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.
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).
