Panic Buying has Already Started with First Day of Dockworkers Strike Closing Down Half of the U.S. Ports

With the United States already suffering major loss of lives and farmland due to Hurricane Helene, and as the war in the Middle East now escalates with Iran starting to bomb Israel today, perhaps the most significant news that affects you RIGHT NOW, is the first day, today, of the dockworkers strike in the eastern and southern United States that has now closed down HALF of the ports in the U.S. The strike at half of the nation's ports that started today will cost the U.S. economy about $5 billion a day. With stores and gas stations still closed in North Carolina and Tennessee due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, it is being reported that panic buying is now beginning in stores in other parts of the U.S. today. This is also going to affect my own store, Healthy Traditions, as we have two containers scheduled to arrive from Chile within the next 30 days, our world-class raw Andes Mountain honeys, and our Chilean Extra Virgin Olive oil, which we bring through the Port of Houston from Chile, in route to our warehouse in Texas. With more bad weather on the way that could affect the same areas still searching for survivors in the Appalachians, and with the war escalating not only in the Middle East, but also in Ukraine and potentially soon in the Pacific, with the very real possibility that there could be attacks on U.S. soil, you don't need me to warn you that NOW is the time to stock up on water and food and try to have an alternative energy source.
