She got a total of about 47.50 in her campaign war chest. No one like her. She’s super weird.
Aren’t these ports owned by the Chicoms?
Move the ships to other ports.
The Dems are experts in observing that “the system is broken”, especially when they are the very people that broke it.
Here, we are probably seeing people calling their bluff, allowing a system that Dems have crippled bit by bit for years to -actually- break, and right now, that breakage does not fit into their plans at at all. Good. I seriously doubt that truck drivers are big fans of Dems and Biden, given unfixable trucks due to environmental regulations, work rules and so on. They would probably love to have a modest Christmas with their families, and, well, if Amber doesn’t get her Pelloton until June, TFB. Biden’s Fault.
I have read on Reddit that a very significant number of semi’s are parked right now due to the unavailablity of a crucial part for their weird and wacky, EPA-mandated DEF systems. This has made pre-DEF semi’s in excellent restored condition very valuable.
here is an idea. hire extra peopleDo you get out of the house? Have you seen the help wanted signs?
You sound like a know it all squishy liberal.
So looking forward to the union thugs losing their jobs when automation has kicked in. Some ports have already automated the “yard dog” trucks that move the containers between the cranes and the highway truck yards and rail yards. Union jobs evaporating. Nice!
Central planning diktats rarely are.
If the anchor baby takes over, not only would she not "win" re-election...but booty-gig wouldn't either.
Gov hairdo, who just beat a recall, would assume the presidency next.
If it was that easy it would have been done already. There are a whole host of reasons why that isn’t a feasible option.
Why are the other ports in the country not backed up like in Los Angeles?
Physically, not an option in many cases. [1]
And, as monkeyshine stated upthread, that "stuff" is already pre-paid.
Even if it's assumed that some of it could be re-directed to one of the other smaller ports...and those ports wouldn't then get massively backlogged too...who would pay for that additional cost?
I drove by the Jacksonville, FL port today. It was mostly empty with only one container ship unloading.
Joe’s got 4 weeks to get the goods on the shelves for People of Color Friday.
Right at a time that the vax firings ramp up.
What could go wrong.
The port in Savana (4th largest in the U.S) is backed up, for example, because a few of the smaller ships that would normally offload in a CA port have diverted there.
Guess the end consumer will pick up the tab on the extra cost in those cases because somebody had to pay to re-direct that already pre-paid/pre-arranged cargo to another port.
Someday, this will be a case study on how socialism/communism/extreme "environmentalism" (CA politics) can really mess up all sorts of sectors across the entire country.
What did the owner operators do, leave the state?
How can they have such a law?
There's some real irony in that. The San Francisco longshoremen union refused to install cranes to handle containers in San Francisco. They preferred that their workers empty the holds the old-fashioned way with cranes lowering rigging and nets into the ship holds, one small load at a time.
It wasn't long before every shipping company had left San Fran and went across the bay to Oakland which embraced efficient containerized shipping in a big way. San Fran shipping never recovered after that debacle.
Savannah is.
Don’t know about the others...
Who owns/runs the Ports , the Chinese Communist Party ?
