So instead of better organizing the shipping industry and getting it up the the standards the rest of the world already has implemented, the US should add another unproven mode of transportation like the Hyperloop? If ports and logistic hubs already struggle to get basic tasks automated you would really expect them to adapt that fully automated technology? To me it seems way more likely that asian or european countries will build Hyperloop networks to further improve their shipping industries, it would be the perfect addition for an already almost fully automated system. In the US a Hyperloop network would be congested within a day.

If things are so backed up that this may continue until 2023 why not make a new port somewhere on the east coast. Somewhere thats cheaper than California. That is built to the necessary scale and is actually designed efficiently so that short term it can provide relief, but long term it can actually run more efficiently than other ports, and see some return on investment. Seems like a no brainer. Then after ships unload there they can swing by California to pick up all the empty boxes.

This problem is fixable. The only issue is the owners and everyone who makes money in this industry doesn't want to make LESS money than they already do. And guess what, this crisis is making them MORE money than if things were running smoothly. If politicians and businessmen didn't butcher our manufacturing capacity and outsource it to China, we would not be in this big of a mess.

The Unions have long refused to adopt more technology at the port because efficiency is their enemy. They only see automation as a reduction of union members not a boost in societies productiveness and competitiveness. Same thing in the Automotive industry with the autoworkers union, they cared none about their innovations and are crying that no one wants to buy their cars.

We need to manufacture THINGS to send back, not send empty containers. US relies completely on Asia to feed us, put clothes on our backs, and smartphones in our hands. Look at the exploding trade deficit. What happens when they decide to stop producing for us? Or when a global health crisis happens and we cant even produce our own toilet paper.

Why is there no automation why does it take so long to get a container and a container to the warehouse or distribution center why does it take so long for empties to get back to the trucks and and back to the ships one word the LONG SHOREMAN they screwed up the Harbor so bad this is what we have

I'm pretty sure that's a 40 foot container, not a 20 foot one, that you're tracking. Also, aren't those folks at 6: 55 unloading air shipping containers? Your essential point is a good one, but it's undermined by a fact check here and the wrong stock footage there.

She said put the container on a hyper loop. Lol. We have trains- invest in infrastructure so it-s not out of date
We want to complete the cycle not getting stuck in a loop.
The whole world is owning us while we bicker a build more trashy suburbs

America is known for cutting corners and paying way way more when things go bad due to there in action to actually build things correctly and efficiently. We don't invest in our people or country we are always playing catch up.

So all in all, the delay is all here at North America port side. So it-s actually false to call it a -shipment - issue; rather, it-s a poor port side logistic at North America side that-s holding all the product unload -
