I think it’s important to point out that this strike is essentially over money (as most are, of course) but specifically about inflation and disputes over increased automation of the ports.
“…industry experts say early negotiations broke down after the ILA sought a 77 percent wage increase over six years to offset inflation and allow workers to benefit from the billions made by shipping companies during the pandemic.
The ILA has dismissed this characterization of its demands.
"Deceiving the public with misleading calculations is not going to help get an agreement with the ILA," said ILA President Harold Daggett in a statement on Monday.
According to the union, top-scale port workers currently earn $39 per hour, or just over $81,000 annually.”

“The International Longshoremen’s Union is demanding significantly higher wages and a total ban on the automation of cranes, gates and container movements that are used in the loading or loading of freight at 36 U.S. ports. Whenever and however the dispute is resolved, it’s likely to affect how freight moves in and out of the United States for years to come.”

For my part, I’ll be focused on what I DO want to see emerging from the mists.

As if this year (and this particular storm) couldn’t be any weirder …
In 1958 there was a Hurricane Helene.
It attained hurricane strength on September 24. It became a Category 4 on September 26th.
Fast forward to 2024:
Hurricane Helene becomes a hurricane on September 24th and strengthens to a Category 4 on September 26th.
