Well, there’s NO other explanation! This is CLEARLY Trump’s fault! *SMIRK*
Let’s Go, Brandon!
We’re so screwed.
I couldn’t get through the article. Isn’t the backup because a trucker strike protesting the California law requiring new truckers to pick up freight?
It is not straightforward to quantify port queues, and thus conducive to manipulation.
Want a smaller queue? Just lower the number of ships allowed within the distance that qualifies as a queue - some ships will have to anchor further away.
Same number of ships waiting to unload, only more or less dispersed.
Container shipping from Europe to our East coast has remained fairly favorable throughout the entire pandemic. The trains for moving containers across the country have been a nightmare though.
Most of it Chicom crap.
It’s all so Atlas Shrugged.
Where the hell is FudgeButt?
Isn’t it his job to correct problems like this?
Buttplugger is doing such a great job as Secretary of Transportation I can see why he thinks he should be President.
We are now beginning the hurricane season - lasting in the real world from August through October, and ranging across the entire Gulf Coast and Southern East Coast.
Now, forecast what will happen to these record backups nationally when each of the Houston and Texas section, the New Orleans to Mobile AL section, Pensacola to Miami and then Miami to Savanah sections are each closed for one week before a hurricane, and two weeks after each hurricane.
Long Beach, Portland and San Diego at least face no Pacific hurricanes. Seems like Ole Pete Transportation Department Buttigeg hasn’t planned for their affects on the south and east coasts. The good news is that there is near zero chance every port will be significantly damaged at the same time. But some damage is near certain someplace. Delays and losses certain.
At sea, the long slow transition of ships from China’s Panama Canal to these ports will be slowed as well as those in transit slow and avoid storm surge and winds.
Buttplug is way to busy selling EVs to worry about things like this
I keep looking for some of those teams of Rambo type warriors to come in and straighten this out and remove the bad guys causing this misery to humanity. Instead the only fight we have is rigged elections and wimp corrupt leaders.
Sometimes we need something to happen just like in the movies.
You know if you dig down deep enough you’ll find the feds at the bottom of this.
But how? How are the feds and Butterbutt causing this port traffic jam?
This will get interesting. Shipping increases significantly from August into December.
