Florida has ports? Lucky stiffs. No accused consumers causing any problems there. Is Newsom secretly visiting to see how it works? Git 'er done.

He says those ports are experiencing delays partly due to the fact that they supply goods for the middle of the country, unlike ports in Florida.

CSX and Norfolk Southern have the ability to deliver containers to Chicago, which is the main interchange point between eastern and western railroads. Granted, rail cars can get lost in the bowels of Chicago's rail yards for some time, but that can be fixed.

Interstates 10 and 95 can get containers moving onto our highway system with ease.

A little imagination and willingness can get things moving to the right places.

And, Florida ports are great for goods sourced from anything on the Atlantic. However, to get the goods from China would require a trip around South America as it’s doubtful the new cargo ships can make it through the Panama Canal. So, it takes from two weeks to a month to get a cargo ship from China to California. It would probably take double that to get one from China to Florida, plus the tip of South America is a very dangerous route. In addition, a lot of cargoes will be damaged by mold if in the ship any longer than they already are.

Port Tampa is open and ready and has trucks and rail connections. Time to ‘do the Panama’...

Possibly FL does not have this problem...
