And now are in damage control. First step to solving a problem is admitting you have a problem. Fortunately a cable TV pundit called out the Secretary of Transportation last week. And then poof! On Sunday Buttigieg is on TV acknowledging the issue. That's a start.

True. People aren't aware that they blocked all the independent drivers....

the issue isn't the docks, it's that there isn't enough truck or intermodal available to get containers out of port, so

If you can get container X onto the ground and across the Cali border....

Is it the docks or trucks? Ive heard both. I have ZERO trust of the dockworkers union.

It's everything. Last week the people at the top said they inherited the mess

Yep. The one common thread is each factor is caused and/or exacerbated by

Nice idea in theory but I have zero faith in the government to implement it

The media is at an all time low in trust. Trying to tell us isn't a problem...
