Shortage of:
Truckers.
Railroad workers.
Longshoremen.
Warehouse workers.
Ship crews.
All caused by COVID plandemic.
The end stages of finance capitalism and usury as a money system.
Sink the ships, restore sound money, and everything else will take care of itself.
Deep State.
Part if its “beating will continue until morale improves” campaign.
Also, they may be setting the US up for another Port Snort.
“Please Explain. Exactly Why Do We Have a Shipping Crisis?”
Because the governments of the world told the shipping companies and the media to say that their full ships all of a sudden cannot unload.
If they were to tell the truth, that the reason the ships aren’t unloaded is because the containers are empty, it would set off a mass panic.
Any other questions?
So, using CoupFlu and with the help of our Deep State, the ChiComs have just taken over our ports.
Even simpler explanation: you make more money on the government teat than you do busting your hump for 40 hours a week.
You can’t usher in communism until you completely destroy capitalism.
I, personally, think, it is because we have achieved first stages of Socialism in America.
Shortages and lack of workers are always part of Socialist economy.
Basically, all the government money printing, regulations and rules are coming back to roost.
Shortages drive prices up, the cargoes just get more and more valuable the longer they’re held up so there’s little incentive to fix the issue. Corrupt NY and LA as the gatekeepers.

There are a lot of reasons. This sums them up nicely.
Understand, it’s a manufactured crisis.
IMHO, it’s to facilitate the “Great Reset” on a global scale. Fostering an economic disruption/collapse of society, to be saved by a new world order, establishing a new unified currency (crypto), thereby demanding dependency on the new government for everything.
Is that to far fetched? Perhaps, perhaps not... just assess the mandates, restrictions and bills put forth that contain verbiage that would abolish numerous freedoms and rights, backed by a complicit judiciary system.
The basic problem on the west coast is government. My son works the ports as a contractor moving goods for the Port of Tacoma.
In California, they have ships fully loaded with goods and are forced to anchor outside the ports because of unloading problems. The ships stretch from Long Beach to just south of San Francisco, the entire coast.
The state, Newsome, has forced a total sanitizing of areas and equipment at each shift change which takes hours to accomplish and has thus extended the unloading wait at each change. They currently have so many ships on the coast they can’t even anchor them. Anchoring these container ships requires around 250 feet of water. Every possible location is filled and they are free floating hundreds of ships starting at Dana Point where the drop off starts to deeper water.
So the product is there. But Newsome has established such a ridiculous over reacted standard for the ports they can’t do that and off load the ships suitably so they back up.
There’s product out there. It just is being held up at the ports for political reasons. And now they have such a backup problem in time the goods will stop coming with no place to go and the manufacturers and logistic people will take it elsewhere and less of it. And as the expense is getting astronomical, it will be passed on to the consumer. This will put people under the thumb of government and produce more tax money and unemployment. Another covid first?

Shipping crisis? You haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until the Evergrande real estate problem completely blows up in China. You won’t even remember the shipping crisis. The problem is huge, simply astronomical. So many people will lost money on that company’s dealings it is going to cause a total lack of confidence in real estate dealings over there. How far the contagion reaches will be interesting to watch. Load up on popcorn.
Globalism has ruined our supply chain
Maersk Sells Container Manufacturing Business as China Solidifies Lead
As with other sectors of the economy like restaurants, contraction and shutdown in shipping and trucking are easier than expansion and restart. When such firms downside or go out of business, their workforces tend to drift into other lines of work or retire, while ships and trucks get junked. Rebuilding such lost capacity takes time.
Notice that no one is doing anything to fix it? There is no “whole government approach” to address the issues?
No reason for it. They want to create another crisis.
They told him.
President Trump e'o'd the regulations out that hindered commerce.
The U.S.A. ran smoothely and prosperous.
joe bidet came in and erased all those regulation hinderances.
America blew a fuse and the whole damned thing shut down.
nazi and schmuk .... mission accomplished plus.
Like a water hammer, logistics are meant to be smooth flows but governments are cycling parts of the supply off and on causing this water hammer on logistics pipelines that aren’t that elastic.
Then governments compounded this with covid mandates.
