What's Wrong? Prices up
Several months ago I noticed that container ships were stacking up in the harbor outside of Los Angeles. The administration did nothing about it then. Now, however, less than two months before Christmas, President Joe Biden has decreed that the union will work 24 hours a day to unload the 60 ships that are waiting there (plus the additional number that will arrive next week). He has no idea, however, where workers will put the contents of those thousands of containers, since the warehouse space is over 99 percent full already. Nor has he come up with a plan that will give truckers what they need to haul away the booty. It looks like some soldiers will have to take a crash course in truck driving in order to get a few toys into stores before Christmas. Some retailers have already leased ships in an attempt to bypass the bottleneck.
