LA Ports have periodically been a mess for the last 10+ years. They underwent a couple strikes, then covid, then the post-covid boom, and now a bust and another strike.
Add to that 1000 permanent woke Government rules on truckers, emissions, work hours, etc.... and its nearly guaranteed - relying on LA Port will screw up your supply chains
I would expect Mexico to put up a massive port.
Even with whatever level of bribes, graft and theft it would be massively cheaper and faster to get goods into central and west US.
With the LA/LB issues, it seems like a huge long term win.
Hell.. the cartels could fund it and they’d have a huge win all around.
