Grocery store stocking levels during the Longshoreman strike 2024...

[MountainGirl]

not much in the way of food will be affected - for one thing - this strike has been in the talks for a year - the food importers know it - probably the largest stockpile of coffee beans is sitting in the US warehouses ....

as far as retail is concerned - gooood shape - Christmas has been here for months - same same with other winter oriented gear >>> retail won't be hurt until Spring 2025 is needed

the Big Story will be the manufacturing layoffs - HOW SOON? - HOW BIG? >>> affect the election???

Strike paused till January 15th.

I have heard chatter of people back to hoarding toilet paper.

Paper products like TP, paper towels, fem high-jean products (or Tim Walz products, just sayin') are on the 500 mile rule of thumb. If it has to be moved more than 500 miles, then shipping will kill the profit margins. So yea, they are not shipping TP through the ports, yet people go nuts over that.

Im in rural IL, corn cobs are plentiful!

one of the largest TP mfg plants in the country is in the Joilet area - the others are scattered around with a bunch of tissue plants in Central WI >>> won't be any needs for cob burn any time soon ....

Apparently, some missed my PSA on conserving TP.

One sheet of TP butt wipe procedure. Your welcome!!

The chatter is right. The strike got cancelled up all the toilet paper is gone up at Foat Wurth. lol That should boost the sale of Huggies baby wipes.
