The Biden-Buttigieg supply chain crisis continues to get worse and worse. With just a week to go until Halloween, there still remains over 100 cargo ships off the coast of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as good still aren’t making it to shelves. So what does Biden do about it? Go on vacation this weekend in Delaware.
The supply chain has no end in sight to the problems created by Biden and Buttigieg.

The logjam of cargo, container, and tanker ships trying to access Long Beach and Los Angeles ports has hit a record of 100 vessels as of Monday evening. Another 45 are expected to arrive in the next three days.
A view of the vessels from space looks like matchsticks scattered around the Southern California coastline, as ship captains pick their spot to spend the next week or longer waiting for a summons to dock. The ships are scattered along the shoreline for at least 20 miles.
The number of 100 vessels at anchor in the sea is a dozen higher than Friday and breaks a former record of 97 on Sept. 19, according to Capt. J. Kipling Louttit with the Marine Exchange of Southern California. The Marine Exchange is responsible for coordinating shipping traffic and piloting the vessels into port.
