Trump plans to get domestic production back up. The Dems call it a "stealth tax" on Chinese goods. We don't need Chinese goods. We were doing great in the 60's, 70's, and 80's with no Chinese goods stocked to the ceilings in Wal Mart.

She doesn't want to set the price for everything. But when it comes to something like food she wants to ensure the price doesn't rise faster than wages
They have been price gouging since COVID. Claiming costs far above any price impacts from the Pandemic. Governing officials purchasing departments say that is the going rate but do not actually see if the price increase is justified. Thus instead of say a 50% increase in costs they claim a 267% increase and no justification is given. The customer has been screwed over by big business because no one challenges them
I have actually eaten a few pb&j sandwiches the last couple of weeks ......single father ...as long as my daughter is eating better than me I'm fine with it .....what can I do??!?!
@digi. What a wonderful Father you are😁 I raised my ex husbands two daughters 10 years. The youngest one said,"Please marry Dad." "He can't cook." Dad was a boring meal planner. Same stuff over and over and she liked to eat. First words home from school.. "What's for supper"
Yup, and sellers of home are not helping so it’s more then corporations and investors it’s also our neighbors! For example my neighbor bought her house for 324k in 2020. She is selling it for 1,350,000. Is it worth that? No will it get sold, I hope not. If someone buys it, that means my new neighbor is an idiot. When a recession happens, and it’s bound to happen, they will have a difficult time.
Not only will prices skyrocket again, WE WILL HAVE SUPPLY SHORTAGES AS WELL! Sadly, those that see what's really going on on MANY fronts, have been warning people to stock up on sustainable supplies for quite awhile. But, too many ignored our warnings, and they're about to find out they're going to be going through some pretty hard times! 😢
Joe Biden is a Union man. I missed the part where he was working those union jobs. He’s been running for offices since 1970, he was the first Senator to endorse Jimmy Carter.
We need trade. We can’t make everything here. We like some things that come from other countries like fruit from Chile in the winter.

He was charged years ago for racketeering. His co-defendant who was supposed to plea guilty on a lesser charge to keep the case out of the media went missing after disagreeing. They found him decomposing in the trunk of a car in a New Jersey parking lot. They later dropped the charges on him. The same year the doj was accusing him of mob connections. He's a pos. Our ports are less efficient than 50% of the world. We need more automation to speed things up. These dock workers are adding unnecessary costs to our goods. They turned down a 50% pay increase already. Edit: his co-defendant was Lawrence Ricci. Incase anyone wanted to look it up.
totally we need to replace the dock workers with robotics. This is proof with the unions holding the country hostage. I'm an ER RN and these dock workers make more than I do yet it's not good enough.

We take care of the copier for a local ILA. When it breaks we are telling them we will fix it when they go back to work. After all the toner and parts are shipped from overseas through the port. Can't fix your machine with out those parts.

Labor unions were in fact sued for anticompetitive practices shortly after the Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890, but the US Supreme Court ruled that unions were exempt from the act. Later antitrust laws ("trust" in this context means "monopoly") specifically exempted unions (and other organizations, including Major League Baseball) from their provisions. Furthermore, a number of federal laws and court decisions in the early-to-mid-20th century strengthened unions' monopoly power over labor markets, including the Clayton Act, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and the Norris-La Guardia Act. The NLRA is the most important of these in the context of your question. It requires the Nat'l Labor Relations Board (or some labor commission) to certify an "exclusive bargaining agent" (a union) to represent a given "bargaining unit" (a group of workers who share a common employer and trade). This provision grants a monopoly privilege to the union that is duly certified to represent workers for any given employer. It's why, if you work for a port employer in, say, New York, you can't just start a new union to compete against the ILA there. The ILA is the legally certified bargaining agent and it possesses the exclusive right to represent dock workers there (unless and until it does something so corrupt that it gets decertified). The NLRA also requires employers to engage in collective bargaining with the certified union, and this empowers the union to win compensation and benefit settlements that are often far above competitive free-market rates. Also, union-friendly states force workers to join the certified union if one exists, which further strengthens unions' monopoly power. Right-to-work laws attenuate union power to some extent, as they give workers the freedom not to join the union. This makes it harder for unions to organize in right to work states, although some unions do exist, particularly with municipal employers like public schools and ports. Texas is a right to work state, but its schools and ports are unionized. The ILA, like other big unions, got itself certified as the bargaining agent for many different employers in many different states through a variety of tactics. Have those tactics included illegal activities like extortion, bribery, protection racketeering, assault and battery, election fraud, or other corrupt interactions with local politicians, port commissioners and workers? Well, numerous union officials have been accused of such tactics over the last 100 years and there have been a number of criminal convictions, but I certainly don't have any evidence that any ILA official has ever committed such crimes. Anyone, however, is free to watch the recent videos of Harold Daggett promising to cripple the American people with ILA's labor strike, and then form their own opinion of his character and tactics. Again, I have no evidence at all that he has ever crossed the line and done anything illegal, and I am certainly not suggesting that he has.

Truck drivers worked all through COVID, matter of fact the only time we get respect from the public is when the public absolutely needs us. We haven't shut down in a strike, we keep going. What makes a union worker more important than the rest of the country?
Have a little more faith in the country. If Trump doesn't win, you'll be upset for four years, but the Union will survive. If the nation were so fragile, as to depend on a single person, then it would fall no matter what. He's not a king, and he's certainly not God. Vote your conscience. Then, if your side does not win, trade your angst for prayer and support for the winner. This "us or them" mentality is what is destroying this country.
Save America VOTE DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA>>>... and again it was three on one why can'T they get this straight !!!!
It isn’t like both sides just looked at the time and were reminded their contracts were up. Why wasn’t this resolved prior to shutting down? The situation it is in was clearly on purpose.
It's happening right now. Things are being repaired or internet lines extended. The money wasn't for some big grand new project. It is to repair all the old stuff
He's a 💯 percent right and who suffers us the American citizens wake up people vote out all democrats and liberals and vote Republicans in the house and senate and trump well have it easier to get this country back on track
FJB has the authority to tell them to hold off on striking bc of the devastaion inflicted by Helene or else they'll all be fired & replaced with national guardsmen & some branches of the armed forces.
Even my husband who used to weld barges at the ports said that this strike is the most selfish thing he has ever seen and they already make a lot more than the average citizen. Said now they will just be replaced with, "squabs." Idk what that means but, it doesn't sound good
My husband almost lost his job trying to get the Union in at his job. They were successful and I supported him no matter what happened because I believed in the unions but this, this? This is a completely different beast and I do not support this 1 bit. It's hurting all of America, not a good look and that thing that is the head of the union only cares about himself, the workers are just too stupid to see it.😥
No you are wrong. I’m not a union guy and I’m mostly on team red but these guys are doing what every American should be doing. Holding out for better conditions. Are you telling me that working class people should bear the brunt of inflation while corps continue to push their earning and profit up? No way in hll does that make sense. Conditions are dwindling for most Americans and you are suggesting they accept that.
Accusing companies of price gouging when they have had to respond to the overwhelming increases the SHIPPING COMPANIES have inflicted on us. In 2019 it cost me $6000 to bring a container over from China. In 2022 it was $25,000 to bring the same size container of goods over. How about we start talking to the SHIPPING COMPANIES about what they are doing to our bottom line!!!
But they do because people will not hold them accountable. Instead you point the finger at the worker and blame them instead of the guys raking in the cash
Instead of the enormous pay and bones these CEO need to pay their employees better. These dock workers make 39.00 per hour. What they do is what makes our country run. Not the CEO....
You want fruit and vegetables in the winter and out of season. It has to come from somewhere as we have growing seasons and there are times you can't grow things.

Bought groceries this morning. Already prices are up again. It was senior 10% day but not many of us were filling up our carts. One lady just looked at me after looking at the prices of produce. I said to her, "I guess we are all going on a diet." She agreed and walked past the product putting nothing in her cart.
I picked up an entire strip loin for $6.30 /lb thanks to my 10% senior discount. That works out to a $4.70/lb savings for ribeye steaks vs the $11/lb at Sam's Club. nYou can save money if you are willing to put a little work in. You can buy a whole Top sirloin and cut it up for steaks, stew/chili meat and ground beef and pay around $4.50 a pound.
In Texas, a lot of people buy groceries at HEB which is a a large grocery store based out of San Antonio, TX. Their stores are only based across the state of Texas and stand hard against Walmart and shut down union based Kroger stores. HEB are some of the highest ranking grocery stores in America 🇺🇸.
A quote from HEB "At H-E-B, we regularly prepare for potential supply chain situations. We do not anticipate any customer impact from the port strike at this time. Our team has been working with suppliers for weeks to serve Texans. Most products are not impacted by this strike. Our stores are receiving shipments and are in a strong position that allows our Partners to continue to restock shelves throughout the day."
I decide to buy some more canned vegetables due to the strike and I noticed they were getting a little low. I do not cook with them often but I like to keep a few cans for something quick. Wow, the prices had jumped 24 percent from the last time I made a purchase.
American made products don't get stuck on cargo ships.

Support local farms
How do you find them
Do you buy from local farms or do you go to WalMart to shop.
Local farms are selling their land to house developers..they don't care about you. I have enough land to grow what my family needs. The rest of you want to live in HOA's.
Grow a garden.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST!!🇺🇲❤️💪
He’s right, people better stock up. Even if this strike only lasts a week or two, grocery store warehouses will be depleted and there will be many empty shelves in stores across the nation.
There will not! Stop fearmongering. Corporations pay people to monitor what is happening around the world and knew this was a very real possibility. Every warehouse has been packed full for at least a year.
@@dancinginabundance tell that to states in the South East affected by hurricane. Battery shortages already. You have to think nonfood essentials that are imported.

I am litterally holding my breathe until the election. As a middle class family we are on the brink 😢 even with $4 an hr raise for my husband that was 4 to 5 years overdue! Sadly, I have NO CONFIDENCE we will have a fair election 😢 then we will be nothing more than a 3rd word country with a socialist one party power! 💔💔💔
Pray & hope. Go out and vote in November.
I also pray that God stretches your finances and meets all your daily needs.
And please don't literally hold your breath until the election. We want you to live!
again another person who does not now what they are talking about
I agree with you… they will do whatever it takes to keep Trump out of office. We can’t handle another four or plus years of this administration. I don’t understand these people that think Kamala is for the average American.
@@LisaTurner-d1b Know* How ironic!
The fact they want 77% pay increase, but they're offered 56% and they still go on strike as we have a natural disaster effecting multiple states, takes away all sympathy i have for the workers
Maybe they should be fired and start anew
Every worker in this country should be on a picket right now.
I think the plan is to negotiate for earnings & retirement money now. While shipping cos have been extremely profitable over the past 3 yrs.
*ILA union workers know their time is limited. Soon they will be out of jobs and without a future*
Greed, plain and simple.

We need to use our own energy, grow our own food and have everyday people who can do it free from government regulation. That is how and why a free nation becomes the wealthiest in the world.

Love Maria! She is great and honest.

Prices will go up but will never come down, they will just become the new norm.
Don't forget product size.
It is slimming and we do not even pay attention to the downsizing every month.
We are paying more for less.
That is how greed works:
How much are you willing to pay?
Doritos now charge $6.99 a bag, yet
there is no corn shortage.
Stockholders are their priority, not customers.

They don’t want to stop the strike
They’ll claim price gouging and then they’ll want to set the prices of everything
She has already said it
She doesn't want to set the price for everything. But when it comes to something like food she wants to ensure the price doesn't rise faster than wages
They have been price gouging since COVID. Claiming costs far above any price impacts from the Pandemic. Governing officials purchasing departments say that is the going rate but do not actually see if the price increase is justified. Thus instead of say a 50% increase in costs they claim a 267% increase and no justification is given. The customer has been screwed over by big business because no one challenges them
We understand. Get the fed out of our local framers and grocery stores.
Guess a lot of us wont be eating much. TRUMP2024 ❤
Local farmers. I'll be eating just fine. Support America
I have actually eaten a few pb&j sandwiches the last couple of weeks ......single father ...as long as my daughter is eating better than me I'm fine with it .....what can I do??!?!
@digi. What a wonderful Father you are😁 I raised my ex husbands two daughters 10 years. The youngest one said,"Please marry Dad." "He can't cook." Dad was a boring meal planner. Same stuff over and over and she liked to eat. First words home from school.. "What's for supper"
I’m supposed to be on a diet anyway so I’m easy and cheap to feed
It's a cure for the obesity
Epidemic .
Lazy minds .
Idk about y'all but the prices are already high
Yup, and sellers of home are not helping so it’s more then corporations and investors it’s also our neighbors! For example my neighbor bought her house for 324k in 2020. She is selling it for 1,350,000. Is it worth that? No will it get sold, I hope not. If someone buys it, that means my new neighbor is an idiot. When a recession happens, and it’s bound to happen, they will have a difficult time.
Not only will prices skyrocket again, WE WILL HAVE SUPPLY SHORTAGES AS WELL! Sadly, those that see what's really going on on MANY fronts, have been warning people to stock up on sustainable supplies for quite awhile. But, too many ignored our warnings, and they're about to find out they're going to be going through some pretty hard times! 😢
Joe Biden is a Union man. I missed the part where he was working those union jobs. He’s been running for offices since 1970, he was the first Senator to endorse Jimmy Carter.
Would be no issue with American made products
Like……?
We need trade. We can’t make everything here. We like some things that come from other countries like fruit from Chile in the winter. It’s a nice idea and a feel good thing, but imports will always be important regardless. Some things should be made more often here, but trade has been important since the dawn of mankind.
Does the union boss keep getting his $901,000 a year paycheck while his members are not getting a paycheck?
Drives a Bentley and has a nice, big yacht too
@jennie7I am sure that union president is maxxed out with debt also as the more a person makes the more he spends
His members were making GREAT money for their jobs. Plus whatever they steal while working the docks.
@jennie7200k and how much are they really taking home? Especially living in NY to NJ ? Also do you know how many hours they have to work to make 200k? Do you know they work in all types of weather? Weekends, holidays, 24 hours. Missing family functions. Do you know how much the CEO gave himself as a bonus on them, or how much profit they made on American labor?
He was charged years ago for racketeering. His co-defendant who was supposed to plea guilty on a lesser charge to keep the case out of the media went missing after disagreeing. They found him decomposing in the trunk of a car in a New Jersey parking lot. They later dropped the charges on him. The same year the doj was accusing him of mob connections. He's a pos.
Our ports are less efficient than 50% of the world. We need more automation to speed things up. These dock workers are adding unnecessary costs to our goods. They turned down a 50% pay increase already.
Edit: his co-defendant was Lawrence Ricci. Incase anyone wanted to look it up.
a stamp is now $0.73 a stamp. Unbelievable.
The Taliban are now wearing American Military uniforms while they abuse their women.
Reason why is a lot of people pay online so the post office has to raise the cost of stamps
I rarely use stamps.
And the postal service is asking to raise the stamp prices 5 more times in the next 3 years!!
I don't know, 73 cents seems pretty cheap to send a letter across the United States and have it delivered within a day or two.
Cant afford Food Now. Union Bosses and Workers are Making it Worse.
totally we need to replace the dock workers with robotics. This is proof with the unions holding the country hostage. I'm an ER RN and these dock workers make more than I do yet it's not good enough.
You are the one who should be worried as AI will soon replace you.
Vote for Trump!🇺🇲 None of this would be happening if President Trump is re-elected
Clearly reality elides you as trump added 8 trillion to the deficit and his COVID response allowed hundreds of thousands Americans to die.

Crooks!
yep, word of the day...
Who are the crooks?
Yes ,BIG BUSINESS ARE CROOKS !!!
If you want to hoard, please don't go to walmart. Buy from big lots. They have filed bankruptcy and it will help them out.
Why are we eating food being imported from who knows where? Our food should be grown or raised in the U.S. and processed here.
We take care of the copier for a local ILA. When it breaks we are telling them we will fix it when they go back to work. After all the toner and parts are shipped from overseas through the port. Can't fix your machine with out those parts.
The demands of the strikers is ridiculous, they are being selfish and don't care about everyone else but themselves, they even declined a 50% raise, the majority of the country are lucky to get a 3% raise, selfish selfish selfish...
They have to be getting paid
They get paid over $100,000 a year.
That's the union way! 😮
EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT WHY THEY ARE STRIKING. THEIR JOB IS VERY HARD AND DANERGOUS. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT PORT WORKERS ARE. NOW EVERYONE HATES THE PORT WORKERS. I HOPE THE STRIKE LAST THREE MONTHS UNTIL THE BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES LISTEN TO THEM. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE PORT WORKERS. IT ISN'T JUST ABOUT MONEY, THEY ARE FIGHTING AGAINST A.I. THAT IS A BIG DEAL.
@@Neal-z9g A.I. is the future! I have delt with dock workers, most are in it just for themselves! From demanding cheap non-union products to telling other they don't deserve no more than minimum wage! Their job is important but they take it a little to far!
Unions and Democrats just LOVE my money.
The AFL-CIO is deep state corrupted. They support the RADICAL WOKE CRT DEI transgender OPEN BORDER INVASION POLICIES OF THE COMIE HARRIS REGIME
THE STRIKE ISN'T JUST ABOUT MONEY. THEY WANT A STOP TO A.I. WHICH WILL STEAL THEIR JOBS. I AM SUPPORT OF THIS STRIKE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HELP THE PORT WORKERS. I AM FOR TRUMP, BUT I AM ALSO FOR UNIONS
It’s the union leaders. I was a Union member and the overwhelming majority of members were conservatives, the leadership not so much.
We as a country have let corporate greed lead us down a path of self-dependency rather than self-sufficiency. We need to start making things again. We need to be great, again.
This is the problem
How arrogant of the ILA. Remember the 90's when unions negotiated pay & benefit cuts, just to keep their jobs.
PRICES HAVE NEVER GONE DOWN….MUCH LESS MAY GO UP ⬆️ AGAIN…
When NO other Supermarket would open stores in NYC, , this man Started Gristedes in the inner City and still there to this day !
John's The Man!
And this is happening under who’s administration?
Joe Biden DEMOCRAT RUN administration is TO BLAME
How is it allowed for one union to control so many ports? I thought monopolies are illegal.
That’s not a monopoly. Monopolies apply to businesses or enterprises. Not workers.
Labor unions were in fact sued for anticompetitive practices shortly after the Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890, but the US Supreme Court ruled that unions were exempt from the act. Later antitrust laws ("trust" in this context means "monopoly") specifically exempted unions (and other organizations, including Major League Baseball) from their provisions. Furthermore, a number of federal laws and court decisions in the early-to-mid-20th century strengthened unions' monopoly power over labor markets, including the Clayton Act, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and the Norris-La Guardia Act. The NLRA is the most important of these in the context of your question. It requires the Nat'l Labor Relations Board (or some labor commission) to certify an "exclusive bargaining agent" (a union) to represent a given "bargaining unit" (a group of workers who share a common employer and trade). This provision grants a monopoly privilege to the union that is duly certified to represent workers for any given employer. It's why, if you work for a port employer in, say, New York, you can't just start a new union to compete against the ILA there. The ILA is the legally certified bargaining agent and it possesses the exclusive right to represent dock workers there (unless and until it does something so corrupt that it gets decertified).
The NLRA also requires employers to engage in collective bargaining with the certified union, and this empowers the union to win compensation and benefit settlements that are often far above competitive free-market rates. Also, union-friendly states force workers to join the certified union if one exists, which further strengthens unions' monopoly power. Right-to-work laws attenuate union power to some extent, as they give workers the freedom not to join the union. This makes it harder for unions to organize in right to work states, although some unions do exist, particularly with municipal employers like public schools and ports. Texas is a right to work state, but its schools and ports are unionized.
The ILA, like other big unions, got itself certified as the bargaining agent for many different employers in many different states through a variety of tactics. Have those tactics included illegal activities like extortion, bribery, protection racketeering, assault and battery, election fraud, or other corrupt interactions with local politicians, port commissioners and workers? Well, numerous union officials have been accused of such tactics over the last 100 years and there have been a number of criminal convictions, but I certainly don't have any evidence that any ILA official has ever committed such crimes. Anyone, however, is free to watch the recent videos of Harold Daggett promising to cripple the American people with ILA's labor strike, and then form their own opinion of his character and tactics. Again, I have no evidence at all that he has ever crossed the line and done anything illegal, and I am certainly not suggesting that he has.
Election time is coming!!!!! VOTE
How many of these ships and ports are owned by USA company’s?answer zero. This should never have happened

Truck drivers worked all through COVID, matter of fact the only time we get respect from the public is when the public absolutely needs us. We haven't shut down in a strike, we keep going. What makes a union worker more important than the rest of the country?
Thank you for trucking..
Vote Trump or we are done
America IS done, with Trump. Harris2024. NEVER a felon.
Have a little more faith in the country. If Trump doesn't win, you'll be upset for four years, but the Union will survive. If the nation were so fragile, as to depend on a single person, then it would fall no matter what. He's not a king, and he's certainly not God. Vote your conscience. Then, if your side does not win, trade your angst for prayer and support for the winner. This "us or them" mentality is what is destroying this country.
With a little effort we can always find the better attitude

It isn’t like both sides just looked at the time and were reminded their contracts were up. Why wasn’t this resolved prior to shutting down? The situation it is in was clearly on purpose.
What happened to America investing in infrastructure???? 🤦🏾
It's happening right now. Things are being repaired or internet lines extended. The money wasn't for some big grand new project. It is to repair all the old stuff
He's a 💯 percent right and who suffers us the American citizens wake up people vote out all democrats and liberals and vote Republicans in the house and senate and trump well have it easier to get this country back on track
FJB has the authority to tell them to hold off on striking bc of the devastaion inflicted by Helene or else they'll all be fired & replaced with national guardsmen & some branches of the armed forces.
PRODUCTS SHOULD BE , "MADE IN THE USA"!
100% we can thank our politicians for allowing all the outsourcing of manufacturing, etc. for higher profits. We're a useless nation.
FJB!!!!!!
And take Harris/Walz With Ya ..
Even my husband who used to weld barges at the ports said that this strike is the most selfish thing he has ever seen and they already make a lot more than the average citizen. Said now they will just be replaced with, "squabs."
Idk what that means but, it doesn't sound good
Scabs.
Non-union replacement workers.

My husband almost lost his job trying to get the Union in at his job. They were successful and I supported him no matter what happened because I believed in the unions but this, this? This is a completely different beast and I do not support this 1 bit.
It's hurting all of America, not a good look and that thing that is the head of the union only cares about himself, the workers are just too stupid to see it.😥
No you are wrong. I’m not a union guy and I’m mostly on team red but these guys are doing what every American should be doing. Holding out for better conditions. Are you telling me that working class people should bear the brunt of inflation while corps continue to push their earning and profit up? No way in hll does that make sense. Conditions are dwindling for most Americans and you are suggesting they accept that.
The Federal government break up company monopolies. They should break up union monopolies.
Accusing companies of price gouging when they have had to respond to the overwhelming increases the SHIPPING COMPANIES have inflicted on us.
In 2019 it cost me $6000 to bring a container over from China. In 2022 it was $25,000 to bring the same size container of goods over.
How about we start talking to the SHIPPING COMPANIES about what they are doing to our bottom line!!!
Such greed,workers offered a 50% raise and it wasn’t enough 🙄
It's not just about the money, it's also about AI not replacing them, if you think greed is having a job.

It's hard to support the strikers when they are going to hammer us with this strike. It's all we can do to keep up, and many can't do that anymore.
I SUPPORT THE UNION AND WHY THEY ARE STRIKING. LAST STRIKE LASTED THREE MONTHS BACK IN 1977. DOESN'T AFFECT ME NONE. I HAVE BEEN PREPPING SINCE 2016. I SEEN THIS COMING FOR 4 MONTHS. I HAVE FRIENDS ON THE PORTS THAT ARE STRIKING. GOOD FOR THEM
Bought groceries this morning. Already prices are up again. It was senior 10% day but not many of us were filling up our carts. One lady just looked at me after looking at the prices of produce. I said to her, "I guess we are all going on a diet." She agreed and walked past the product putting nothing in her cart.
I picked up an entire strip loin for $6.30 /lb thanks to my 10% senior discount. That works out to a $4.70/lb savings for ribeye steaks vs the $11/lb at Sam's Club. nYou can save money if you are willing to put a little work in. You can buy a whole Top sirloin and cut it up for steaks, stew/chili meat and ground beef and pay around $4.50 a pound.
In Texas, a lot of people buy groceries at HEB which is a a large grocery store based out of San Antonio, TX. Their stores are only based across the state of Texas and stand hard against Walmart and shut down union based Kroger stores. HEB are some of the highest ranking grocery stores in America 🇺🇸.
A quote from HEB "At H-E-B, we regularly prepare for potential supply chain situations. We do not anticipate any customer impact from the port strike at this time. Our team has been working with suppliers for weeks to serve Texans. Most products are not impacted by this strike. Our stores are receiving shipments and are in a strong position that allows our Partners to continue to restock shelves throughout the day."
Where is common sense. Supply and Demand. What it doesn't work like that anymore? FJB
Isn’t this also under Transportation with Pete Bootiegig? Or is that another department?
I decide to buy some more canned vegetables due to the strike and I noticed they were getting a little low. I do not cook with them often but I like to keep a few cans for something quick. Wow, the prices had jumped 24 percent from the last time I made a purchase.
I paid $1.69 for Aldi brand saltines!!
