Port of Houston handles mostly petroleum.

Last year a supply specialist said that in the past ship would follow a schedule like an airline. If the ship was not full to capacity it would leave port to go to the USA.

Since the pandemic the schedule is thrown out and the ship won't leave until it is 100% full.




Well you're wrong because Buttplug said this:

"the U.S. supply chain is only strained because of President Joe Biden's success in guiding the country out of a recession."


Or are you going to say Buttplug is lying you are right?

Florida is open for business and Florida ports are ready to help America’s supply chain backlog.
My Administration is showing our commitment to America’s supply chain with investments and action.
We have already seen ships re-route to Florida and look forward to accommodating even more.

Our governor is doing a damn fine job! I'm glad we didn't end up with the liberal, gay, meth-head from tallahasee.

The conventional wisdom is that the virus is the reason for stalled container ships off the California coast.

Problem # 1

California's new laws are not mentioned. Trucks with engines built before 2011 are not allowed in the container off load area and drivers must be 21 years of age now, no longer just 18.

To solve the truck problem, California mandated that older trucks be replaced with electric trucks (which don't exist yet).

Half of the nation's truckers are now prohibited from picking up containers in California. You don't hear about that of course.

In an effort to solve the problem, California compliant trucks have been taking shipments to the state border, where the load is transferred to non-compliant trucks. This has just built another bottleneck.

Problem # 2

California's new law AB-5 killed the gig economy. Traditionally, ports are served by owner operators. AB-5 banned owner operators who are not union. So, there just aren't nearly enough trucks to handle the job. Biden's grandstanding about operating the ports 24/7 won't make a difference.

The unions win and the Democrats win, but you still won't get your Christmas presents. Does any of this surprise you ?

Liberals **** up everything they touch.

Simple solution..... bypass california. I'm sure another state would love to have the shipping industry operating within its borders.

That leaves Oregon and Washington to receive Asian shipping on the Pacific coast.

Like the problem of China being "factory to the world" you gotta start putting some eggs into a few other baskets.

Texas is centrally located, has a favorable legislative climate, and plenty of Mexican truckers ready and waiting for work - someone with half a brain could expand the ports there and make a killing.

Yeah, the Panama Canal is a bottleneck, but it's still faster than what's going on right now off San Pedro.
