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.
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
Good thing I quit eating that mess.
