please READ the article and will help u understand I guess. I have already explained it 2 times how ships got diverted to USA obv affects offload times and port congestion.
incase u didn't look at the very top notes from the article I can quote for u.
"The current West Coast ports strike has significant implications for both the Canadian and U.S. economy, and potential supply chain congestion from ocean cargo "
other articles can be found if u look about stress level of west coast both in canada AND USA due to the strike. this is a WELL known thing.
I did not reach my own conclusions (although some folks here have), this is a FACT all over the news. not sure why this is under discussion. I really hope folks can try and get informed not just by tik Tok and assume because they never saw it on twitter feed its not a reality.
its OK to admit when your wrong. I have done it, it happens. Just hilarious when folks jump down my throat and then have to realize "wait actually that is actually a very likely cause since my shipment was on a boat and port congestion is in the red due to a strike" guess just goes to show how is something goes against ones narrative/world view it is rejected with disgust and contempt for the person who brings it up. this goes for me aswell. again just funny how a well known, well documented thing, gets shot down by the mob and more people that shoot it down the more certain they are, when if took 3 seconds could see how I am, in this case, 100% correct and its not disputable. other factors possibly at play aswell.
I didn't say anything in a argumentative way simply presented a fact that its a very likely possibility shipping times via cargo ships have been EXTRA slow over the past month is because of port congestion due to a strike.. But than folks jumped down my throat saying I made something up for some unknown reason lol. so please don't say IM the one who starts arguments when simply conveying a likely theory as to why shipping time last month were slow...
lol I guess I just struck a nerve for guys who work in unions and get WAY more than is deserved. which is fine, but constant complaining and striking does affect investment in your country, and clearly have never ever had to bust ass for 18-23 hr day with no mandated breaks etc JUST to keep a job, and somehow feel more entitled than ER Drs who do just that, ANYHOO.
specific article about USA already struggling with cargo(early June) prior to more ships coming from canada.
$5.2 billion in cargo stuck off West Coast ports in truck and container bottleneck
hopefully this can shed some light for folks about transit time issues over last month or 2. pretty wild how this is some foreign or "Crazy" idea that weirdo CH just made up in his mind lol...
