interesting article

https://news.yahoo.com/lazy-crane-operators-making-250-200100567.html

get past the headline.

truckers blame the crane operators, yet the operator union claims they’ve never been busier and the number of containers being moved is at an all-time high at all ports.

My son said he read somewhere that the cost of the actual containers went sky high and that port costs are out of sight.

I can’t even get my arms around all these port costs.

one thing for sure.....whatever is happening....planned shortages, lack of drivers, etc.....DON'T buy things that are over priced....we can live without steak for a while...we don't need a lot of stuff in reality....

paying thru the nose is just giving them more incentives...

I assume these new laws impact heavily?
