Over $31 billion in trade is rail-landlocked or stuck at anchor off U.S. coasts.

KEY POINTS
$1.5 billion in trade is landlocked at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles waiting for rail service.

Rail dwell in San Pedro Bay is over 11 days, almost four times what it was in January 2022, and a labor dispute between rails and unions led the Biden administration to establish an emergency board on Friday to head off the potential for a strike.

Roughly $30 billion in trade is on vessels anchored off the East Coast and West Coast, and the situation in Europe is similar.>>>

The (combined) national and international economic systems are dis-eased.
Dis-eased as in 'not at ease' as well as sickened, diseased.
It is as though manifesting in a 'hardening of the arteries'.
