The reason we are havnig shortages is becasue they are simply not sending ships to the USA because our ports are full, and so are the warehouses of most of our goods. We dont get direct shipments anymore and everything is piggybacking on ships coming from europe and africa.

East coast ports, just waiting:

You can see we still have some flow of ships from china on the west:

But even in LA/SD for example you can see most of the container ships are still just waiting to drop stuff off, its incredibly wasteful for them to ship stuff to us, when we are not unloading it fast enough.

So what is happening is that most of the chinese goods are going through asia, africa and to EU first, because they can stop along the way and unload stuff, pick stuff up, and then send it over to us.

So we're getting less shipments, but it's because we're just taking in less because we have a supply chain breakdown at our PORTS/trucking, not at the shipping level.

This is what the shipping lanes to the USA used to look like on both coasts.

If it made sense to send that many ships directly to us again, we'd be back down to 9k a container.
