With consumers and manufacturers nationwide livid about the nation’s broken supply chain, President Joe Biden is set to announce that one U.S. port is moving to a “24/7” working schedule, although the existing pilot program really only operates four days a week.
The Biden administration told reporters Tuesday that the Port of Long Beach, the busiest port in the nation, had “already gone to 24/7” and that the Port of Los Angeles would soon be “meeting that effort.”
But according to the Washington Post, only one of Long Beach’s six terminals works 24 hours a day. Even then, it only maintains that schedule four days a week.
“It will accomplish zero. It’s just window dressing,” Craig Grossgart, SEKO Logistics senior vice president for global ocean, told the Washington Post.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been leading a supply chain task force since June. But just as Vice President Kamala Harris has completely failed at her assigned task of solving the border crisis, Buttigieg has also completely failed at solving the supply chain crisis.
At least Biden is making sure his administration’s failures are also owned by some of his closest competitors for his party’s 2024 nomination.
