U.S. shipping ports are seeing record numbers and the traffic congestion is not expected to subside until mid-summer 2022, according to leaders of some of the busiest ports in America.

August was the busiest recorded month since the tracking began in 2002 with 2.37 million 20-foot shipping containers, and an estimated 25.9 million containers are expected to break the record of 22 million set in 2020, ( The Wall Street Journal) reported Sunday.

[snip]"The traffic at the ports is complicated by shortages of truck drivers and warehouse workers to reduce congestion, according to C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. CEO Bob Biesterfeld, who leads the largest freight broker in North America.">

"The Powers That Be" were also warned about leaving Afghanistan the way Biden and his comrades did .... they were ALL WARNED early on in 2020 & again in 2021.

...surely somebody (s) with intelligence are in charge of the USA....Can Americans ever forgive the propaganda of "Never Trumpers" or can the "Never Trumpers" see what disasters they have caused their country starting with BLM and antifa both a Communist ploy and terrorism...onto dismantling America's history; onto, the woke and gender identity and CRT mess; that Covid has become an opportunity rather than a true pandemic; betrayal to American citizens, our allies and our friends in Afghanistan; equipping the Taliban with billions of military equipment including 109 Helicopters ....... Good Heavens, what were our CinC and his commanders in the field and the Pentagon and our Congress and Senate thinking about...wokeness? what gender they are?

Sorry Biden, there is no way your feckless in handling this fiasco of leaving Afghanistan will ever be O.K. or you as POTUS will ever be recognized. As Commander in Chief you are a total failure and frankly, disgusting.

Continued delays and shortages of many items.

Retailers say it is already to late for Christmas stocks to arrive on time.

I'll probably wind-up giving Christian themed cards and gift-cards for Christmas this year.

In or out? In? In.

If only our government was interested in moving "the supply chain" back on shore.

Remember all the cars that can't ship because they don't have chips? The chips all come from a couple of factories?

If only our government was interested in moving the supply chain back on shore.

So let’s return all of those containers from China, return to sender. We shouldn’t be buying from a communist enemy in the first place. It’s time to wean ourself off of this commerce which is only funding the Chinese military and communist government.

You think life is hard now, wait until the shelves are almost empty and they are charging $17 for a jar of peanuts because the supply chain has been choked to death.

Welcome to Biden American. Work harder while seeing a 30% inflation rate make what you earn worth even less and less and less in purchasing power

Maybe instead of shipping all of our Southern border crossers all across the country, they should have taken them to California to offload those ships and cart goods across the country. There is no shortage of Spanish speakers new to these parts.

Bull market for dock workers, intermodal handlers, and long haul truckers.

And under what authority do you propose this? It's a legal contract between two parties.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the sentiment, just not the sollution.

We'll probably catch up during "The Golden Week". We still need to get back on track with the principle problem which is a reliance on foreign sources and manufacturing.

Hasn't Biden already done that?

I read all U.S. GM plants are shutting down next week because of lack of computer chips to finish building vehicles.
