^ ^ ^ (to mitigate feeding a troll) ok, a reply to wasa bista>>>You can’t complain that an entire political party (yours, wasa bista) is actively sabotaging all efforts to get this virus under control is in any way the fault of the party trying its best against fierce headwinds to get this virus under control. Kamala was correct in that if all Americans would have stepped up to the plate and had done what is necessary to get this virus under control, then it would have already been under control. Please don’t blame others for what you yourself, or others of your ilk, are responsible for.
Idiot Puppet Biden has no idea that he is ruining America. Puppet Biden is none other than The Piped Piper of Hamelin for Marxist Disciple Democrats. Marxist Disciple Democrats will sheepishly follow their messiah Puppet Biden to make one final leap over a cliff.
When Trump dumped the responsibility for solving the COVID response problem upon the states, Trumpers cheered… when Biden does the same thing, Trumpers are infuriated…
It’s a fact. West Coast port congestion is a serious issue for all kinds of importers. The congestion is being caused by a perfect storm of conditions, from capacity limits to logistical bottlenecks. Importers and shippers might be able to avoid West Coast port congestion by redistributing cargo to other ports, using better demand planning strategies, and working with a strategic importing partner.
SHIPPING CONTAINERS are the backbone of global trade. These large corrugated vessels are essential in transport overseas, via rail, and even down highways. However, like many kinds of essential equipment in 2021, shipping containers are currently in very scarce supply.
Another factor leading to West Coast port congestion? Reduced TRUCKLOAD CAPACITY. What does domestic truckload capacity have to do with shipments getting stuck and causing problems at ports? A lot.
If shippers can’t find trucks to move items away from ports, they get backed up and linger there. This means there isn’t room for more shipments coming in and creates an ongoing backlog, leading to even more problems with port congestion.
Year-over-year numbers from Supply Chain Dive indicate that IMPORTS WERE UP 23% at the Port of Los Angeles in December 2021 when compared to December 2020. The Port of Long Beach had similar year-over-year numbers, up 26%. Long Beach and Los Angeles are the only ports reporting a surge, as this trend is seen nationwide.
How bad are the BOTTLENECKS? According to information from the Pacific Merchants Association, a quarter of all shipments coming into West Coast ports are simply sitting there for more than 5 days.
These dwell times are stemming from a LABOR SHORTAGES. Port workers simply can’t keep up with the increased volume of imports. Truckload capacity problems aren’t helping, either, as sometimes containers just sit until a truck can come to move them.
Where were your criticisms when trump was in office and trying to screw up the country, hmm Comrade Bok? Oh that’s right, you did not want to insult your republigoon overseers and masters did you.
Thanks for letting us know how big a hypocrite you are, Bok. But it was totally unnecessary, we already knew.
