I never get the toilet paper thing. If its that bad and you run out at home, just jump in the shower and wash your crack. Or if dont want to get wet, grab a wash cloth. I bet you have tons of wash cloths in your closet that arent being used lol. There's also all your one sided socks, old shirts, rags. So much other things you could use instead of wasting time/money worrying about toilet paper lol. One pack lasts my family like 2 months anyway. And if toilet paper is out for 2 months straight, there will be bigger issues than just a shortage of doo-doo paper.
people copy what they see on tv. lots of copy-catting going on out there. the worst is the mass shooters and road ragers. here in okinawa its ramen. we just had a typhoon and the ramen shelves are bare but we have plenty of toilet paper!
Before the public blames the major companies these so called port works aren’t a skilled labor force and are asking for a 25$ an hour raise!! So let that sink in
Driving a pallet jack, forklift, tractor trailer, top loader, empty handler, rtg or crane is ALL skilled labor, and no they are not asking for a $25 an hour raise. This is why it is important to know what your talking about before you give input.
You do realize port closures and hurricanes affect us in Hawai'i right. If we can't get goods, then people starve. 90% of food is imported. I bet you're not even from Hawai'i.
Should always be stocked up ... call it keeping a pantry. Get things you eat anyway, rice, spam, etc., keep it rotated just like the supermarket does, don't let stuff get old ... keep at least a little garden if you can. I'm old enough to remember the 1970s shipping strike, SugarTwin! We used that instead of sugar ... blech. Also, *strikes are for a good reason* you can thank Unions for the 8-hour day, weekend, retirement (social security) etc all the things that make modern life not like the bad old days. So consider this a good thing, a fight for workers' rights, all of our rights, and a good "exercise" in being prepared.
Reform the Jones Act - "Because the 1920 federal Jones Act requires that all goods carried between U.S. ports be on U.S.-built and flagged ships that also are mostly owned and crewed by Americans. This makes it significantly more expensive to transport goods to Hawaii, not only because of how the act limits foreign competition, but also because ships built in the U.S. are at least four to five times more expensive than ships on the world market." All the international goods have to come to the mainland first before they get to Hawaii.
Dock workers are continuing to move local cargo. Tacoma is still shipping to Alaska and Hawaii. Our frustration is with the Foreign shipping companies not our fellow Americans!!!
The ports To me there like place settings. My mother said never bite the hand that feeds you. But what happens when that hand stops feeding you? I say take away the place setting All of the dishes And the forks. And confiscate the table. I mean after all we're not invited to that dinner party. So why let the celebration continue for everybody else when we are not invited?
@Jon Morimoto What errors? I do not have to explain to you what I'm stocking up for. If you can't figure out why, given we're literally in the middle of nowhere with harder access to other places, then that's not my fault you're clueless.
@Jon Morimoto Again, what I buy is none of your business weirdo.

Not exactly true. Lots don’t wanna work, even for a livable wage. People now have it in theirs heads that they won’t work unless they are making more than the company owner. Lol.
@@alaefarmestatesllc right, actually very true. If your business model cannot pay a livable wage it's not a good business model because you need Federal n State subsidies for the employees to survive.
@@woodsmith8439 It simply doesn't work like that. That is what you can possibly make after a lot of years in, like 15+ usually, an even then that's only working around the clock where you will make that, so most don't because by then you are kinda tired and worn down from years of labor. It is not as sweet as you people that read BS and jump to conclusions think..

Hello, 🥀🥀May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

@@Jon.Morimoto My screen name is my birth name.

So stop pretending you "studied" because your ignorant statement makes it seem like either that is a lie or you have poor rereading comprehension.

Your focus on an issue that is not the topic of the video shows a deep lack of rationality. 3) My first reply to you was a critique of ideas and the words used to present them.
