Los Angeles Will Fine Cargo Ships That Can't Unload
Because it's OBVIOUSLY their fault...
Los Angeles ports will fine cargo ships waiting to unload their goods in an attempt to relieve congestion that is as desperate as it is gobsmackingly stupid.
It’s a fine so pointless and wrong that, of course, Presidentish Joe Biden has chimed in with his support for it.
According to CNBC, the White House is “hopeful” that fines will “ease the intensifying logjam of cargo ships” waiting to unload at Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles. Together, the two account for 40% of the country’s seaborne imports.
Carriers will have to pay “$100 per day for each container lingering past a given timeline” starting on the first of the month. Containers moved by truck will have nine days before they’ll start paying, and containers moved by rail will have just three days.

Cause and effect is too difficult for the "elite". They closed down businesses and paid people not to work (welfare & unemployment). Now there is a re-opening surge. The "Big Boxes", warehouses, and distribution centers don't have sufficient workers, so the trucks and drivers are stuck, waiting, which causes storage problems at "Intermodal" facilities which backs up to the ports. The Democratic solution is a fine on the containers, which gats added to the cost of the product which the "peasant" has to pay. This is almost as good as the old Soviet system. Dah "Boss" doesn't have a clue and the peasant/worker/citizen pays the price. Shame that we don't have any "greedy" Capitalists to run the system.
