Vanity: CA Congresswoman Has Unique Solution to Supply Chain Crisis: Ban Container Ships
Congresswoman Steel - Twitter ^

Posted on 10/16/2021 2:21:24 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Rep. Michelle Steel @RepSteel NEWS: Today I introduced legislation to ban cargo ships off the Orange County coast.

Ships anchored for weeks and months off our coast likely caused last week's oil spill. Reports show that the pipe "may have been struck several other times" by ship anchors off the coast

If China invades Taiwan, all of their container ships need to leave our waters. Trade must cease completely with them at that point.

She is GOP and her motive is to get the ships in and out of port. To unload cargo.

She is strongly pro-life. She also showed very strong support for Trump’s policies.

You are the ignorant one. She is GOP. Not a RINO in that she strongly supported Trump. She is also very pro-life. The intention of the Bill is to get the ships moving in and out of port to unload cargo.

Well, OK then.

That is not what I would naturally presume from a politician, but it certainly works for me.

Well, OK then.

That is not what I would naturally presume from a politician, especially with the comment about the oil spill in the body of text, , but it certainly works for me.

DeSantis could be the one in 2024. I like his style.

Fair enough. She's still a grandstanding dingbat.

I do think that is a requirement for public office.

If they can’t anchor and must idle far offshore they will eventually run out of fuel.

What would be your solution for large numbers of zombie cargo ships with no power washing up wherever the winds an currents took them?

That was my thought too.

Where are the Governors of TX, LA, MS, and AL?

Houston, Mobile, New Orleans, Biloxi not up to it?

That's what we really need: A Pro Trump Republican who is a complete idiot who is incapable of understanding how commercial shipping works and what the real cause is. Please deliver us from morons like her.

I know he would be best for the Country but I hope Florida could find a suitable replacement.

“Maybe a good alternative would be to build a new, state of the art deep water port between Tijuana and Ensenada, then build a truck and train only highway/railway to Yuma, AZ.”

Ha.... was thinking about the same thing the other day. The only downside off the top of my head would possibly be the cartels.
