My wife was in the freight business about 17 years ago. She tells me that a port in places like Singapore or Hong Kong (they use to rank the world's #1 and 2 due to the sheer volume and San predo and long beach combine was third) can unload a container ships 3-4 times faster and accurately compared to the longshoremen in the US and they will work 24 hours too. Its automated and the union mafia do not want that here. That's why we have a shortage of everything (and no truck drivers), and shipping has gone through the roof with ships waiting out at sea. Some experts think that some of the ships will be waiting out at sea until next summer before they are able to unload their cargo. Hey, they don't care if these companies that rely on shipping of their goods go out of business. TAlk about fuel, and pollution.
