You will need to line up on black Friday in your boats, locations of stock will be released at set time, and it's a free for all from there.

Folks like Norman tend to look past all of the policies that Dems make over the years while attacking conservatives who point the finger at the Dem in charge. Sure, it's an oversimplification of the situation, but they're right about who's causing it. Cali created regulations that completely shut down Owner-Operated trucks who could negotiate their own wage, then demanded that all trucks be newer than 2011, while also saying that by 2035, all trucks must be zero emissions. This means companies aren't going to be buying new trucks because they will want to be investing in trucks with zero emissions. That policy was always going to remove trucks from the road. Furthermore, Dems WANT trucks to be removed from the roads. Now add to that policies that have allowed people to collect checks from the government, and stay home from work. Policies that don't deem ports work as essential work. Policies that reduce the hours at major shipping ports.
They are telling you what they are doing, and you guys keep falling for the [BLEEP] because some site says "FACT-CHECK FALSE." It's not low wages. It's bad policies by democrats. And, even if Biden and Buttigieg aren't directly responsible, they are mindlessly supporting policy that is destructive.
If California laws are the problem, Biden has no authority to overrule that unless he orders the military to drive the trucks. States can enforce laws that are stricter than federal laws.
You do know that there are plenty of trucks and that isn't the issue right? Trucks older than 3 years can't go there anymore. O&O can't go there, so only large corps that can also afford new trucks can. You have trucks that can't get their loads because of all the cargo. The empties are stuck on chassis in yards and wherever they can store them because the port won't take them right now. The port off loading ships wasn't really a problem.
Biden could use interstate laws to suspend the states rules but didn't want to do that. They are now moving the cargo somewhere else but that doesn't fix anything as you still have to have chassis to move it and/or cranes to load/unload it so you can actually get the cargo on a truck.
