Supply Chains Implode As "Price Doesn’t Even Matter Anymore"

Shipping from Asia is insane right now with astronomical freight rates, container shortages and a backlog of products. What a mess

The number of container ships stuck at anchor off Los Angeles and Long Beach is down to around 20 per day, from 30 a few months ago. Does this mean the capacity crunch in the trans-Pacific market is finally easing? Absolutely not, warned Nerijus Poskus, vice president of global ocean at freight forwarder Flexport. “It’s not getting better. It’s getting worse,” he told American Shipper in an interview on Monday.
“What I’m seeing is unprecedented. We are seeing a tsunami of freight,” he reported.
quote:
“Buckle up. The month of May will be the worst people have ever seen,” he predicted. Because some shippers will have to wait in line behind the growing backlog in Asia, he expects “what’s going to happen soon is that some importers won’t even be able to get on the boat. For them, it will almost feel like trade is coming to a halt.”

Should do everything possible to move manufacturing here as Trump wanted
But China Joe has already reversed that policy

Would be nice if we started manufacturing our needs here again so we didn't need to worry about waiting in line behind Asian markets (who I don't blame for prioritizing themselves).

If only there were a country on this side of the ocean where we could manufacture products so we wouldn't be dependent on Chi na for goods.

I just don't understand why we haven't built a bridge to China yet.

So, is this the shite en route to the fan?

Took the words out my mouth.
We have people who need work.
We have places that need business.
But China Joe has decided keeping American jobs home is irrelevant.

Imagine if that fricking absurd injection in to M1 was a joint public-private investment in to strategic manufacturing capacity.
Who am I kidding, it's not like the shite would work anyway.

I agree, but a big issue with this is on our end too. The ports are just a disaster right now, especially Long Beach. I think yesterday or Monday was the first time is quite a while they dropped below 20 ships just sitting out waiting to come in. New York is having a ton of issues too.
It is an absolute mess right now.

The best way to reverse this is to reduce regulation, reduce pay, and reduce benefits. Who's game?

We do? We have jobs going unfilled because Americans are too lazy to do them.

This is what happens when you make unemployment benefits more than survival money...
