1-1 Discussion: Global Events and Local Supplies

introduce yourself. Then address the prompt below. I have been trying to answer these questions without any political intentions; everything I have researched has political implications. I need some help.

With the help of the global economy,U.S. consumers have come to expect products from across the globe to be on store shelves whenever they want. However, some events impact the global supply chain and the products we see in stores.

In your initial post, address the following as part of your response:

• List three products you can purchase at a local store that are only available due to global trade and discuss the impact of international trade on the local stores.
• List an occurrence (for example, an earthquake, hurricane, or war) that prevented a product from being sold in your local market or that affected the product's condition or price significantly. Discuss how frequently you notice missing products or significant price changes due to events in other countries.
