#1 the government would work to solve supply chain issues, especially at American ports where ships are forced to wait in offshore traffic before they can get unloaded.

..except in Florida.

Last week, the Florida Ports Council put out a press release telling shippers that the state’s ports are open, staffed, and ready for business. “Florida is where your success comes in, and our seaports are the solution to ensure the cargo shipping logjam doesn’t become the grinch that stole Christmas,” said Florida Ports Council President and CEO Michael Rubin. He added, “With inflation growing, shipping and manufacturing industries can save time and money by calling on Florida ports. Why pay to moor off the coast of California, when Florida shipping lanes are open and serving as the gateway for getting goods to America’s market?”

#5 Remember - California passed AB 5, which eliminated owner-operators truckers.

You may unload in CA, but its just another delay finding a trucker to haul it from port.

#7 We are not the postal service
ummmmm....

Any rate, it is the red tape and regulations, which government is.

Perhaps, dear readers, you have noticed that during an emergency, such as a gasoline pipeline shutting down, the quickest and most effective move is suspending trucking regulations.

#8 You may unload in CA, but its just another delay finding a trucker to haul it from port.

How bad is it?

Shipping China to USA is heading to the East Coast.

Oh, and legislation being introduced to ban cargo ships for 180 days.

So Gov is far from trying to solve this, they are actively making it worse.

#9 You know you could have avoided a lot of this by manufacturing in the US. Just saying.
