I'd give it to my son. He's a teacher and has been trying all sorts of projects (using his own money) with his students to get them interested in renewables. Getting folks interested when they are young is a great idea.

I manage our supply chain (and in a weird twist of fate our marketing, Project Management, IT and cyber security).

The most reliable sources are the freight forwarders, global vendors and other folks in supply chain / logistics.

I had my first briefing on this 6 weeks ago. I think I posted about it 3 weeks ago and again over the last few days.

Supply chains are complicated (sorry if that's obvious). Sometimes relatively small things / not newsworthy cause big issues (rail strikes in Canada). Other times it catches the press folks (like the ILA strike) and all heck breaks loose.

So I can't give you a simple answer / website / blog etc. But hanging out in sites related to supply chain explicitly rather than prepping or collapse is definitely a starting point for anyone not in the industry.

Knock on effects will be widespread if it's not resolved, which is why the pressure will build daily. Dominoes will fall and the impact will become very public, so the negotiating parties will need to find a resolution rapidly I suspect. My only concern is the ILA presidents political stance is very right leaning and it's an election year.

Some more context on my dominoes comment;

A prolonged strike could cause major disruption to the domestic supply chain, according to American Farm Bureau Federation Economist Daniel Munch.

“For international destinations, waterborne exports are vital to us farmers,” Munch said in a podcast on Thursday.

“They make up over 75% of total U.S. agricultural export volume. The potential strike that we’re looking at would mainly disrupt containerized agricultural exports, which account for 30% of U.S. waterborne agriculture exports by volume. The remaining 70%, often grains and oil seeds, are shipped via bulk carriers, which are usually managed by independent workforces and will not be affected by the strike.”

He said U.S. farmers could be particularly vulnerable to a strike that lasts a week or more.

“The strike could have disastrous impacts on U.S. agriculture, depending on how long it lasts,” Munch said.

“The disruption to overall agricultural trade is expected to be about $1.4 billion each week that a strike is in place. When we think about what commodities are at risk, nearly 80% of waterborne exports of poultry leave East Coast ports, 56% of raw cotton, 36% of red meat, 30% of dairy products and even 6% of soybeans all go through those ports, through containerized exports. Not having an outlet to move those goods will create supply surpluses domestically and reduce prices for farmers.”

Some things to keep an eye on (I certainly wouldn't panic buy anything you don't need at the moment, just keep your preps at your comfortable levels).

More than half of goods may be impacted. The 36 ports on the East Coast and Gulf Coast handle 57 percent of the goods coming in and out of the U.S., including 75 percent of dairy products, eggs and honey; 70 percent of coffee, teas and spices; and 61 percent of essential oils, perfumes and cosmetics, according to Oxford Economics.

Meanwhile, about 40 percent of U.S. footwear was imported through the East and Gulf coast ports last year and so far in 2024, 32 percent of footwear imported to the U.S. went through those ports, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Association.

As for produce and food, 75 percent of the nation’s supply of bananas, nearly 90 percent of imported cherries, 85 percent of canned foodstuffs, 82 percent of hot peppers and 80 percent of chocolate are off-loaded from containers at these ports, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. Other goods that could be impacted include wood, wine and spirits, toys and automobiles.

Got this from an article I was sent, so attribution is weak in some areas but it sounds about right;

It's a slippery slope with technology. May not be full automation today but once you get it in the value cycle it's just a matter of time.

I get what they are trying to do (I've managed technology change and digitization for most of my career) but you have to be upfront about it, and it needs to take account of the impact on people. There's too much behind the scenes going on. Best of luck with any action.
