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.
Do you think people will suffer
Yeah... as the ILA president says in the video posted, everything that comes into America, comes in on ships... this could be the 10 days of darkness Q talks about as well... it would be pretty damn dark if people began running out of food and shit...
Bullshit, this isn't 10 days of darkness it's months to years to repair the supply chain once interrupted.
Due to the 60-day laws on the books a strike in early October would be quashed until December, having no effect on the election but would cripple the US before Trump was sworn in.
Exactly. It will be causing chaos all through Trump's administration, if it does happen.
Sometimes I think people aren't thinking things through very well.
Everyone should be praying that they come to a resolution as soon as possible instead of fantasizing that this will somehow damage Biden/Harris.
Unfortunately, this place is not immune to mass formation lunacy it seems. Even the allegedly awakened are sleeping deeply.
If the strike plays out it would not be an October surprise to help Trump but sabotage to the Trump Presidency and devastation to the survival of the Nation.
Did you watch the video? Did you see what the ILA president said? He said, yeah they can force us back to work, but instead of 30 containers being unloaded an hour, it will drop to 6-8. Then after those 60-90 days, then what?
People will suffer....but you're all for it. 😕
Did Democrats care when they fucked the country in 2019-2020? No? Why should we care if liberals starve? We've been telling mother fuckers for YEARS to stock up, to be prepared.
Besides, something like this will show people we need to start producing our own shit again.
We should care if anyone starves, no matter if they're liberals or not. Because we aren't horrible people. You realize that those starving people you don't care about includes children, right? They have no control over what their parents do.
And it's not only liberal families that will suffer. You can tell people over and over to stock up, but if they're struggling to put food on the table as it is, how are they going to stock up?
There are plenty of people right here, in this forum, who have been struggling since the pandemic. Some even before that.
Just based on observation....
...not many will be starving anytime soon ;p
Why should we care if human beings starve.
Did you approve of what the Democrats did in 2019-2020? If not, why are you using them as a measuring stick to compare yourself to?
Are you happy to be as despicable as they are, or do you hold yourself to higher standards?
If the pandemic and all the fallout afterwards with the supply chain didn't convince people that we needed to increase our own production, why would a labor strike do it?
90% of our food in the US is grown in the US
The United States imports a variety of foods, including:
Fruits and vegetables: The U.S. imports more than half of its fresh fruit and almost a third of its fresh vegetables. The import share of fruits increased from 50% to 60% between 2007 and 2021, and the import share of vegetables increased from 20% to 38%.
Seafood: Canada is the largest source of U.S. seafood imports, leading in lobster, crab, and whole fish imports.
Oils: Canada is the largest exporter of refined canola oil to the U.S..
The U.S. relies less on imports for unprocessed commodities like livestock, feed grains, and oilseeds.
That's about 15% of our overall food stocks. A 15% hit will still hurt.
Canola oil will shut down the fast food places. Good! kek
Then I say FUCK those port workers. This isn't Walmart. You are playing with peoples life's all bc you don't like your jop pay. Find another job you piece of shit
Who are you going to get to work those jobs, jackass? You are talking 10k plus longshoremen walking off the job from Maine to Texas.
I wouldn't mind if it happens, a lot of people need to learn self sufficiency and appreciation.
I've seen plenty of people right here on this message board talking about how they've been laid off for months and that they need jobs.
It's not like there is 0% unemployment out there.
Anyone. It's a desirable well paying low effort job.
