You didnt answer my question. Price is fair , profit made . Are you gready ?Let Europe and China worry about the price.

Easy enough to say but on the Walmart aisle level how do you convince consumers to pay more? It is a solution that does not have a practical path forward.
The invisible hand of economics in a free market should determine prices.You didnt answer my question. Price is fair , profit made . Are you gready ?
it is the most recent, and while yes we had a helping hand in it it was also do to their own repressive policies that led to us and other countries saying screw you. currently our policies are going to the repressive side...how much longer until other countries say screw us? China already has because we gave them the wherewithal to do so. if we had cracked down on them and their abuses 20 years ago instead of allowing them to act like they have we would be in a much stronger position.. and yes that means that some folks will not get their Iphone23xyz for 900 usd... they might have to pay two or three grand and that would lead to less stupid spending when you have to pay that much for one.Why would Venezuela stand out in your example? Socialism is a failed model, but it is not what caused Venezuela's collapse.. that was our doing. The USA is responsible for it.
Let me first say I'm not a fan of Pelosi, but I am a fan of truth and facts, regardless of who they benefit or harm.I agree with 99% of this the part I do not agree with is your supposition that its someone unknown.... they are called bureaucrat's and elected officials. we have allowed them to legislate their way free and clear to do what enters into their little pea brains. how does pelosi's husband make all that money on such timely trades? its called insider information which she gets do to her position on various committee's yet If I did the same the SEC would climb so far up my azz that i would not need to worry about a coloscopy the hospital could just stuff a camcorder up there.
She comes to mind the quickest, there are plenty of others on both sides of the aisle.
oh please...What non-engineers don't understand is it may cost $5000 to clean something up 99%,
but that last 1% may cost you a million bucks.
Trying to convince an environmentalist that costs matter is futile.
They will wreck and destroy an economy for almost ZERO benefit just to get that last .05% benefit that is practically meaningless.
Banning old trucks will not do anything noticeable for the air but it will damage our economy substantially.
I take it that you aren't an engineer. LOLoh please...
give you nonsense a rest already
i take i actually look at science instead of pseudo science..What non-engineers don't understand is it may cost $5000 to clean something up 99%,
but that last 1% may cost you a million bucks.

I take the accounting side and see a cap on cost with a $200,000 Tesla Semi in a couple more years.What non-engineers don't understand is it may cost $5000 to clean something up 99%,

So you believe in cleaning up the air or water ; the last 1% costs no more than the previous 99% ?i take i actually look at science instead of pseudo science..
and to answer you question.. i am actual engineer
Getting back on track, here is a nice twitter thread from a few day
My understanding is that there is a shortage of container carriers ( trailers) which is contributing to the slow times to unload ships. I don't know if red tape is the reason there is a shortage of trailers. One report suggested that some of the existing trailers are tied up storing empty containers and the solution to the bottleneck would be to find some place where the empties can be stored other than on trailers.so the port is doing its job but the red tape is blocking everything
The real issue is local air quality. The emissions equipment to clean the air is more important than ever due to delays at the port:The trucking issue with California LA ports, ie the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB), is that all semi tractors have to be current with new California emissions standards. As a consequence, that mean trucks cannot be older than 3 years if they are to pick up or deliver containers at those ports. This issue wipes out approximately half of the fleet trucks used to move containers in/out of the port. Operating the port 24/7 will not cure the issue, because all it does is pile up more containers that sit idle as they await a limited number of trucks to pick them up. THIS is the central issue.
The California Version of The Green New Deal and an October 16, 2020, EPA Settlement With Transportation is What's Creating The Container Shipping Backlog - Working CA Ports 24/7 Will Not Help, Here's Why - The Last Refuge
Hundreds of requests for details on the specifics of the container shipping backlog. So, I spent 3 days calling sources, digging for details and gathering information on the substantive issue at hand. The epicenter of the problem is not what is being outlined by financial media, corporate...theconservativetreehouse.com
The link from the OP is not a news article, its a link to an explicitly partisan blog (self described "band of conservative misfits"), with a track record for pushing various conspiracy theories. They seem to have begun with the answer they wanted and worked backwards to bend the facts to fit their narrative. Its disappointing to see people posting this sort of link as if it was news, and without stating biases or the low quality of the source site. We should be more careful/skeptical of the sources that confirm our own biases, or make us feel right or righteous all the time, in most cases those sources are not news and are just feeding you what they know you want to believe/hear.My point is there are plenty of trucks regardless of the required emissions mandate in the OP.
