re: Supply chains. Nothing is being done about it.

Sounds like some of y'all forgot Trump EO #13848
And as to why DeSantis hasn't allowed FL ports to take the shipments?
It's just speculation, but this tracks. It may not be his call:

Supply chains. Nothing is being done about it.
Biden said the docks in California were working 24/7 to alleviate the backlog. Just yesterday I saw a Fox reporter there who talked to a dock supervisor and he said they are only working one shift because there is either no truckers or no warehouse space to hold the items.
Someone is lying. I’ll let you figure out who that is!

Question, is the sole issue transportation on the chain, but also the production of said goods?
This is what happens when you shut an economy down for several months.
Among other things. Our ports are ALWAYS at near capacity. They function much like Airports. Imagine going to O'Hare and just forcing them to reduce their ability to handle air traffic by 50% for say, a month. But, the planes keep coming and when they arrive, they are able to somehow just circle above and wait.
If you then moved O'Hare back to full capacity, you are STILL gonna have planes circling for a damned long time!!!
Then, yeah. Covid "safety" restrictions have fricked up all sorts of production activities. We could probably sit here on this board and discover 30-40 things being impacted..........ALL AT ONCE.........and in a completely unnatural manner.
THIS is why you don't do the fricked up shite in the first place.

Yup. Everything is fricked, not just the ports.
- Production is fricked
- Maintenance is fricked
- Transportation is fricked
- Labor force is fricked
- Energy supply is fricked in some areas
- Nobody wants to work
- Government doesn't want anything to work
Pay everyone to stay home and shut everything down... duh. Things won't get to Walmart or Amazon.
If you have a government that doesn't want commerce to work... well, its not going to work.

Everyone is getting fricked by this. We may be the most incompetent ones, but our incompetence will kill people in the Third World. Rwanda is landlocked. That’s bad for them if we’re fricked

A good long-term solution is to quit buying cheap crap from China. But, I know neither the D's or R's will be for that. Our government loves them some China.

Maybe some frequent fliers can answer this about airports since I haven't flown in a long time.
I read that almost 40% of ATF inspectors have not complied with mandatory vaccination. They have about 2 more weeks before something happens ...like being fired or suspended without pay.
My question...would the absence of 1/3 of them be really inconvenient or just add a few minutes to your departure?

Its been hammered (imports) for 50-60 years, nobody cares, until they care.
Europe is all pissed off at Putin, what they really should be doing is jumping off the bridge... they fricked themselves.

Last Spring and Summer, I spoke to actual human beings who were otherwise intelligent that genuinely thought that shutting down shite all over America for several months was no big deal and that when it was over, we'd just all declare and end and go back to normal.
They literally could not even think of any long term impacts of such action. They looked at me like I had a pineapple coming out of my neck.

We don't need supply chains. We need bread lines.

Now, if you want to blame Republicans in this debacle, you can fully blame them for creating an environment and incentives that sent our businesses and manufacturing capabilities overseas... That would stick to them a little better...
They could also talk honestly to the American people and cut through the Leftist crap and get middle America on board a plan to push the Left harder, and to stop them from holding the country hostage.
You know, the whole way it's supposed to work. Not enough kickbacks in that business though.
Republicans have no spine, no ability to stand up to the press and talk TO the American people. And they don't want to because there's no business in solving problems.

Cool. Your "solution" would possibly impact us by 2025.

The solution if this continues will work itself out naturally - a massive write down of the unfunded walking liabilities i.e. rapid decrease of population.

The left and people in general just have no fricking ability whatsoever to contemplate ancillary effects of policy.
If you propose to spend X doing Y, the ONLY thing people can see is X and Y. Not a fricking one of them wonders about Z. And when Z happens, they genuinely are flabbergasted. And when you tell them, "well, ya know, I kinda told you that you should worry about Z".......they come back at you with, "no one could have possibly foreseen this.....you just got lucky"

Guess you just didn't even read the "long-term" part. I was posting about what we need to do going forward.
Right now? We need to get people to work. Also, they need to do a quick analysis on the cost/benefit of moving ships around to Florida. Seems on the surface it is just too far out of the way, but how much fuel are those ships wasting tooling around waiting?

Reset will happen, but I think it will happen before previously thought. People just don't care until the food is gone at Walmart, the Amazon driver doesn't show up, or Netflix doesn't work. (by that time, its too late)
We're not there yet, but rapidly going down the path.

All those ships are operated by people who are absolute freakishly expert in logistics and if they knew of an option that was feasible to get those ships unloaded and headed back for their next load, that option would ALREAY be getting used.

Exactly. When that happens, that is when people stop being nice and get real.
