In a piece from yesterday, FreightWaves broke down the numbers to get the real story. If you count only the ships waiting within 40 miles of the ports, which was the standard measure, it is true that the number of waiting ships has declined by over 40 percent, as Seroka said. But more ships are now waiting outside that zone than inside it.

If this is true, and more ships are waiting outside the 40 mile range than within, then (if spacing requirements are the same) the outer range of these ships is likely about 60 miles.

On the land side, a semicircle centered around Long Beach Port would encompass Camarillo (Ventura County) up the coast, much of Camp Pendleton (San Diego County) down the coast, and Perris and Murrieta (Riverside County) to the east. This 60 mile radius includes the entirety of both Los Angeles County and Orange County.

My local store has looked pretty bare for a while. I've been having a hard time buying vegetables for over a month there, and tortilla chips might be a thing of the past.

The local news had a story about it. I have not seen it. Yesterday in Dollar Tree, don't recall any empty shelves in any of a dozen aisles, fridge, freezers.
A few days ago in groc store, did not notice any empty shelves in about 7 aisles, plus fridge or freezers.



And Green Bay is getting its first ever Hy Vee. In the largest mall we have.
Be nice to see that also with full shelves.

It's probably regional, or even just chain specific.

When I'm not stocking up on bulk-buy stuff at Sam's, I'm buying groceries at ALDI. they've been half-empty for at least 5 or 6 weeks now. It's a crap shoot if they're going to have what I want when I go there, and I'm sure that I'm not helping things either. The last time they had vegetables, I bought 14 bags worth because I hadn't seen any in 10 days.

If I remember, I'll post with what Sam's looks like next week if I go down with my Dad to visit my bro. He's got the membership and I just leech off of it.

.

I haven't seen empty shelves at Piggly Wiggly, Pick-N-Save, Festival, Avenue Markets, Red Owl, Aldi, Meijers (few days ago), Target.
Maybe Woodman's, and Walmart groc shelves are always empty. And Kwik Trip always has empty shelves.
Farm & Fleet had empty shelves around, but I still found the items I went for.

Well... like I said, the ALDI by me looks like what happens in the first few days of the apocalypse. And it's been trending that way for a month and a half now.

It's not as bad as when the beerbug first hit and nobody could buy toilet paper, but it's not too far off from that now.

The Dollar Tree looked fine a week or so the last time I was there. That is to say, it didn't look any worse than it always does. It's the worst Dollar Tree that I've ever stepped into on a good day.

I should probably know what the Sam's looks like next week, but it's not my local one so I don't know how useful that info would be.

Assuming I can find what I need next week, I might be buying more than I usually would.

Particularly coffee. A search a few days ago didn't show that the price had gone up yet, but I've been hearing that coffee has gone up 50% in price (one of the highest price increases on any product in Bidenflation, even above used cars). Maybe that just means that Starbucks is charging even more for their overpriced brew.

My local $ Tree has not raised prices, but said they will in a few weeks, only on some items.

Seems like gas is about double of pre-Obiden.

Sometimes it seems meat is more expensive, but that sense is fleeting.

Restaurant prices have really gone up a lot. I notice at Firehouse Subs. Maybe that is just national chains. Local restaurants seem to have the same menus, with same prices.

They did it at mine 3 weeks ago.

The only thing I've seen in the entire store that isn't $1.25 now is greetings cards, which are still a great deal at $0.50.

For years my favorite BBQ joint had Jumbo Chicken Wings for me to buy. 6 piece for $6.50, or $6 on Wings Wednesday, 12 piece for $12, $11 on Wednesday.

Until last year. Then they had to take it off the menu, because they couldn't get chicken due to the chicken shortage - which some folks blamed on the Texas Disaster in Feb.

Now they have it back, and I ordered 6 piece, they didn't mention the total. The new price is $10 for 6 piece, and $20 for 12 piece.
My "6 piece Jumbo Chicken Wings" consisted of 4 drummies plus 1 half size wing, and 1 actual jumbo wing.


That is quite a price hike. Thanks Joe.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



When it comes to the 'supply chain' I've had no problem getting imports from England. I have had problems getting particular groceries that are sourced in the US, particularly pork, canned salmon, and safflower oil; but especially pork and pork products like a particular brand of bacon (it disappeared almost 2 years ago from the only store that carried it), a particular brand of ham (unavailable for roughly 2 years), and a particular brand of ground pork (it disappeared 6 months ago after being on the shelf intermittently).

For years, the railroads have fought all kinds of basic safety regulations — modern braking systems, stronger tank cars for explosive materials, even information about what’s on trains passing through communities — based on an argument that it simply costs too much.

Amid the lobbying blitz against stronger transportation safety regulations, Norfolk Southern paid executives millions and spent billions on stock buybacks — all while the company shed thousands of employees despite warnings that understaffing is intensifying safety risks.

'The shipping company that blocked the Suez canal dishes out another bonus to staff—an average of $20k each'

https://fortune.com/2023/03/21/evergreen-marine-corporation-bonuses-su
ez-canal-ever-green-blocked
/

Despite accidentally grinding the global supply chain to a halt, things have actually been going rather well for Evergreen Marine Corp.

The Taiwanese company was one of the winners of the pandemic-era shipping boom, raking in a record profit in 2022.

According to financial reports released last week, the company’s revenue stood at $20.5 billion, an increase of 28% compared to the previous year, and more than three times higher than its 2020 income.

Keen to share its success with its 3,100 members of staff, Evergreen has handed out more than NT$1.92 billion ($62.8 million) in bonuses. That’s an average of around $20,000 per employee.

It comes after Evergreen Marine hit headlines for giving staff a bonus worth four years’ salary late last year, with some employees said to have received more than $65,000 on Dec. 30.

At the time the company did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment, but a source familiar with Evergreen Marine’s bonus structure anonymously told Bloomberg that the size of the bonuses was dependent on workers’ level of seniority and function.

According to filings now viewed by Bloomberg, Evergreen Marine confirmed it distributes 0.5% of its earnings as employee compensation with bonuses distributed according to the individual performance of employees.

Pay increases haven’t always been so easily won by Evergreen staff.

In January the Taipei Times reported that ground staff at Evergreen Airline Services Corp.—another company under the Evergreen Group umbrella—were given a salary increase worth $1,305 and an increase in vacation pay for the Lunar New Year holiday after they threatened a walkout over pay.

The pay packet inflation comes despite a hiccup in Evergreen Marine’s operations in 2021, when a vessel operated by the organization infamously blocked the Suez Canal, causing huge disruption across international supply chains.

The Ever Given got wedged across the Egyptian waterway which acts as a cut-through from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.

With the passage blocked, other ships would have had to make the journey around the entire African continent –analysts estimated the blockage held up as much as $10.9 billion worth of cargo per day.

A six-day operation was undertaken to refloat the ship, and a person was killed during the process.

Months later, Egypt signed a compensation deal with the ship’s Japanese owner and its insurers. Terms of the agreement were not made public, but Egyptian authorities had reportedly demanded $550 million in damages.

Evergreen Marine Corp. did not respond to Fortune’s contact for comment.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


If an economy depends on world- straddling
ocean-going trade, then it had better hzve MILITARY control of chokepoints - canals and straits. Or at least, have good relations with nations that effectively control those chokepoints: Turkey, China, Indonesia, Egypt, Yemen, Panama, Iran etc.

That goes for China as well as the USA and EU. A point WE would do well to remember, since China has worldwide trade and investment ambitions. THAT is the real threat of China, bc China seeks to be a globalist nation.

That is absoulutly nothing. A mere drop in the bucket compared to what would need to be spent if the government is serious about ever making EVs a thing. $623 Million won't even cover yearly maintenance costs for the infrastructure that currently exists.

As a comparison, the ACP, which put the FCC in charge of internet assistance is set to expire in May of this year. In order to keep 23 Million households from losing internet service from then until December, it would cost $7 BILLION, which isn't likely to be passed until at least after the election in November.


But by all means... let's send another $100 BILLION to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to feed Boeing, Raytheon and the rest of the war machine.

Fuck our government and their ass backward priorities.
