I heard on Foxnews today that the shipping lockout on the west coast is blocking 1 billion dolllars worth of business a day.

This can't be good.

Anyone have any thoughts?

So far prices of products hadn't gone up here. Therefore, I can only say I'm glad I live on the east coast in a city with a major shipping port. blink.gif

If I was Mexico or Canada now I'd say to those ships, "I'll give you 20 cents on the dollar for your goods".

Mike told me that he had heard that these ships were not going into the West coast ports. Instead, they are going down through the Panama Canal and coming up the east coast to our ports on this side of the country. Does anyone know if this is true?
