The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If the Longshoreman strike goes on too long, these perishable products will not be sold, losing a whole seasons worth of production and income for the producers.

I would think a consumable would just create a domestic "glut". Prices would fall because there was too much supply. Other nations would be in a world of hurt, though, as many rely on US agricultural exports to feed their people. I also would think that it would fuel inflation for any imported goods (like pretty much everything in the Walmart inventory, i.e. "made in China"). Which folks at home would not be happy about, and might color the upcoming election.
