Solving The Wrong Problem
Government at all levels often solves the wrong problem, is not very smart, is slow to act. Allow me to provide a vivid example.
Problem:
Shipping is backing up at West Coast ports with more than 100 ships awaiting unloading at ports like Long Beach and Los Angeles. This will negatively impact Christmas sales, the cost of transportation, and temporary holiday hiring.
Here is a recent graphic showing the status of Long Beach.
The yellow dots are ships waiting to unload.
