You sure do not hear much about it, but it looks like the nations shipping ports east coast and gulf coast will shut down in 30 hours. There is no possibility of an agreement and Biden sez he will NOT use his authority to implement an 80 day cooling off period because he supports the Union.

Stuff runs out pretty quick in the super market , days not weeks

We make toilet paper here. We don't import it.

Name something you get from your supermarket that's brought in via containers....

I can think of: Bananas.

Vast majority of supermarket stuff is domestic and moved via trucks, not boats

Also this is a national security issue, they should not be allowed to strike

“Biden sez will not use his authority…”

That’s because he isn’t in charge.

Things that matter.

Medication- criminal it comes from China

Manufacturing will be hit due to Asia, mainly, suppliers. Auto, Aviation, and others will come to a stop.

Tech companies gonna feel it bigly

Domestic wineries profit.

Doesn’t matter. In any crisis, people make a run on bread, TP, and bottled water…….

nope. Union strikes . 2 minutes later, President Biden orders them back to work due to national security. Negotiations continue

Unions are a scourge on society. They do nothing but promote laziness in the workplace.
