We are finding out that the ramifications go far beyond simply the loss from the world market of a significant supply of energy in the form of crude oil and liquified natural gas (“LNG”) . In addition to those, the impacts include such disparate products as aluminum, fertilizer, drugs, and helium. Also, that for some of this production, it could take years for a full recovery.  \nWe live in interesting times, and although there is nothing we can do directly to change the outcome of events on the macro scale, on the micro scale we can attempt to protect and improve our business interests through education and by being proactive. The Transportation & Logistics Council, Inc. continues to offer timely virtual workshops and seminars to help members address these matters.  \nIn the meantime, with all this distraction and disruption, we must carry on with the everyday business of business, as we wait, hopefully, for matters to resolve themselves. All the while, knowing that whether it comes in the form of a natural disaster, political turmoil or something more localized, there will be further turmoil and disruption that we must try to be ready for.
