It’s a perfect storm. Millions of people are suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and a major port strike is about to happen, meaning supplies will be at risk.
The hurricane has left over two million homes and businesses without power. At least 102 people are reported dead across six states. Over 200 people have had to be rescued by helicopter. It’s major.
President Biden said that the federal government has “given everything that we have.” Why does hen ever say that to Ukraine?
When resources are needed the most, they may not be there. Over 85,000 dockworkers representing International Longshoremen’s Association from Texas to Maine will strike on Tuesday due to failed wage negotiations. This will impact 36 ports and basically the entire eastern seaboard.
Oddly enough, while consumer products may be majorly affected, the union said that it will “continue to honor its century-plus pledge to handle all military cargo.” Your supplies may stop but war supplies won’t. Is that a relief?
