Default Stupid Labor Dispute

Because of the labor dispute happening at the west cost ports, I have been waiting over 3 months for my new wheels.



Who else has been waiting and waiting and waiting for stuff that has been stuck at the ports?

Yet another reason to order from domestic suppliers.



The labor dispute is actually a good thing, long term. The west coast totally dominated freight from the other side of the Pacific, and now major companies that were happy to have exactly one supply chain route are making plans for different routes. When car makers are air-freighting parts, it makes sense to figure out how to go through Panama or Mexico.
