New executive order aims to
alleviate congestion at California's ports
New York (CNN Business)To alleviate cargo congestion at shipping ports in California, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Wednesday tackling the shortage of truck drivers and container storage needed to move critical cargo out of the ports.
"California's ports are critical to our local, state and national economies and the state is taking action to support goods movement in the face of global disruptions," said Governor Newsom in a statement Wednesday. "My administration will continue to work with federal, state and industry partners on innovative solutions to tackle immediate challenges while also bringing our distribution processes into the 21st century."
The executive order directs state agencies to find state, federal and private land for short-term container storage while identifying freight routes for trucks so the state can temporarily exempt weight limits on the road.
It helps some. But reports say we are short of skilled truck drivers in comparison to the rising demand to move the freight even if they get offloaded onto docks.
tough problem to solve in a short period of time

No evidence of favoritism according to National public radio.
Both Trump and Biden benefit from extra funding to help underfunded election infrastructure.
Due to pandemic, congress and states provided only a tiny fraction of funding necessary for 2020 election.
Legal for Zuckerberg to donate to nonpartisan foundation that distributes grants to help over 2500 election offices across the US. Nonpartisan election offices decide how to spend money in a wide variety of ways. For examples, hiring of more poll workers, protective gears, public education on how to vote and transportation of voting equipments. Without more funding, there would have been longer lineups and delays in processing mail ballots.
i dont see a problem with it at all
According to the hill,
Biden administration is investing $100 million to state programs aimed at attracting healthcare workers in under served communities.
with healthcare workers getting burned out at a record pace due to this pandemic this is a badly needly program

Correct, sir.
Intelligent Americans understand (or should) that this is almost entirely a private sector issue. Governments can offer some assistance but it has to be resolved by the private sector. And we all know that REPUBLICANS have insisted now and for decades that they DO NOT WANT the federal government meddling in "private sector" affairs! "HANDS OFF!" they repeatedly say.
ya that pretty much sums up most of the republican mantra the past 50+ yrs
but now the repo hypocrits in congress r trying to blame the liberal government for what is a private sector problem 
of course they r
so they want hands off private sector issues but they seek to blame the federal government for not putting hands on private sector issues ???
I know. Bizarre, right?! But that appears to be their partisan claim.
Blame Joe Biden for absolutely *EVERYTHING* - no matter what.
yep all partisan rw media and partisan rw social media r doing the same bs
in one respect its funny
but in the greater respect - deliberaately hurting our democracy and our nation - its almost as disgraceful as donnie chump
Disregard for those consequences is shameful.
Biden administration is looking to help save Christmas and ease supply shortages of goods according to USA today. Walmart, Fedex and UPS agreed to expand night work hours to reduce supply chain bottlenecks caused by the pandemic. Previously, Los Angeles port workers agreed to work extra shifts.
Now we need a lot more truck drivers to move the goods from port to warehouse.
Surging demand
BUSINESS INSIDER -
But the problem is not simply the supply of trucks or hours of operation.
The backlogs have mostly been caused by a crush of goods coming from Asia.
American consumers who have been spending less on services, such as travel or going to movies or other events, have been spending more money on goods, from household goods to automobiles. 
And the rise in imported goods and items that are built here with foreign sourced parts have resulted in more container volume trying to get through the ports than before the pandemic.
While the longer hours has alleviated some of the congestion at the ports, Seroka said executives expect the crush of goods won't slow down until February 2022, at the earliest.

According to wikipedia, Federalist made false claims about elections.
Media bias fact check rates Federalist as a questionable source that promotes biased propaganda and conspiracy theories.
Numerous failed fact checks. Twitter has suspended Federalist for spreading misinformation. Ad Fontes rating of 26/64 for reliability. Wordpress freedom rank of 45/180.
the federalist
House Committee into Jan 6th
has voted unanimously 9-0 to hold trump loyalist Steve Bannon on criminal contempt charges!
Goes to full vote in the house on Thursday.
Suppose the house also votes the same way, could Bannon calla mulligan and appear for questioning to in effect cancel the criminal contempt charges?

Around the world,
ports are congested as a result of the rapid rebound in demand
for commodities and goods as much of the global economy
has recovered from the pandemic.
Shipping costs have soared, and companies wanting to move goods around
are struggling because there just aren't enough ships or containers available.
All the while prices are going up for consumers as a result.

In the first nine months of 2021, retail sales were up 14.5%
over the same period in 2020 - a year in which retail sales
had already jumped 8% over 2019!
The NRF had expected to end the year with sales up 10.5% to 13.5%.

Lots of imports and even more spending have driven
the inventory to sales ratio down because businesses
imported a lot of stuff, and then Americans bought it.
Are you or anyone else experiencing a shortage of any products? We are able to get anything we need/want here in SFLA. And we are starting to see our Canadian snow birds arriving as well.
I read where retailers are particularly worried about Christmas.

Well I suppose we could ask the REPUBLICANS in the trump-party in Congress and see what they think, but I think we all know the answer.
