Another 30% and everyone will be making $60 an hour. Those that are left that is. 😉

Maybe because seaports and railroad tracks aren't portable, there's no competition, and in most cases, the labor costs still pale in comparison to the fixed costs of running those operations?....

If you don't like the costs of the seaport in Long Beach or San Bruno, you're screwed. There are three or four options at most for unloading a container ship or car carrier in SoCal, and the companies are able to pass the cost along to customers.

Ever look to see how many different options there are to fly from BOS to SoCal?.... Nine or ten different airlines, all with different operating costs, and all with different levels of service. Good luck exerting any pricing power when you have a highly differentiated market....

maybe that is why they are moving the ports to Mexico and building a super highway up from TX to Canada
