I think 4 weeks is enough time for people to get laid off, stores to start to run out of items and prices to increase. Truckers are the 1st to go. Look at the numbers UPS is firing, some is the slow down in the economy but some is planning for the strike effect.

Remember American companies have embraced Just In Time inventory which the port strike will cause massive issues. Some companies have stock piled inventory but how much is enough? 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks supply? Where is this stored, with Just In Time companies do not need large warehouses.

Forget European cars, or their prices are going up if shipped to Canada and moved South. Added costs and time delays…. Time is money!

This is the stupidest move Biden could have made unless it is payback for what the Democrats did to him. Best part, the effects start to hit just before the election and very had to cover this issue up or blame on Trump!

You raise good points, but I don’t see it being an issue before the election.

You raise good points, but as mentioned before I don’t think it will be an election altering event..
