The economic impact of the port worker strike

There are a lot of questions about what this strike means for consumers. Stephanie Johnson joins us in the studio after speaking with shoppers.

Most people cannot afford to stock up on supplies months ahead of time and 1000s of people are homeless without stores and jobs to go to in Florida and North Carolina. Why do this now?😢😢😢😢

[dkemp]

Why should we the people suffer from the corporations poor decisions

[justifiedpokemon]

This is one of those situations where we just had a bad hurricane. Still people without ways to leave their homes. Now a week later we have massive strikes at the ports, another potential system that may hit in the same area. This is not the time to complain about "I’m not making enough." Some people just lost everything and this will only make prices worse for everyone

Better start showing some serious love to your local farmers. They are going to be your local communities lifelines...Just saying. At this pace, it's going to be roasted Crow for Thanksgiving.

I went to my local BJ's yesterday. They usually have PALLETS full of the toilet paper my family likes. Yesterday, there were literally only 5 packs of it left at 5:30pm. Cornholio is going to be sad very soon!

Extortion is illegal in America. You can protest because you just got fired. To much greed
