Our supply line is fragile and fully loaded. Frankly, it's a bad design that is completely dependent of cheap ubiquitous labor. People want to blame the pandemic or blame lack of truckers, but the reality is the ports are at capacity. The slow downs they are now experiencing is from inefficiencies of trying to run it in over drive.
Doing a truck drop takes 3-4 minutes for a container. Whether semi or train. The port needs to clear 500,000 containers a month. There are 5000-10000 containers per ship.
It's a just in time supply model that is dependent on people spending large numbers of hours not being compensated waiting for their 'spot'.
JIMHO, pretty much nobody has a foot to stand on to complain about the oil leak, 3/4s of all American's possession are tainted with gloablly sourced shit that is 100% dependent on the oil industry and the dirtiest of their products bunker fuel.

Dude... TSLA is fo' real.
Dinosaurs got to dino... some stuff you get right, but even at only 1.5%, Tesla has 75% of the EV market. And while that may decrease as others put out their EVs, Musk has a pretty huge head start in not just technology, assembly and distribution... but more importantly, charging infrastructure.
Other makers wouldn't even be thinking about electrification if not for the roads that Tesla paved.
You got Trump wrong... this one you are also the baloney.

Psaki: It?s ?Unfair And Absurd? That Companies Would Raise Costs For Consumers Due To Higher Taxes
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed during Monday?s press briefing that it would be ?unfair and absurd? for companies to raise costs on consumers in response to the Biden administration raising the corporate tax rate.
Forbes noted in a report that it was ?important to remember that corporate taxes must be paid by people,? the report said. ?Any corporate tax increase will be paid by either shareholders/owners, employees in the form of lower wages, or customers in the form of higher prices.?

...and the boy king is trying to spin the blame on the "evil" carbon producers when it really is the shippers fault for dragging their anchor across a perfectly good pipeline. I like how they use the panic poRn gallons figure instead of the barrels (only 3000 BARRLELS). To put that into perspective the Deep Water Horizon spill (quickly forgotten) was 3.2 MILLION BARRELS, EXXON VALDES? 257,000 BARRELS. The boy king wants to stop ALL oil drilling in Californian, which would only drive energy prices higher and cause further inflation. The fools are truly in charge.

The last oil spill in Huntington Beach was back in 1990, about 3x the size of this one, and it was quickly forgotten about after a few months. It was caused by a tanker ship running over its own anchor and leaking about 400,000+ gallons. Maybe we should outlaw cargo ships instead of offshore drilling?
Why do republicons always try to spin things?
There was an oil spill, and now he says ban cargo ships? Who said that?
This is why I would never vote republican. They use to be the party of family values and have turned to something else.
Also, the new thing is for governors to fight against the vaccine. (but the real secret is they got the vaccine, oops I was not suppose to say that) Let the Plebs Be! (as long as I am safe) lol
People are waking up!

The heavy fuel oil those moored ships burn that requires being heated up first is a huge environmental tax on the blue collar populations of the port-adjacent cities. Up here the A's stadium proposal at Howard Terminal has exposed the racial injustice of port locations, creating some very strange bedfellows in pitting the residents of West Oakland against the established port industrial interests (and associated Unions, the parties mostly culpable for the port slowdowns).

Inflation is your friend....
Real cost of inflation to average American household: An extra $175 a month
Over the past couple of months, Allison, a wife and mother of a toddler and teenager in Chicago, says she?s been spending about $50 more each week on groceries to feed her family ? and that?s at a discount supermarket chain, Aldi?s.
?I used to spend $70 a week, but all of sudden this summer, I noticed that I couldn?t leave the store without spending at least $120,? said Allison, who works in education.
Like millions of Americans whose income has not kept pace with inflation ? up 5.3 percent in August compared with a year ago ? Allison and her family are feeling the pinch of the rising cost of living and giving up some things just to make ends meet.
Her family is scrimping now. ?There are no more splurges like going to Home Depot to buy an extra plant or eating out,? Allison said.
