It could also affect oil and other things coming in

I think, if they go on strike, that affects all of us in the way of artificial slow down in supply of everything meaning temporary higher inflation until a a labor deal is met. It appears that they haven't been on strike in almost 50 years.

I say get these folks a deal and keep them working. These folks working at our docks work hard and deserve a fair negotiation.

It's been planned to start October 1st for a long time and is expected to last at least a month. Obviously all products coming from and going to Europe, Africa, and Latin America will see supply shocks, delivery delays, and massive inflation. All business that depend on those products will not be able to operate correctly and will likely experience layoffs.

First of all, why don't you explain what you are talking about? What is the back story? 🤔

The longshoreman are going to strike it should be major news, but there’s too much going on politically

Ports from Texas all the way up the East Coast to Maine

Cause it sounded at first like air strikes or something. I get the meaning now. There is enough trouble just getting trucks across the country. This would be bad if it were to happen. Ships wouldn't get loaded or unloaded and nothing would move. Store shelves could go bare. Gas would run out at gas stations.

A strike at major ports can significantly disrupt travel plans. Here's how it might affect you:

1. Flight Disruptions: Delays in fuel deliveries could affect flights, causing cancellations or rescheduling.
2. Supply Shortages: Limited import of goods like oil can lead to shortages, affecting transportation and prices.
3. Accommodation Costs: Prices may rise if supply issues impact operating costs for hotels and Airbnb properties.

Planning ahead, staying flexible, and keeping updated with news can help mitigate these challenges. Safe travels! 🌍✨
