Yeah, there'll be inflation all right.
Sail to Portland or Seattle.
Even more interesting, those containers get emptied and sit in storage because we don’t send much back. There is a shortage of containers in Asia and prices for a container are some 400% higher than they were a year ago.
Who’s the boat owners McConnell or Finestein ?
Wait! What’s that foul smell? Ah! It’s a union!
Good. Physics cuts China’s sucking up of out wealth.
Yeah, components of production delayed is a problem. I suggest they address that by packing the ships with less job-stealing garbage. And the manufacturers could get their components from more transportation-friendly locations- maybe even here.
Sounds to me like the deep state is manipulating the supply chains.

I think I have some parts for my Suzuki floating out there
For perspective, if each of those 21 container ships were the size of the Evergiven which blocked the Suez canal the length of one ship’s 20’ containers stacked end on end would stretch for 75 miles.
75 x 21 = 1575 miles of containers which would stretch from Los Angeles, CA to Little Rock, AR.
Sounds like a demand slump build up. Who’s buying what ❓
We ordered Kelly Kettles last year and we just got an email from them saying our kettles were stuck on a ship in LA. They expect to be unloaded by the end of April.
Buy American. ...whats the problem?
Gene Seroka, a Port of Los Angeles executive, warned the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners in February that high import levels caused by increased spending during the pandemic were driving port congestion.The demand isn't just for offshore items.
My wife works for a domestic company that manufactures lawn care items---they've been on mandatory overtime for over a year. Their normal 40-hr weeks are now 60 hours. With no letup in sight.
The economy is acting like the weather; while one area suffers, another area is booming.
Make it here. End globalism. Tariffs now.
I don’t think they’re waiting to dock so much as not being allowed to dock. There is a whole naval fleet off Long Beach right now. People were taking videos of it from their cars on PCH. Warships as far as they eye can see.
