(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) –
The disconnect between California policies and politics are at such odds with the rest of the country, it’s a wonder the other 49 states haven’t excommunicated the Golden State from the union.
Todays’ headlines are the perfect example:
- Rail strike potential grows, threatening to worsen supply chain backlogs, inflation
- California Looks to Ban Diesel Trucks at Ports by 2035
California’s Long Beach and Los Angeles ports process approximately 40 percent of container shipments coming through the U.S.
Does anyone in charge California care?
As the country’s supply chain backlogs still exist and continues to plague many industries, California’s nonsensical diesel regulatory rules threaten to worsen the supply chain – on top of a potential rail strike which could grind supplies throughout the country to a halt.
It’s as if the international bad guy Dr. Evil is trying to destroy America’s economy.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is obviously aware of the problem. In October, he announced he was committing $1.2 billion to support the state’s ports and freight corridors – although he claimed the backlog was “pandemic-induced.”
“Seventy percent of the program funding will go to projects that support goods movement through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” Newsom’s announcement said.
Good. The Long Beach port was already a problem.
But Newsom is ignoring his own California Air Resources Board’s ongoing economy-restricting policies by doubling down in blatant policies opposed to business interests, particularly those of large-scale corporations. “The goal is to push more than 30,000 heavily-polluting trucks to clean energy by 2035,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
