Total BS to blame a crane operator. This article seems fabricated and a distraction from the true source of the problem…Brandon. No crane operator would purposefully take 3-4h on one container, that’s a stupid angle to take. Those guys are skilled and professional and take pride in their work. They’d rather crank the ships in and out as fast as possible than milk each lift. This article makes no sense. Also, if it were about crane operators, they’d be coming from all ends of the earth to make a little extra and work in LA to fix the problem.

You sound very delusional. I’m sure you’ve never seen the outside of an office

Bush lied, people died

Leave it to the mental midgets to create a bumper sticker slogan for "I have no idea what the problem is, but I sure as frick know who to blame!" each election cycle...

There are shitty unions representing workers up and down the food chain. My point is it’s dumb that they write an article making crane operators scapegoats. This problem far exceeds a guy in a crane at a dock. Don’t eat the cheese. In the middle of covid we saw nurses fly everywhere because “overwhelmed hospitals” yet we’re supposed to believe some guy in a crane in LA is taking 3 hours per container and that’s why store shelves are empty? Ok, then, go and blame the convenience store clerk for $4 gas too.

It’s not just about this, it’s all endemic of our money being worth less.

Hyperinflation is coming

I agree. Believe me, if I knew a logical way to pin it on Biden, I would. I don’t, so I won’t.

Their time is almost up anyway. China has already gone to robotic cranes.

Because the state standards are unreasonable. We were in trouble as soon as we started blaming cow farts for made up climate change.

What I’ve learned from this whole thing is everybody who works at the ports are way overpaid and work less than they should. The ports not being open 24/7 like they are in the rest of the world is a good example

The progressive answer will be to reduce the number of ships coming to US ports to prevent a backlog.

Fire the stupid overpaid security guard!!!!! Reeeeeeeee! Everyone makes too much money when they work!!! Fire them!!!! Reeeeee!!!!!
