| Queue of Ships at Long Beach/LA is gone: recession in progress |
| 2022-09-23 |
| [BruceWilds] As of Sept. 21, 2021, there were 132 cargo ships at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Dozens of container ships were anchored or adrift off the coast. As of Aug 30, 2022, that number has dwindled to only 8 ships waiting off Southern California. The end of goods backing up in ports on the west coast is a sign we are moving on. Danielle DiMartino Booth recently stated, "We have never seen the collapse of the magnitude that we are witnessing in imports. That is always a tail-tale sign that you are already looking through the rear-view mirror at recession." |

| #5 thanks to Beavis and Skid the Savannah numbers seem to suggest some re-routing of cargo but its impossible to tell how much yes the expanded panama canal has helped make more re-routing possible but the canal expansion was almost all completed by 2018 so |

| #2 procopius good point =- almost certainly some of the disappearing queue is due to shipping to Gulf and Atlantic ports but I can't find a good data source to quantify this |
