signs of slowing'

California lawmakers are calling for Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency for backlogged ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Eight US representatives, all Republican, signed a letter calling for Newsom to suspend or eliminate regulations for ports, warehouses, and trucking companies in order to combat the supply-chain crisis. The congress members warned the traffic jam that has spawned widespread shortages and price hikes show "no signs of slowing."

"Unfortunately, California's own burdensome laws and regulations that restrict goods from moving to consumers, have contributed to this crisis," the letter said.

US Rep. Michelle Steel, R-California, submitted the letter into the record of a hearing on the supply chain crisis that was hosted by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday.

2. If California laws and regulations are what caused this,

why did everything work so well right up until recently?

3. All the tech in Silicon Valley making dating sites should be able to work on this.

It was caused by the free market. They should solve it and get paid to do it.

4. It's been confirmed that the ports, warehouses and trucking companies . . . .

supply chain is easing up so far at 30% and going better. Newsom was just on TV with the news as well as US Secreatary of Transporation Pete Buttigieg.

I'm sure corporate media will side with the GQP and not even mentioned the progress. California also have billions of dollars in surplus, but alas, corporate media and the GQP figures Democrats can wave their wands and pronto everything is fixed.

6. With that surplus,

California must be doing something right.

I live in Texas and saw some dumbass with a shirt that said, "Don't California my Texas!" I wanted to say, "How'd that winter storm work out for you, Fucko?"

Freaking dumbasses out here.
