Just off Southern California’s coast is a traffic jam of colossal proportions. Dozens of ships are waiting up to weeks to offload cargo in Los Angeles and Long Beach while the ports are inundated with containers of goods needing to be taken to their final destinations.

The latest shipping headache has more than 60 ships sitting idle off of the coast of Southern California, reports the Wall Street Journal. Wait times For unloading are stretching as long as three weeks.

I think this article is from yesterday. I hate articles that don't have a date on them.

I guess having foreign actors "lose control" of a vessel and shut down one of America's busiest ports wasn't enough for an election year. We had to have more distracting nonsense from the media to disguise the Vance vs. Whomever debate.

Interesting narrative given how little we export.

While true. Foreign countries are going to have to deal with fucked up ports of their own. Storage containers stacked for days.

I generally don't like unions. Certain ones should not be allowed to strike is all.
