I believe this. They want a fascist world.
And no interest in “moving the supply chain back onshore”.
Republican leaders should start calling for a STATE OF EMERGENCY! This crisis could easily be avoided if we had someone in DC that had a clue.
Republicans have to step up their game. This needs to be called a STATE OF EMERGENCY. The administration is failing to act. You can bet your last dollar Trump would have resolved this matter in no time. For whatever reason, the democrats want to ignore it.
Yet another consequence of a stolen election.

Every Container Box on a ship has to be loaded on to a truck Chassis. There is a severe shortage of chassis’ at the Ports.
Most Chassis are made in China. Clueless Joe promised to lift the tariffs on truck Chassis in China. Joe didn’t remove the tariffs - the Chinese are mad and won’t ship any Chassis as long as the tariffs are in place.
Also, for the Boxes we unload - there is no where to store them. The Rail yards are full. This is what you get when everything is imported from China.

Part of the problem is dock unions limit working hours, unlike other countries that go 24/7, so deliveries pile up. Then, many containers were stacked up in various US ports and sold off for low rent housing, helping create the current shortage of containers.
In the news yesterday.
China’s charges for shipping containers to the US:
• Before the ‘pandemic’… $1,400.00 to ship one container
• Since the ‘pandemic’ … $14,000.00 to ship one container
Looks like a WWII convoy.
Why do you think there is a lack of capacity? Did they scrap ships during the pandemic? Did three-quarters of their workers die or quit? Is there that much of a backlog of products to ship after the world went into lockdown for a year?
I am really perplexed as to why this situation has happened.
“It’s a war on small business, the large companies companies like Home Depot, Walmart, etc. have secured full ocean vessels for their product due to the lack of capacity. This capacity crunch raises $$ to levels we have never seen before. Small bus. Pay more & cannot secure space”

I cannot disagree with this. The destruction of the Kulak class continues.
We have always shipped air freight. It costs more, but we get what we need - almost right away. Many of our competitors have their goods stuck on those ships and we are getting their customers.
Of course, our products are not too heavy - if you are shipping furniture or mechanical parts you may have no choice.
Ocean freight is definitely cheaper - even at today's high container rates - but unless you are a big player with the ability to manage the longer supply chain lead times it's safer for a small business to just pay more for air shipment.
What a mess he’s created...Trump tried to keep everything moving. Dems are making EVERYTHING stop.
Its no coincidence that Commifornia has a Communist running the place facilitating the ChiComs in their plans.
My $200 order of daffodils from Holland are on one of those ships. Once it docks has to go through customs. It could be mid November before I get them. Hope Autumn can hold on so I can plant them.
I know this much - something’s fishy here... this might highlight part of what’s wrong but it’s not the whole story. Thanks for posting this Black Conservative... every puzzle piece helps.
