Biden's Political Solution to Clear The Ships From Los Angeles Ports Only Making Things Worse

From the White House perspective, the problem at the California ports, specifically the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, was visible due to hundreds of container ships sitting in a queue off the coast of Los Angeles awaiting their opportunity to offload their cargo.

As a result the politically expedient goal to get rid of the optical problem by offloading containers into a California port system, that is already overwhelmed with tens-of-thousands of containers, is only making the original issue exponentially worse.

Back in California, now you have Los Angeles port workers saying we are offloading ships at maximum productivity, and truck drivers saying they've been sitting around for hours, some even days, waiting to pick up their containers.

Did you hear about massive increases in container shipment prices? Well, THAT'S WHY. The entire supply chain from Asia to the United States was being modified from the closest port, which was cost effective, to the ports where internal transportation would not be an issue.

Ships from China and SE Asia were being diverted away from California, some through the Gulf of Mexico into Texas, Louisiana, Alabama ports or inland waterways.

Back in Washington DC, Joe Biden's solution was to get rid of the ships floating off the coast of California by piling their cargo into Los Angeles ports that are already overwhelmed with cargo they are trying to organize.
