00:00What happens if our seaports go on strike?
00:02The strike is set for October 1st, so you better share this with everyone.
00:06Because if our ports close, everything we depend on closes with it.
00:10Let's talk about what would happen within the month of October.
00:13On day one, international fuel shipments are the first to feel the impact.
00:17Crude oil tankers stuck offshore means no new fuel entering refineries.
00:21By the end of the day, concerns spread across industries as gas stations,
00:25trucking companies, and airlines brace for immediate shortages.
00:29Everything from fuel to imported goods is at risk,
00:32but fuel becomes the most critical loss.
00:34By day three, gas stations are starting to run dry and rationing begins.
00:38Prices surge as demand skyrockets.
00:40Without fuel, trucks can't deliver goods,
00:42and the first shortages show up in grocery stores.
00:45Businesses relying on imported oil like refineries
00:48scramble to maintain operations with whatever reserves they have left.
00:52The ripple effect starts to hit home.
00:53No fuel means no transportation,
00:55and without transportation, the flow of goods stop.
00:58Day seven, the energy crisis takes hold.
01:01Within the first week, the impact of fuel shortage deepens.
01:04Trucks, trains, and ships that move essential supplies across the country
01:07slow to a halt.
01:09Agriculture and manufacturing are crippled,
01:11unable to operate without fuel for machinery and transportation.
01:14Airlines begin canceling flights,
01:16and public transportation services are cut.
01:18Gas prices hit all-time highs as panic buying intensifies.
01:22By week two, the power grid struggles and collapse looms.
01:25Power plants that rely on imported fuel start to struggle
01:28and blackout spread as they ration what's left.
01:30People begin hoarding fuel, and chaos erupts at the pumps.
01:34The stock market plummets as industries relying on global supply chains begin to crumble.
01:38The economy falters, and unemployment skyrockets
01:41as factories close and businesses shutter.
01:44By week four, total breakdown of society.
01:47By the end of the month, the energy crisis and fuel shortages
01:50bring society to its knees.
01:52Cities erupt into fuel riots, and law enforcement is overwhelmed.
01:55With no fuel, food distribution collapses,
01:58and starvation becomes a real threat.
02:01Communities are left to fend for themselves as fuel reserves dry up completely,
02:05leaving transportation, emergency services, and the economy in ruins.
02:09Without ports, crude oil can't get in.
02:12Without crude oil, fuel can't be made.
02:14Without fuel, everything grinds to a halt.
02:16When the fuel stops, America stops.
02:19And just so we're clear, this could all happen within the month of October.
02:23AP out.
