predicted the devastation as Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes had? The government failed in its duties due low management skills and a weak distribution strategy resulting in an inept response to the crisis. On the other hand retailers have total visibility of their fully owned transportation network, they also have sufficient drivers and strong, coordinated management. Maybe the retailers need to take over for FEMA?

Thank You Letter

Angelique Butler

Thank you so much for your considering me for the Food Truck job. Unfortunately this past quarter has been the hardest yet, what with snow days and assignments non-stopping, I didn’t pass Microsoft Word 2, ouch. Hopefully, when I am in good standing with the school in the near future we can negotiate some kind of an agreement in working for the food bank/food truck. I do plan on continued volunteering for Nourish Food Truck because I truly enjoy being helpful to others.

Thanks again and I apologize for any inconvenience.

Discussion Post 3: My Export and the Country to Which I Am Going to Export

Angelique Butler

The 3 countries I explored for my export plan were Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Modifications were quite low as in in no language barriers, as well as having a high dependence on foreign trade. With all three countries there was a modern market with high levels of government services.
Now, the reason I chose Finland over Denmark and Iceland was because of their beautiful beaches. I could actually picture having a little sand hut there on the beach, selling my cowrie shells, necklaces, and bracelets. Building a storefront would be ideal for my company and exporting would be quite easy being that exports have gone up exponentially from 2013 at 1.1 to 2017 at 7.8. Economic growth has also gone up over the span of 2013-2017 going from-0.8 to 2.6. (
