as well as the "Standardized Shipping Container"...

So we improve the US economy by legislating that shipping containers be a bunch of different sizes?

I am of the opinion that Liberalism and Democrats destroyed manufacturing in America through inane policy...

But the Standardized Shipping Container is what made it POSSIBLE...

Load one up in a Central Chinese province, roll it to a flatcar, that rolls down a 120MPH Railway to the coast, put it on a big boat with 2,000 other containers, and unload it at your local Walmart in 3 short weeks without ever having another human hand touch the stuff...

The efficiency of transport is what makes outsourcing POSSIBLE, but Leftist policy is what makes it PROFITABLE...
