Cost us a minimum $5 million a day.Demand side shock during COVID.There was more demand.If this goes longer than a week we will be in crisis. We are so far behind w/ technology in our ports and infrastructure.You can automate a lot of that port and the system.The workers are saying we won’t stand for it.There are 85,000 workers.This is not a good thing at all and I don’t think the government will get involved at all.Port workers..they vote too.So this is a big deal happening right before a big presidential election.Who is the boogyman that the ILA is negotiation with?Is it the companies that own the ports?Who pays these guys?Port Authority which is a public organization.Not many ports are privately owned.These workers have the upper hand here.Where is the media on this?There is total and complete devastation and the MSM isn’t covering it.
