I got word from my cousin, who is a longshoreman. On October 1st, longshoremen will be shutting down all East Coast ports from Texas to Maine. Nothing will be offloaded from the ships coming into these ports.
While some goods may trickle in from the West Coast, you can expect prices of those goods to double, possibly triple.
The rising cost of goods will be blamed on the Biden/Harris regime. This could propel Trump even further. My cousin believes that this strike could last a month or more because no one is budging.
Stay safe frens.
So, if you're on the West Coast, all good?
Seems so. Pray for those of us on the EC.
Prayer is a powerful weapon of warfare against the enemy and his schemes. If we pray, we need only stand and see that the lord is good.
Will do; thanks for the heads up.
No. While ships continue unloading on the West Coast, this is a nationwide problem. Shortages on the East Coast will effect the whole country, and prices will soar.
Why sell their goods to those on the West Coast, if they can sell it for 4x the amount (or whatever number you like) to someone on the East Coast?
I'm pretty sure it will screw things up for the entire country, if it happens.
Whatever happened to the railroad strikers that Biden made take to arbitration? That was a month ago, IIRC.
Didn't they come to an agreement?
It doesn't look like it's settled yet. This article is from August 24, the latest I found: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cirb-decision-railway-dispute-1.7304194
Except for the part about being on the west coast...
It ain't that bad, at least where I'm at :D
West Coast longshoreworkers could go out in solidarity.
