California the manual on how to get everything wrong.

The only good thing that came out of California was the law you can make a right turn on a red light.

Autonomous trucking is already operating. They still need a butt in the seat. Those asses just won’t be paid as well as now.

[Mariner]

No loads destined for CA ports have ever been diverted to Mobile.

Ever.

Different trade flows.

[Tell It Right]

Maybe no loads already en route to Commifornia have been diverted to Mobile. But there's definitely been cargo traffic that had changes of destination in place before leaving the point of origin.

Union commies know exactly the outcome of insane legislation - they piss on the country. The ‘Golden State’ stinks...

Florida’s bidding for a piece of the action too... California’s too stupid to be trusted with shipping that impacts the country’s economy. They can’t be trusted.

[T.B. Yoits]

Retailers can't get the stuff they have ordered in, so they aren't placing more orders.

I've been there.

Purchase Order 1: Fulfilled. Items are On-Hand; in the warehouses and on the store shelves
Purchase Order 2: Open. Items in transit from the manufacturer.
Purchase Order 3: Not yet written. Quantities on this will not exceed Demand/Forecast minus On-Hand and In-Transit

Repeat as necessary...

I don’t know if the Gulf of California can take container ships, but putting a container terminal on the Sonora side of the Gulf, and connecting it with rail lines and highways into Arizona would be a no-brainer

Many ports on the eastern U.S. are getting extra traffic.

Don't forget the Panama Canal recently (maybe a decade ago) being redrudged to be deeper for the larger cargo ships. Then it was a race for eastern U.S. ports to see who could drudge their ports first to start bringing them to their port.

The big boy retailers saw the congestion build up at California years ago and started building up a transportation infrastructure as a backup independent of California. Plus there's an issue with some manufacturing exports building up some in the eastern half of the U.S. (might as well drop imports from Asia at a port in the eastern half of the U.S. and pick up exports going to India).

The beauty of capitalism is it's not top down - thousands of minds are working out future solutions and adding flexibility while ports like LA's were still 'functioning.'... Florida's Port Tampa Bay is deep water and ready for business - good highways and interstate connections, and close to railroads. Dropping off Asian goods and on to India is a selling point. Thanks for the insights Tell It Right.

California's stupidity is helping Alabama thrive.

Thats good news...I'm near Huntsville...just up I65 from Mobile. Still cant abide liberal dems.

[Lucky2]

The wall needs to be built around California and let it rot. .

Some RVers prefer pre-2010 units over later models for same reason.

What’s this Exhaust Fluid I have heard about??

[trebb]

To bwest - the guy who thinks it's stupid to fight the dems and when a man responds - his "argument is, "it's stupid"

When the man first responds to bwest's inane arguments, bwest smugly informs him "abuse has been reported"

When the man responds again, letting him know what a Karen he bwest is, and bwest hasn't a cogent argument, he impugns the man's service and claims the man must have been dishonorably discharged as his "argument".

When the man tells bwest how he was honored by men and women of the 3 services that worked for him by implementing traditions from Army, Navy and Air Force into his retirement and suggests that bwest find a set of balls so maybe he isn't so prone to having his juvenile feelings hurt.

bwest responds via a private mail because he knows he's insufficient to the task and is afraid to let the rest see how childish he is - and in the private mail bwest impugns the man's wife

bwest's private mail:

Re: Articles of Impeachment Accusing President Biden of ‘Treason’ Have Been Introduced in the House

From bwest | 10/25/2021 9:28:19 AM PDT new

Find my balls? Your wife found my balls! She told me that she never wants your balls again. Then she corrected herself and said that you HAD no balls!

Loser.

I'm sure bwest will now report me because it's what juvenile cowards do - was I "mean" to the juvenile, pusillanimous mamma's boy - sure - because I believe that tolerance for such is just an abdication of principles and convictions. Little did I know I would expose another child pretending to be a man.

The interstate commerce rules prevent this California overreach..

This is a conspiracy between the Pelosi Newsome gang and the leftist Obama Biden gang to take down the country.
