Here's what I don't understand;...supposedly the Port of Los Angeles and others are jammed up due to Covid protocols to protect personnel from working in close confines with each other and spreading the infection, and this has resulted in inefficiency. And infected and unvaccinated employees are kept away, limiting the labor force. Ok,...fine. That all seems reasonable.


BUT,....

Why is it just us?

For instance in Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe,...there is nothing like this going on. Freight has been slowed a bit, sure, but NOTHING like this schit show over here.

The shipping companies don't get paid until the freight is unloaded. Why do they tolerate their ships waiting offshore ?

You would think the blue state west coast would cooperate with the
Biden admin or maybe they are cooperating ?

This isn't some weird coincidence, it's planned, and has been for some time.

"A group of international transport organizations issued a chilling warning of the potential collapse of supply chains in the coming months, and they’re asking world leaders to do something to avert what could be a catastrophe."

DeSantis Offers the Solution to Supply-Chain Issues Newsom Has Exacerbated
Florida leaders say California is no longer the most efficient way to move goods to the East Coast or even the Midwest. They say Florida is the answer.

“Why pay to moor off the coast of California, when Florida shipping lanes are open and serving as the gateway for getting goods to America’s market,” Rubin said in a press release.

Rubin says Florida has invested in infrastructure to increase port capacity. Earlier this year, Gov. Ron DeSantis directed $250 million of stimulus money to Florida’s 15 seaports to help offset pandemic impacts.

“Florida is open for business, and we are the solution to help resolve the global supply chain crisis,” Rubin added. “Instead of waiting off the coast of California, cargo vessels can offload and move their product to Florida and other discretionary markets in the same time it takes to find space in an increasingly congested California.”

So far, its just the little things. But the little things add up.

A friend of mine ordered a particular propane-fueled generator 5 months ago. He specifically selected a made-in-the-USA model to avoid the shortages that have been plaguing Chinese origin products. He was told it would be delivered in 2 months. But "Made-In-The-USA", legally speaking, still allows for a certain percentage of foreign parts. And wouldn't you know it, here he is 5 months later and only now getting the generator he was promised would arrive 3 months ago because the few crucial Chinese parts were unavailable to complete assembly.
