Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables?

Dude I live in Chicago.

Wow. It's like I'm talking to skypunk or therealearlflynn but you insist you're jerry...
I never said or implied you lived in a red state. That was in response to your politically charged rant at the end of your post. At least you're consistent so we can all enjoy your contributions here.

Also, I have to comment on the 9.6% inflation this year from last. More BS. 2/3 of that is due to Rump's handling of the economy. Does anyone here really think that when someone takes over, everything resets to zero? I'll bet some do.

@jerryg123, Got the exact response I expected. I did read it and you're the one who needs more sources if you want to continue down this road. 

I find it funny and sad that you'd link two sources that don't comport with your claims. Gee, I wonder what's driving up the demand to the point where the ports have difficulty in handling the orders?

Remember the article you linked? Operating at peak capacity for 17 months make this the former guys problem and not a peep from you back then. He didn't even try to address it. Every other week it was "infrastructure week coming in two weeks",  for 4 years. 

Of course it's a game of whack-a-mole as you have demand for goods higher than ever, private ownership of ports that want to make a buck off of this by lowballing truckers, and an ever changing playing field. At least someone is trying to do something about it.

And Merry Christmas to you as well as NY and CA properly prepare for the winter phase of Covid, keeping their people alive,  while the red states sacrifice their flock, writing them off as already dead so as to make political points instead of following expert medical advice.

All the best,

@jerryg123 ,

Not quite so....

The ports have handled record-setting cargo volumes over the last year, though they’ve hit a plateau. “Before the pandemic and before the surge in the American consumer buying patterns,” Seroka said, “during the peak season we would have one or two months where we move 900,000" twenty-foot equivalent units — or TEUs, the standard volume metric in ocean shipping — all told, including loaded imports and exports and empty containers.

“We’ve been averaging 900,000 containers a month for 17 months now,” Seroka said. “This is really peak performance.”

In the very article you linked, that statement kind of sums things up. Yes, they’ve asked ships to park farther out from the ports, but if you cared to read what you posted, they’ve been handling peak volumes for the last 17 months. Those numbers used to be only for a couple during shopping season.

That WSJ article still hits all the points as to why truckers aren’t keeping on truckin’. The numbers would be even higher if they ran the ports more efficiently and paid the drivers what they’re worth.

It was never about emissions. Blaming it on the spotted owl would have made more sense.

This is insane, there wouldn't be nearly any disruption to supply chain issues if these ships would go to Fla & Tx ports and by pass California ports. If Newsome wasnt such an idiot with bs emissions crap,

Whatever giant rock you've been living under, do us all a favor and scurry back under it. Long dwelling containers were down 41% back on 11/30/31 as well as imports at the 4 largest ports 21% above 2018 levels. Retail levels are above pre pandemic levels. Emissions "crap" had nothing to do with the backlog. It was Covid disrupting the markets.

All the best,
