I said all this in another thread, but it was ignored, because I'm just an Injun from the South and I'm not as smart as some of the Yankees here.....

In the UK the big debate is whether the global supply chain problem is caused by Brexit or not.

Jesus... smh.
In an effort to ease congestion at the nation’s busiest port complex, officials said Monday that they will start fining shipping companies whose cargo containers linger for too long at marine terminals.
The twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach said in a statement that arriving containers scheduled to be moved by trucks will be allowed to stay for nine days before fines start accruing. Containers set to move by rail can stay at the ports for three days.
After that, ocean carriers will be charged $100 per container, increasing in $100 increments per container per day, the statement said.
The new rules will go into effect Nov. 1.
“The terminals are running out of space, and this will make room for the containers sitting on those ships at anchor,” Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero said in the statement.
It’s the latest step aimed at relieving the logjam of cargo ships that has interrupted the global supply chain. The backlog prompted the Biden administration to allow the port complex to operate 24 hours a day to try to get goods unloaded and out to consumers.

Never mind the state will not allow a four year-old truck to haul that container.
The beatings will continue until moral improves...

Looks like Florida May pick up some of that shipping business after all.

Florida can't fix this. It's another 5,000 miles to Miami via the Panama canal. Maritime shippers cannot possibly absorb this time and cost. California has to relax it rules, and fining ground shippers will just escalate.

They will eventually. What's the alternative? Fining will not produce the result they want. The state passed laws that essentially cut 70,000 of their 130,000 truck drivers out of the picture.
Good thing for Newsom the recall is past.

You're assuming you're dealing with pragmatic people.
You're not. It's California 'fer christ's sake.

If we still had a leader in the White House he would declare this a national emergency and run over California. But we don't have a leader now.
