It was right there in front of you, you doddery old fool. Go and get your magnifying spectacles you bought off that Fox News ad.
Roads and highways leading into a port may not have enough capacity to handle the surge of trucks that come in to pick up or drop off containers when a tightly packed ship comes in. The intermodal terminals connecting ports and railroads may also get clogged with the sudden spike in traffic.

White House: US has donated 200 million COVID-19 vaccines around the world
The United States has donated 200 million COVID-19 vaccines as of Thursday to countries around to the world, a White House official said.
The vaccines were all successfully delivered and went to over 100 countries.
“President Biden has pledged that the U.S. will be the world’s arsenal of vaccines, and USAID continues to play a pivotal role in fulfilling the ambitious goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the eligible global population by next year,” Samantha Power, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), said in a statement.
The State Department also released a video on Thursday to celebrate the 200 million vaccines, touting that the U.S. donated more vaccines than any other country in the world and all at no cost and with no strings attached.
“This pandemic will not end anywhere until it’s defeated everywhere,” the State Department video said, showing images of the vaccines being delivered.
Over the next year, the U.S. will donate over one billion U.S.-made COVID-19 vaccine doses to low and lower-middle income countries, Power announced. She added that USAID is also helping provide oxygen services, testing, medical treatment, personal protective equipment for health workers to other countries.
“Today, Americans have 200 million reasons to be proud. USAID is honored to be at the forefront of this global vaccination effort unprecedented in scale, speed, and complexity, to counter the worst pandemic in modern history,” she said.
Biden last month pledged to donate an additional 500 million doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to the world, bringing the total U.S. commitment to over 1.1 billion doses across this year and next.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Well done Joe, that will get you some brownie points........
U.S. leadership approval rebounds from Trump low
A Gallup report published Tuesday found approval of United States leadership in 46 countries and territories hit 49% — up from 30% at the end of Donald Trump's presidency, and matching former President Obama's first year (2009).
Why it matters: Biden's efforts to reengage with the international community following the Trump administration appear to be improving the global approval ratings for U.S. leadership, though this poll does not take into account the withdrawal from Afghanistan in August.
Gallup said America's global approval ratings will likely continue to shift as it completes its polling for 2021, though it is unlikely to drop to Trump-era lows.
By the numbers: The transition from Trump to Biden significantly improved the approval rating of U.S. leadership in 36 of the 46 countries and territories surveyed by Gallup through the first half of the year.
Ratings improved the most among European allies, including Portugal (52 percentage points), the Netherlands (45 points), Norway (42 points) and Sweden (41 points).
After Biden assumed office, ratings of U.S. leadership decreased in just three countries: Russia, Serbia and Benin.
^ No one should be surprised by this, such was the approbation heaped on Trump and his rule by twitter.
My concern from afar, with only limited knowledge of a broken democracy, is the ability of an aging President who remains subject to public faux pas, despite the insularity provided by his team at the White House.
It prompts some thoughts and concerns for the future.
Can Biden survive his first term? Is the VP a suitable candidate to replace him if he does fail? Is the VP a credible successor in the next round of 4 years, leading such a powerful country?
She seems to have gone a bit quiet since the celebration of her inauguration?
