We no longer do the Christmas tree/gifts thing anymore. We buy what is NEEDED… that’s it.

[georgecook]

I dare the government to step in. they won't though as they are more concerned about the election then the U.S. citizens.

[GuyHickok]

Now experts have already said that this won't interfere with Holiday shopping. Yeah, right. Like someone just said, we ain't got no money for the holidays. Hopefully we will have food to eat.

The U.S. Government needs to keep their grubby cabbage collectors out of it.

So this is what the passage of time is in Bidenomics🤔

My husband is a truck driver for port authority in savannah. Hes our only income. Please get this deal done. Im so nervous about this.

I don’t have the extra money to buy gifts this year anyway. 😢 I might give out chocolate chip cookies with fake chocolate chips. That would be real nice…… 😢

Yes the government (taxpayers money)will be used for pay the extortion fees just like the pharmaceutical industry, automakers, railroads, teachers unions, and now the dockworkers want their cut of the pie!I have an idea there are plenty of illegals here that would love to have one of those high paid jobs with awesome benefits, and I bet they will do a better job much cheaper!

As an Ila member they are forgetting that after the 1st of oct east coast will picket the west coast and lock out any cargo being diverted

Feds pull interest rates down…major shipping port shuts down directly after….price of everything will go right back up. This place is joke.

The ports and management gave their employees a 50 month salary bonus for working through the pandemic and gave the union employees a pat on the back. The ports, steamship lines, and brokers made billion from 2019-2023 and laughed at the rank and file ILA members.

Joe Biden will not get involved excellent. Union strong power to collective bargaining. If everyone was a union worker they would be very little poor people because you wages would be higher i know i was a union worker for 40years. And always made fantastic wages and heath care and benefits Go Union strong

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.

Guess we're cancelling Christmas this year ...

[Patrick-yhyd]

Look at the cheap Chinese crap at Walmart. They have these 2 foot foam toy soldiers at the entrance? Those are garbage. Must make 50 cents to make. Boeing strike, this strike means more inflation.

[nixic_]

Why would they say anything but that they support the strike?

[lewisvogel]

If the ports shut down, European markets will suffer just as badly.

[amykelley]

Didnt this almost happen last year too?

[rickhayes-ohzm]

china isn't on the east side. China will supply if you can afford it

[googleuser]

So what.
Inflation already cancelled Christmas.
