The Long Beach Port Backup isn’t being discussed here?

[MenacingMonk]

This is the reason prices are increasing. There at least 100k containers backed up and 700k on the sea.

Been going on for like 2 months.

 

[DropTopDoc]

What’s going on??

 

[Taadow]

We discussed that like 2 weeks ago Cocksucker, beat it...


EDIT - you’re prolly a good guy, but you don’t get many great opportunities to use “Cocksucker beat it”. I’m sorry. Blessings.

Wonder why those ships aren’t being rerouted to Houston, Baltimore, NYC, Norfolk, etc.

Non-career too

They not tryna invest for real. A lot of those positions are getting laid off as soon as they clear the ports.

That’d require a Panama Canal transit, then aint cheap

Not necessarily true..

BTW, there is no layoffs..

What would happen is that the casual (part time) workers will get less work once things get back to normal...

If anything, it will take many years (like decade or longer) for them to become full time...

 

[Mowgli]

The workers aren't feeling the mandates. Theyre asking Joe to chill until the supply chain is unclogged. I guess.

Maybe they need to call Bezos

So they’d pretty much get laid off then

I think also the problem is not enough drivers to drive the shyt (cargo) off the piers when it's unloaded.
