Not to worry, Biden has a Port Czar

[Thinker101]

Biden on Wednesday praised his “port envoy” John Porcari for doing a “heck of job”. In his typical "style" Biden doesn't know the Port Czar's name.

Where I live there are no shortages.

Hardly, but you may jest all you like to continue to wail like a four year old girl told no to a new doll.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

A friend's sister in law is expecting so Pocari will be taking two months off soon.

Why didn't Biden just task Harris with solving the problem...then send her off to Timbuktu?

Then get high..I think I will tot even though it's a little early.

Not sure if she'd be able to find Timbuktu.

so they don't exist anywhere then?

Are all of America's ports jammed up? Or is it just in a handful of ports? Maybe if some of the cargo could be diverted from New York to Erie, PA or Jacksonville FL (example given)?

again, it's funny how you think your home is like the rest of america.

dude, the cargo is sitting on the docks waiting to be transported. They actually had the nerve to blame that on a shortage of truck drivers. I live near a rail line, and the amount of containers that traverse the rails hourly is astounding. They are intentionally holding the inventory at the docks. They could load them on trains and move it out so other ships could dock.

She would look at Biden with a puzzled look and ask, "Which TWO do I need to F*?"

Yup and trains travel all over the US. They have lines everywhere.

It started with Long Beach/LA. Then they were so jammed up, shippers started using other ports and those are starting to get bogged down in the gulf and on the east coast because of all the extra cargo that exceeds their normal capacity.

It gets a bit more complicated. Shipping by rail tends to be more expensive and is typically limited to freight that needs to be shipped further distances. If not mistaken 35% of the containers coming to L.A. will leave by rail. Trucks are more cost effective on short trips and can go more places. While there is a truck driver shortage across the country, it's even worse in California. Couple years ago most truck drivers were independent contractors, then CA passed AB5 which said they had to become employees...which helped create the current backlog at ports.

It seems those who hate the Democratic Party, or both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have no solution to anything, and that is their strength. The author of this thread is an example of these whiners who would critique President Biden for the wrong color of his tie or that he stutters.

What would thinker do, magically wave his limp wrist to fix all that is wrong? Does he have all the facts and all the experience to immediately fix what has been going on for years, even decades?

The evidence is that Social Media - and this includes the USMB - allows anyone with the ability to turn on a computer to express their opinions, sans any education, experience or expertise on the issues of the day.
