Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced he will be awarding $450 million in taxpayer-funded grants in an effort to unclog U.S. ports as the supply chain crisis continues.

The transportation industry has remained unstable, and this has forced Americans to face increased prices and empty shelves at grocery stores and other retailers.

Another idiotic move

“Another idiotic move...”

Not completely. If the real reason the supply line is being artificially disrupted got out, this move is a perfect assistance to it and moving money into the fed coffers.

One more, this time from Colombia...

‘I’ll never be ready for this port,’ locals say of Colombia’s proposed project The proposed deepwater port at Tribugá would be the first on Colombia’s Pacific coast; the concept has been repeatedly brought up and shelved since 1953, mostly over environmental concerns.

The bastard helped clog them.
