How much who knows but we get so many products from around the world this could become very uncomfortable.

I watched a Rick Wilson post he was in LA he said the port is quiet.
I found this tracker. There definitely is a drop in imports from last week to this week and then again to next week.
The week of May 4 - May 10 the volume of import container ships is down 30.81% that seems like a shitload of goods.
Here's the link to the tracker:

And this is only the beginning. And I read elsewhere that we get the majority of our imports from Canada.
