The only supply shortage is Biden’s labor force.

Well, we left $80 billion in "cargo" in Afghanistan, so $22 billion seems like "no big deal"

“There are simply too many vessels arriving with too much cargo for terminals, trucks, trains and warehouses to handle.”

The handled it fine under Trump. Too much red tape now blocking movement. Cut the tape, cut the bottlenecks, cut the heads off the tapers. Somehow, I doubt Butthead and Biden are up to the task.

If all those ships just went to Ensenada, we could get maybe Half of it to the US

This mess points to the fact that the US economy depends on Chicoms imports.

Not good.

In his escalator speech from June 2015, President Trump announced his determination to put America first, and the first thing he did was take on China.

Are these ships full of crap from China?

Let them rust, rot, and sink.

“Made In The USA” doesn’t get stuck in port.

This year for Christmas plan early
BOYCOTT CHINA 100%
We can make our own “Reset”

“Use it up... Wear it out... Make it do... Or do without”

NOTHING FROM CHINA FOR CHRISTMAS!
AMERICAN PATRIOTS ARE MAD!
NOTHING FROM CHINA FOR CHRISTMAS!
‘CAUSE CHINA AND BIDEN ARE BAD!

Are you brave enough to make a real stand?
Did you get the Crap From China “Catalogue” from Amazon?
All plastic, no quality, no prices. Sears they ain’t.
*************************************************

LET’S GO BRANDON!

This year make a real effort to not give China one damned copper penny.

Second hand, swap with friends, make it yourself, have an event instead. Go low key, make family, friends, and memories more important.

Cook, bake, be a Secret Santa to a neighbor. Put on a play! Involve everyone. Give music lessons as gifts, buy American.

Make it about fun, not cheap Chinese plastic. Make every ornament for your tree by hand. Shun ANYTHING from China. Stick it up their ass.

Let their ships full of shit rot and sink.

*WE* can ALSO RESET! Do it.

Maybe these goods should be made in the US so they won’t have to be shipped.

Most people do not understand why this is really happening, or that we are at war.

maybe if you read these articles it will give you another piece of the jigsaw puzzle

The longshoreman’s union rules the ports with an iron fist.

Nothing will happen until the union agrees to any changes. Work 24/7? Not unless the union says you can.
