Looming dockworker strike would have major economic impact

A dockworker strike is threatening America's Atlantic ports, and if you're looking for a safe harbor, there may not be one. If the walkout goes on for more than a few days, consumers could start feeling the impact. Kris Van Cleave reports.

I realize they need to do something, but hurting the consumer shouldn’t be that something.

People might have to eat dog crap like my neighbor does. He did it last week on a triple double dare for 20 bucks from another neighbor. Looked like peanut butter, was wild to see someone actually eat it😮

If it does result in fewer imports, that’s a supply shift that is bad for American consumers, good for American businesses. What we’re told: these labor unions are hurting consumers!

It's time for we the people to call up the Armed forces and national guard to end the constant threats on our person and livelihood from the public traded Corporation and political parties
We the people are not responsible for how government employees and elected officials spend money or do their jobs because we the people paid income taxes
That 35 trillion dollar debt belongs to Congress and Wall Street financed it
That's between them not the people
Wall Street investors are ordinary citizens with no authority and their policies and procedures are not laws we do not have to comply
That debt is going to leave Wall Street investors and the political parties poor and isolated
We do not have to have any trials there's no presumption of it innocence
They blatantly and arrogantly did it in our face
It's doesn't change anything, they broke the law
They all are on record, social media, the news networks all publications
No presumption of innocence
We just have to hold them accountable

I stand in solidarity with my union brothers and sisters
