West Coast shippers lock-out

[standardparts]

I think you're absolutely right about that. And it's appalling. I hear all this shit about the Free Press but where are they when you need them ?

Does China have a "Free Press"?

 

[standardparts]

It would be really nice if someone disinterested would just evaluate what the hell is happening. I also wonder about Customs. Last month mailed a package to Canada. I can walk there in ten minutes. Package took three days to get to Canada (okay) then three weeks to go the next five miles. What the eff ?

All these articles by twats trying to pin the blame on their favorite nemesis are worse than useless. Let's find out wtf is actually happening.

Various sources place the backlog at up to 200,000 containers. Wonder what kind of inspection/security is in place. Most likely security is as screwed up also.

BTW..And just a reminder that on October 13th Democrat Biden announced the southern California ports would be going to a 24/7 schedule. Wonder how that is working out?

Frosting on the cake, so to speak, is that American Airlines canceled thousands of flight. Lack of staff and weather to blame. Word is AA lacks flight crews. GO VAX MANDATES!

I think maybe you are on some sort of list and they are diverting your mail and inspecting it EG.

They are going subscription now EG we will have to pay. Try the AP though they are still fair.

Does China have a "Free Press"?

Some sort of .... news travels faster than light through the underground. And it's usually pretty accurate.

But they don't have ships lined up offshore or any shortages to report, either. I can't see much advantage to this free press thingy if they can't manage to do their job.

"maybe?"

By the way..

Are you a Turtle?

Well no. He asked wth was going on and all. Given his angst toward so many things I do think he might attract attention. With the mails often it is likened to a snail.

As far as this case is concerned EG definitely does not have a brittle snail shell yet the hard shell of a turtle is a accurate comparison. Every now and then he will stop trudging and simply draw into his shell.

It is a pretty good way to do things since he is set in his ways it is much easier and productive just to take a break even for just five days. A turtle receives a lot less complaints than the mail system. The mailman / woman could use a turtle shell his /her own selves.

 

[Rob F.]

Here is a guy who focuses on shipping discussing what is being proposed to "solve" the problem of too many ships waiting to unload. The proposed answer is to move all the waiting ships 150 miles off shore so nobody can see them
He also goes into how the gates are CLOSED on sat night and all of sundays - what about 24-7??
Ships also come to wait at anchor without having set up any scheduled unloading.
Informative report, he has many other vids on his page

Here he mentions congestion is bad in Singapore and spreading in Asia, congestion is not just in SoCal or USA:

His newest vid talking about why the backlog & how port of LA was warned 6 yrs ago this was going to happen:

Ive got a much simpler cure....all the Christmas gift crap can be sent to landfill in China,instead of being shipped to the US.for landfill.

 

[EmGo]

Ships also come to wait at anchor without having set up any scheduled unloading.

So much for credibility. Anyone who has ever shipped a container knows that the ship has a scheduled arrival time before it even leaves.

Just more mouthy crap. I'm still waiting for a factual analysis by someone with an analytical brain.

p.s. worthless prick-wit-eahs can go jump. His garbage video slammed my cpu to 100%, had to kill -9 and come back. Eat shit and die, asshole.

Agree! But certainly China crap lands in Australia?

Doesn't seem to be a problem getting ships loaded in China, just getting them unloaded in America. Too bad the rethuglicans are so anti-vax and the corona is still wiping out Americans thanks to their resistance to common sense... it's keeping our economy in a constant struggle.

Actually the problem seems to be getting ships unloaded in Democrat run California ports.
California-Cluster-Fuck of epic proportions.

But Wallmart have no shortages???

Ill never know. I don't do walmart.

Just like I don't do Bank of America, or G.M.

I avoid them like the plague.

Shop Local.

 

[thermite]

Agree to shop local - point I was making is the CEO of Wallmart was saying how everything is stocked and they got their own ships.
So all I meant was, how come they can just get ships just like that?
And how come they can also unload them....when there's "a bit of a Port blockage"....?

If they're (Wallmart) okay with no problems, I guess other BigCo's are also okay?
So is it the Mom and Pops that are suffering?

F**k's sake. The initial entry problem mostly affects the Demonraticstan Soviet Socialist Rude-pube-licks!

We move as much containerized cargo through Port of Virginia as LA moves!
And that was BEFORE we purged the kommie-looter ass-rapists.

"The wise" have been avoiding the Left Coast ports for Donkey's Years, already. Union thing. From waaaay TF back. Long before containers yet existed.

They (and we) are at the bottom of the list!

Check the top ten:

• Leading U.S. ports - by tonnage | Statista

Sum-up Houston, Corpus Christi, and Beaumont?
Texas total alone dwarfs the rest combined.

Still "American", Texas is.

Not Left Bum-f**k, Bidentstan SSR .. and crumbling..

California port management ought to bring in the looters who can clean out retail stores so fast the coppers can't even catch them.
Back to the old days when East coast unions took a slice of everything they offloaded.

Well in LA they are cutting out the middle man and looting cargo containers. "Supply Chains Threatened As Thieves Hit Cargo Shipments"

If they are breaking into cargo containers on a train why has the FBI not stepped in? If they operate in groups it is a RICO violation. Several years in a federal pen tends to stop repeat offenders.

So i watched a clip from the CEO of Wallymart yesterday, and he's all proud saying we used our own ships to stock up for black Friday.
So Christmas will be good at Wallymart too then.
Perhaps it's just the small Mom and Pops that won't be able to get stock and then go out of business.
But Wallymart will be fine.
Globalist plan....???

I believe it was bush 41 that called it the "new world order".

Maybe they should unload those ships in Wisconsin. Last I knew California was a blue state. Pretty much all ports are in Democrat cities. Not really looking like it's going to change soon either so get used to it.

Ever notice that those Democrat cities that you always bitch about are where the work gets done?
