Biden lauds port czar Porcari — despite US supply chain crisis
NY Post ^ | 13 Oct 2021 | Steven Nelson and Juliegrace Brufke

President Biden on Wednesday praised his “port envoy” John Porcari for doing a “heck of job” — twice calling him by the wrong first name — while discussing mounting shipping-container backlogs that threaten the timely delivery of everyday consumer goods, Christmas gifts and even the trees to put them under.

Biden applauded Porcari’s work as he announced that the Port of Los Angeles would move to a 24/7 work schedule following the emergency example of the nearby Port of Long Beach, which expanded hours three weeks ago to alleviate the mounting supply chain crunch.

“I especially want to thank Joe Porcari. And I think Joe’s done one heck of a job, my special envoy specifically on ports, who’s been working this issue with all the stakeholders for the past several weeks,” Biden said, twice mangling his trusted envoy’s name in the White House East Room.

Despite the situation worsening over the past few months, Biden said that he’s been focused on the supply-chain issue since February.

“I know you’re hearing a lot about something called supply chains and how hard it is to get a range of things from a toaster to sneakers to bicycles to bedroom furniture. And that’s why back in February I signed… an executive order on supply chains and what we had to move on them,” Biden said.

“...Biden said that he’s been focused on the supply-chain issue since February...

As long as he gets his Prevagen IV/ Meth/Coca infusions, so he can semi-function at the POTUS Podium.
Go, Brandon!

From the article:I don't know much about supply chain management, but I remember reading about this several months ago.

To me it's just common sense that the first thing you do is move everyone involved to 24 hr shifts. Why has it taken so long?

Day One he screwed up the energy and put unreasonable limitations on that industry, which everyone else depends upon. The logistics of United States Commerce is so convoluted and interwoven that anyone with common sense (Trump) knows to leave it alone alone as it manages itself just fine.

Pretend-esident's controllers are definitely trying to emulate the fallen USSR's idiocy of micromanaging what they can't fully comprehend for the sake of unproven "Green" models and chasing that "equity" fallacy. I'm certain many now realize what a terrible mistake they made but will not correct it for fear of their fellow zealots.

BTW chuck- good to see you still posting.
