Black Smoke Matters - US Truckers Strike April 12th A timely post from @dudleydoright a day ago (I hope everyone is well prepared. In case the s hits the fan. Please share your prep ideas)  about being prepared for whatever comes should have been taken to heart.    A one-day strike is not going to cause disruption to a lot of people.    The concern is if the strike goes on longer. It would also be foolhardy to ignore the major issues our country’s shipping industry is experiencing. That is not going to go away without some serious work and people being able to meet each other halfway.     A strike on April 12 could turn into a bigger movement that means the next strike hits harder and causes supply issues that everyone might feel.      Last time a wide spread trucker's strike was in 1974 and it had significant impact on fuel availability, food availability and industry related supplies
