Who had the smart idea of "just in time" parts supply? Would the supply chain issue be less if manufacturers had more parts inventory, like they used to?

Google is only the search engine. The news stories came from other sources that regularly fact check rumors on social media and rw media.

[quote=jeep_daddy] The problem is the government in California. They have imposed an EPA measure that won't allow tractors older than 2008 on their highways. Those tractors are expensive and the owner operators make payments for years on them and when they are finally paid off, they can start to make some good money. But now they are forced to get rid of their paid off tractors and make payments on a newer tractor. This isn't right. So now there aren't enough trucks and truck drivers to get the containers out of port. It's not the ships fault. It's not the harbors fault. It's the government of California's fault. ]

Hmmmm. I just Googled to find the truth about the backup. Result: It is not due to truck regulations. False social media rumor.

Are you trying to take Christmas out of Commerce??? Shame....

I used to live in the area, went through the old one often. The real problem was people not obeying the signs about what maneuver was allowed from each lane.

Now, that's funny! You Canadians!

I think the clerk is taking advantage of a guy buying two copies...maybe he can't do the math?

Opportunity knocks.....

My 2013 Jeep GC has auto wipers, and when it rains they come on, and turn on the headlights, too. The running lights are on at all other times.

There is a snack shop in Boothbay, Maine, with a sign painted on the side, which says "Free Beer Tomorrow"

When I lived near Ocala I loved going to Mount Dora. It is a nice town with historic buildings. There is also a boat trip that takes you through a wildlife area and a chance to photograph some birds. It departs from the old hotel.

Damariscotta, Newcastle (the Twin Villages), and the Damariscotta River, a twelve mile long tidal river with beautiful scenery. Take a boat trip if you can.

And just who tried to violently overthrow the government? It wasn't "leftist scum." (your term). And the "useful idiots" (your term) are the people who don't believe in elections, unless they win. These are the same people who spent 4 years saying "elections matter."

Finally our elected government is paying attention to police intimidation and brutality, committed by a few, but wrong, instead of encouraging it.
