During his time so far as Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg has tackled such issues as parental leave and racist highway overpasses. But there are also problems at ports that need to be addressed… months ago actually. Now Buttigieg will reportedly head to California tomorrow to check things out:
INBOX: Tomorrow, Sec. Buttigieg will be visiting the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to meet with port leaders and to see the work that is underway to ease congestion and bottlenecks in our supply chain.

Wow, no public official addresses a crisis faster than Pete Buttigieg!
Whenever there is a national emergency, Team Brandon will get right on it in about eight or nine months (following a break for paternity leave).

Will Buttigieg take a page from Biden and promise to build a lot of windmills in the area in response to the crisis?
How many trips there does this make for Pete?

A record 105 container ships are waiting at Long Beach & LA ports.
There are 3x as many ships waiting for berths now than this time last year.
In other words, Biden & Buttigieg have done nothing to help "ease congestion." https://t.co/T0hJDwVNUW

Don't worry. The shipping bottlenecks are just transitory. https://t.co/DfgP6oPFs5

Just like inflation, right?
Only 5 months late.

Buttigieg has been otherwise distracted but at least he’s personally getting on that port problem now.
Having solved the supply chain crisis, Pete Buttigieg turns his attention to Tucker Carlson and paternity leave https://t.co/E8bTrmzAlR
