The "Green New Deal" turns out to be at the root of supply chain blockages in California
Sundance has done a deep dive into what's causing the massive container traffic snarl-up at California's ports and on its railways and roads. It turns out to be two interrelated factors.

As a consequence, that mean trucks cannot be older than 3 years if they are to pick up or deliver containers at those ports ...

Though there are notable exceptions, many American universities are actually worse than unsalvageable.
