How are you planning to survive the port strikes?

Buy your underwear and Christmas toys NOW?

It'll be interesting to see how it affects shipment of materiel to my in-flight projects. Good luck to everyone trying to finish stuff up before EOY.

That's a really good point -- I have hardware refresh and Win 11 rollout where I work, and this might put us seriously behind so I'll see how long this goes on. Technically, I can get by with very little.

I'm glad our shipping container left in July.

The only thing I am speeding up on is getting a new set of tires for the wife's car - her car needed it before winter, but I think it'll be next week instead.

I'm sure there will be shortages and inconviences, but frankly as I keep plenty of stuff on hand (even moreso due to Covid and its supply issues), I expect minimal impact.

I live in California.

The west coast dockworkers reached an agreement several months ago.
All will be fine here.
Perhaps west coast ports will receive even more business.

Christmas toys are likely already here and/or coming from China to west coast ports.

They're sheeple. What do you expect?

Well, it is supposedly manufactured in the US. Seems like a odd thing to wipe out......


Ahahahahaha, I made a terrible pun.

The port strike is off until January 15 to allow for more time for negotiations. I would have loved to have been in the room when that decision was made.
