Itās not even remotely political, perhaps itās just nobody wants to hear political hot takes on a car forum.The article is behind a paywall but Iām willing to bet that this article is political.
The admin thinks Iām being political by stating the obvious.
Maybe someone will post the article and we can see whoās right.
What I got from it is that manufacturers worldwide have bought into an automated delivery system that sets up each item far in advance (your train car or truck # for example), and if ANYTHING keeps the item from being available for shipping at the moment it was supposed to, there is not a competent back-up plan from the shipping companies. Obviously, this also applies to inbound (parts). The system is frail and now relies on the individual truck drivers and the railroads to pick up the slack- only their plate is full as they are also obligated to empty ports and hubs. There are no "extra" rail cars, truckers, etc.Well, for those that could read it, what was the bottom line?
