Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables?

@jerryg123 ,

Not quite so....

The ports have handled record-setting cargo volumes over the last year, though they’ve hit a plateau. “Before the pandemic and before the surge in the American consumer buying patterns,” Seroka said, “during the peak season we would have one or two months where we move 900,000" twenty-foot equivalent units — or TEUs, the standard volume metric in ocean shipping — all told, including loaded imports and exports and empty containers.

“We’ve been averaging 900,000 containers a month for 17 months now,” Seroka said. “This is really peak performance.”

In the very article you linked, that statement kind of sums things up. Yes, they’ve asked ships to park farther out from the ports, but if you cared to read what you posted, they’ve been handling peak volumes for the last 17 months. Those numbers used to be only for a couple during shopping season.

That WSJ article still hits all the points as to why truckers aren’t keeping on truckin’. The numbers would be even higher if they ran the ports more efficiently and paid the drivers what they’re worth.

It was never about emissions. Blaming it on the spotted owl would have made more sense.

@nonoise Got the exact response I expected. I did read it and just said you need more sources.

Also they said :Suddenly we’ve taken care of one thing, then three others pop up,” he said Wednesday at a briefing to review the progress made in recent weeks reducing both the number of containers on site and ships waiting to offload. “We’ve got a long way to go and no one is declaring victory.”

Merry Christmas and get ready for more shutdowns starting in NY and CA.

@jerryg123, Got the exact response I expected. I did read it and you're the one who needs more sources if you want to continue down this road. 

I find it funny and sad that you'd link two sources that don't comport with your claims. Gee, I wonder what's driving up the demand to the point where the ports have difficulty in handling the orders?

Remember the article you linked? Operating at peak capacity for 17 months make this the former guys problem and not a peep from you back then. He didn't even try to address it. Every other week it was "infrastructure week coming in two weeks",  for 4 years. 

Of course it's a game of whack-a-mole as you have demand for goods higher than ever, private ownership of ports that want to make a buck off of this by lowballing truckers, and an ever changing playing field. At least someone is trying to do something about it.

And Merry Christmas to you as well as NY and CA properly prepare for the winter phase of Covid, keeping their people alive,  while the red states sacrifice their flock, writing them off as already dead so as to make political points instead of following expert medical advice.

All the best,

Dude I live in Chicago.

Merry Christmas and typical @nonoise onoise fashion you think you are having the last word.

@oldhvymec,  I can't disagree with anything you stated in your post, but a few pts. 1) I didn't work in a clean office setting, actually worked right out of HS in a explosive plant for 19yrs & went to college at night. I worked with every deadly gas known to mankind from ammonia gas, every acid from nitric, sulfuric, weak acid, mixed acid, asbestos to sewer stuff. Proper gears is life saving which obviously I used every single day there. (65).

2) As for the ports being privately owned correct, BUT who owns them, I know do you ? China controlled, what moron in govt like everything made that decision (without) the public's knowledge ? I know who. 

Yes, crony capitalism is at the heart of this supply chain issue. Here's a fantastic idea, what if we made everything here then no supply chain issue. But there's the dirty secret, but the secret is out, the reason why a set srew will cost us a small fortune is the massive Inflation 9.6% so this yr from last. Means your paying hfc with monopoly money loss in value. I'm done I could go on forever.

Let's keep this about music, fun hobby, hfc products. Why I pasted on the sales, great sales by the way Rick. I didn't want to pay today and wait mths to get my product in hand. My loss my system sounds great to Me. But want to try the nps 1260, still fighting myself on painting connections but I am curious like I was with mc.05s which I have 3.

They were a bigly surprise to my ears, still amazed.

Happy Listening....🎶🎵🎶
