=== Central Issue: Truck Shortage (02:52) ===

[00:00:00]  used to move containers in and out of the ports operating the ports 24/7 will not cure the issue because all it does is pile up more containers that sit idle as they await a limited number of trucks to pick them up and then whoever wrote this writes in bold this is the central issue on October 16th 2020
[00:00:29]  The EPA reached a settlement agreement with California Air Resources Board to shut down semi-tractor rigs that were non-compliant with new California emission standards.
[00:00:44]  And here is the direct quote from the EPA, or I assume it is, it might be from somewhere else.
[00:00:54]  Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced settlements with three interstate trucking companies imposing $417,000 in penalties for violating the California Air Resources Board's federally enforceable truck and bus regulation, drayage truck regulation, and transport refrigeration unit regulation.
[00:01:21]  As trucks are one of the largest sources of air pollution in California, EPA will, you hear that?
[00:01:29]  Trucks are one of the largest sources of air pollution in California.
[00:01:34]  So therefore, we can't use half the trucks to pick up things from the containers.
[00:01:43]  We won't let them in.
[00:01:49]  My dear friends, How much are trucks picking up containers on California ports, how much are they contributing to the warming of the planet?
[00:02:04]  The answer is that it is so negligible as to be preposterous.
[00:02:10]  Lunatics run the EPA because environmentalists are bored, white, rich.
[00:02:23]  Empty souls looking for meaning in life to control others and save the planet.
[00:02:32]  I mentioned white because I rarely do because it normally doesn't matter to me.

=== Catastrophe At The Ports (00:44) ===

[00:02:38]  But I really wanted to specify who was behind the wreckage caused by the environmentalists.
[00:02:48]  The left-wing rich.
[00:02:51]  That's who.
[00:02:52]  The bored rich are destroying life for the non-rich.
[00:03:00]  This is a great example.
[00:03:03]  This is a catastrophe at the ports.
[00:03:08]  This is why people can't get things, including food.
[00:03:12]  It's one of the reasons your food prices are so high.
[00:03:17]  Everything the left touches, it destroys.
