So what's the latest on the port strike - any panic buying yet?

Not really seeing a lot of reporting giving many specifics. Do we really need to start stocking up on stuff or is it all being blown out of proportion?

I had to settle for the large condoms instead of Magnum since all those were sold out. It's got me thinking now... if it can come to this, what else is possible?

I passed the Port of NO this morning. They had picket lines and stuff, but there wasn’t nearly as many people striking as I thought there would be. Maybe they’re taking shifts?

Why panic? Goods will still get into US through west coast ports. Could be more expensive as cost go up to move them to east coast by truck or air.?

I'm always late on things like that and wouldn't know how to use one.

One of my kids has them but I've been reluctant to ask how to use it and frankly, they look dangerous.
