When President Joe Biden announced last week that the Port of Los Angeles would begin operating 24 hours a day, it left one of our listeners asking why the port wasn’t doing that already. We answer that, and ponder future supply chain relief. Plus, we answer some additional questions about the Great Resignation, Zoom’s carbon footprint and banana pants!
Here’s everything we talked about on the show today:
- “Pay or delay: Importers caught in shipping backup face limited options” from “Marketplace”
