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.
I've been talking to him.
He said that during covid, they lost 100 men. He said that one of the CEOs took home almost a billion dollars in bonuses.
He said that if the strike goes on for a week, it will take until mid-November to catch up, and if it goes on for two weeks, then it will take until March 2025 to catch up. If it goes on for a month, then the ports will not be caught up until around 2026.
The way he is talking though, in 18 days, this country will come to a stand-still.
Is there any talk of an ILWU support shut down?
Not that I am aware of.
