California Ports to Fine Ocean Carriers for Backlog; Ports Remain Full

[Smokin Joe]

That's a reasonable short-term solution, but it isn't a long-term solution, and long-term, it's highly unlikely that California will suddenly see reason, no matter how blatantly obvious, and change course.  As a result, there is a long-term opportunity for Mexico to capture substantial revenues from facilitating the transport of cargo from the Pacific into the U.S. in a way that "works around" California.

I agree. And for all the 'save the planet' folks that translates into higher emissions and older vehicles in use as Mexican Drivers haul the loads American's can't or won't--without the DOT rules we have here, and certainly not complying with California's emission standards--or possibly another racket for the Cartels, as they go into the trucking business, too.
But this, like so many problems out there, is imposed by idiot politicians and others who have no clue how things work.

They have clue....they just DON'T CARE.  THEIR PAY-OFFS, KICK-BACKS...are all that matter.  Scr3w America and it's citizens.  Why should they care?  They have 'THEIR'S.".    Evil is a better word.  Narcissists. They don't care about human lives....either.  Just how to 'use them' for their own profit.   USEFUL IDIOTS=ANTIFA/BLM

P.S. I agree with you. Just adding on.

Yup.

It also translates into lost revenues for California port businesses, and lost tax revenues for California itself.

Absolutely they deserve it, but it will still change them by not having a job of course.

The marketplace will find a workaround. It always does, even if it has to go sub rosa.

Newsom must think a lot of himself to remain oblivious to the detrimental effects he is having on the State and America, or he is profoundly content with cutting off his nose to spite his face.

It would serve Ca right if the shipping companies banded together and refused to load or unload ships at any port in Ca.
