Have you noticed that the amount of products on store shelves has been getting smaller and smaller with the ability to find common everyday items growing harder and harder to find?
There is now a two fold answer to why this is happening. It has been well publicized that there has been a problem getting cargo ships into ports and unloaded due to labor issues. As of the time of this article there are over one hundred ships sitting off the California coast waiting for a chance to dock and offload.
That's a terrible and unprecedented problem.
Unfortunately for the American consumer there is even more bad news. The goods that make it to port and actually get offloaded are packed inside shipping containers and those containers get loaded onto trains for shipment across the country. Those trains leave the port and travel through the city of Los Angles. Unfortunately once those trains enter the city they are pounced on by thieves who break into the containers and pull everything out. The thieves rummage through the contents for stuff they can sell and leave everything else all over the tracks.
Did your Amazon order never arrive? Well that's probably because it's somewhere in the piles of garbage on the railroad tracks in Los Angeles.
In this video a representative for the Union Pacific Railroad blames LA County DA George Gascón's No-Cash Bail Policy for releasing the robbers that they capture within 24 hours so that they can return to the tracks to rob their trains.
