A friend called me and told me Walmart shelves here are bare… due to port striking.

I haven’t seen it yet here. But I did see that blowhard union boss talking about what he wants and demands. The suffering that’s going on in the SE right now and he’s going to shut ports down demanding a 70% raise for people who already make 100k+.
@KateATX yes… parts of NC are devastated. I was very lucky. We only got some much needed rain.

@NoGamesTolerated if any of the port workers in Wilmington and Moorehead NC are in the picket line right now I hope they’ve lost everything. For them not to be open at such a critical time is shameful.

I agree.
stay frosty.
stock up on TP
It is panic buying. Walmart has depots to pull from, and we make most of our own toilet paper.

The youtube channel "What's Going On With Shipping" which I follow religiously (he is a cornerstone of the OSINT community, talked to him many times) says it will take about a week of strikes before shelves stop being restocked, but the US makes most of our food, and the strike won't touch gas.

What it will do is run alot of factories into closing.

He estimates about a week worth of strikes. Right now it is more about the union making a point and wanting to strike than needing to strike, they've gotten pretty good offers.
@Motzu nah I don’t think it’s panic buying for most. Most buy groceries every week. They don’t want to run out of food. They have to eat. Not too many people here stock up. I personally have a good stock cause I know ‘anything’ could happen at anytime!
@NoGamesTolerated It's definately panic buying. It's a known phenomena. I've seen it every snowstorm with old people rushing out to buy food before it hits.
@Motzu I stand by my answer. I think I know a bit more than you do about the people here. Please move on. You’ve stated your opinion and I have mine. Done! Have a good day sir!

Get what you while you can it’s going to be a rough couple of months if this last longer than a week
@TSMa85 I’ve been sticking for years… I’m pretty good but thank you so much!
A lady in Shoprite said Costco's paper goods shelves were bare.
@MsSwan yeah
