Frens Stock Up Before October 1st - The Great Awakening

posted 71 days ago by MathDoesntAddUp 71 days ago by MathDoesntAddUp +239 / -0

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 did some sleuthing and found this:

What kind of goods are shipped from longshoreman on the east coast?

Billions of dollars worth of imported goods, from cars and light trucks to electronics to food, clothing, jewelry and agricultural products come into the U.S. through East Coast and Gulf Coast ports.

Gold said a strike also has the potential to disrupt retailers stocking up for the holiday season, as well as manufacturers and farmers relying on raw materials to keep operations moving.

“For retailers, that means holiday shipments might not arrive on time. Manufacturers might not receive parts, materials and supplies needed for production, which will lead to assembly lines shutting down. And farmers won’t be able to get their products to overseas markets, which could lead to lost sales,” Gold said.

Major ports such as Savannah, Georgia, and Houston bring in tons of materials for U.S. manufacturers, such as auto parts, heavy machinery, steel, lumber and other goods.
