Inflation is forever.
CA is enjoying a $25B budget shortfall. It will only get worse as the tempo of companies and people leaving rises.
It will be the realities of other peoples’ money that will educate them.
California will be a much better state when all the illegals take over state politics and put an end to the Marxist hippie rule. At least the illegals know what a women is, drink beer and pump gas/oil.
Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas are wide open for shipping from Asia if the traffic is willing to go through the Panama Canal. They don’t all have to stop at Long Beach.
Yes there going to need more fire departments too.

Why wait that long. Ban them today. Shut down the ports. Ships can dock north or south of CA and diesel trucks can move items to everywhere but CA. There’s an idea. Dock in Mexico and their people can stay in Mexico. Naw, that’d mean they’d have jobs rather than to collecting freebies in the US.
Ports need to be privatized. All of them. There is no reason why they ought to be national property and we see the abuse of government against the people using nationalized systems.
The battery pack in the New Hummer H3 weighs over 3,000 pounds to move a 9,000 pound vehicle. The gross vehicle weight of a typical tractor-trailer combination is 20 tons or so. How much cargo weight will have to be forfeited in order to allow for the added weight of the battery pack, which will surely be several tons or so?

An EV typically weighs 40% more than a comparable ICE vehicle, due to the weight of the battery pack. Don’t forget to factor in the increased wear on tires, infrastructure and roads, bridges, etc., along with the concomitant maintenance needs and further damage to Mother Earth Gaia as a result...
Much of our governing elites are beyond belief stupid and reckless.
Teams of elephants. Slow but steady coast to coast.
If the USA was self sufficient in manufacturing then we’d not need to worry about ports at all.
