My question is, are they just removing the bad infrastructure, or are they replacing it somehow.

If you just remove it, you are denying access for everyone, and possibly dumping that traffic down onto local roads.

If you replace locally, you are going to have to displace people for the new, but better, infrastructure.

If you divert, you are similarly denying access, but likely impacting new communities. Cause it still isnt going in the rich areas.

Epic Fail: L.A. Ports Are More Clogged Now Than Before Biden’s Supply Chain ‘Fix’
Click to expand...
On Oct. 10, three days before the president’s announcement, there were 60 container ships waiting offshore to get into the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and 27 were at berths unloading or loading cargo, according to the Marine Exchange of Southern California.

This Tuesday, there were 77 container ships waiting, while 25 were berthed.

In other words, the number of container ships waiting in line has increased 28% since Biden bragged about his action to “speed up shipments.” And two fewer were loading or unloading cargo than a month ago

that's a really poor conclusion. You can't get any idea of throughout using just those numbers

Imagine breaking the law entering another country. Get detained. Complain about getting separated from kids or parents. Sometimes a blatant lie because in many cases no one is looking for anyone because you came here alone. Then the government of the invaded country negotiates to give you more than soldiers killed in war. Then expect an already spiraling out of control situation that they created to get better. Just to try to prove a phony lie that the last administration created the problem.

I always wonder why the US is the only country expected to just take illegals with no punishment.

Agreed, and I'm nowhere near the intellectual you are, but if it were me and I was looking for the actual "chokepoint", I wouldn't focus on the ships...I'd focus on TEU throughput.

Specifically, what was the average TEU throughput 12 months ago, and in the ensuing 12 months to this point. Daily in, daily out, and by what mode (rail, chassis, etc.). Where, and when, did the pipeline get clogged. Then you can start to look at the "how and why".

And what has caused the logjam? Lack of stevedores, drivers, crane operators, or delays in end user pickup? Teamsters love 'em some Democrats, so why would they slow things down?

Still, when one steps back and takes in the view of the forest, as opposed to gender-neutral trees (thanks for that gem, Kamala)...it's readily apparent to any interested observer that the current administration, all of them, have proven to be completely incompetent at the job they were elected or appointed to do. From Afghanistan to the Mexican border, and everywhere in between, everything King Midas and his minions have touched has turned not to gold, but to dung. It is what it is.

And it is going to get worse...much worse...before it starts to get better.

This particular post here, will indeed age well. At least until 2022, but more likely sometime after the 2025 inauguration.

‘Black Trees Matter’ — VP Kamala Harris Asks NASA if It Can Track Trees by Race for ‘Environmental Justice’

Vice President Kamala Harris asked NASA if it could use its satellites to track trees “by race” in various neighborhoods as part of “environmental justice” during a recent display on climate change, leading many to ridicule the vice president online and even giving rise to a “Black Trees Matter” hashtag.

The Durham Probe Just Reached Into the Biden White House

aaeaed4f-d04a-437e-b262-f0d6cc95e8d7.jpg


In September Special Counsel John Durham announced former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann was indicted by a grand jury for lying to the FBI.

"The charge in the indictment stems from a set of allegations brought by Sussmann to the FBI related to an alleged secret channel of communications between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank," the Department of Justice announced. "As alleged in the indictment, on Sept. 19, 2016, Sussman, a lawyer at a large international law firm, met with the FBI General Counsel at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Sussmann had requested the meeting to provide the General Counsel with certain data files and “white papers” that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and a Russia-based bank. Sussmann, who had previously represented the Democratic National Committee in connection with a cyber hack, falsely stated to the General Counsel that he was not bringing these allegations to the FBI on behalf of any client. This false representation led the General Counsel to understand that Sussmann was providing information as a good citizen rather than a paid advocate or political operative. In fact, Sussmann assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two clients, including a U.S. technology executive and the Clinton Presidential Campaign."

New Jersey’s most powerful Democratic boss Predicts Midterm Carnage

George Norcross says nobody in the state predicted last week’s losses for the party. “It was just a tsunami,” he said. “Nobody saw this coming.”

New Jersey’s most powerful Democratic boss predicts midterm carnage

Democrats just got their clocks cleaned. No One Seems Ready to Change Anything.

There’s little evidence suggesting the party is capable of changing course before the midterms.

The shortage of DEF sensors is causing thousands of trucks to be put out of service for weeks and new trucks 8-9 months for delivery. This has been an ongoing issue since the middle of summer yet the clown-show occupying the WH refuses to do anything about it. All it will take is EPA approval of a software change and down trucks could be up and running and new trucks delivered.

So you’re left with, this is purposeful or they are that incompetent. Both are believable.

Just another failure of the bean counters in destroying American business. One plant employing probably 250 people could probably make enough DEF sensors for the entire country, but no, we need to outsource that to China to make them for 12 cents less.

In his example, the EPA is the problem.

Did you even read the articles? The issue has nothing to do with the production of these sensors being outsourced to China. It has to do with the worldwide shortage of semiconductor chips. They can't manufacture the sensors because they don't have the chips needed to produce them. I've been telling you guys for weeks that the supply chain issues are FAR, FAR deeper than the issue at the ports. There is a worldwide shortage of just about everything, particularly anything that goes into making electronics of any sort. How extensive is the issue? If you want any chance of having semiconductor chips delivered by November 2022, you better already have your purchase order in to the manufacturer. This problem is going to continue to get worse. IMO, there is zero chance the supply chain issues are resolved in 2022 short of a catastrophic recession/depression grinding demand to a complete halt.

No, that is a private enterprise. Which is an entity we don’t want government more involved in. The EPA is responsible for the requirement. Which in all likelihood the manufacturer probably walked hand in hand with the EPA to make this a requirement.

The EPA can approve the process of making software changes that will allow the DEF sensors to be bypassed until the sensors can be replaced. You can't bypass the DEF sensors without the EPA's approval. They better get off their government asses and get it done.
