talked up Florida's ports to companies impacted by the supply chain crisis during a Tuesday press conference in Jacksonville. Along with touting the capacity and reach of the ports, the Republican leader also said the state will give incentive packages to companies that bring ships there.
DeSantis made his pitch from Jaxport in Jacksonville. He said a European container ship supplier recently decided to start using Jaxport as its U.S. unloading destination and as a result, the company was able to bring an extra 1,000 containers a week through the port. A number of factors play into the port congestion. Among them are a pandemic-related surge in demand for goods in the U.S.; an outdated freight and rail system; factory shutdowns in China and Vietnam and a shortage of longshoremen.
That's really not how shipping works 🤷🤷
DeSantis says come to Florida instead of California and receive a free case of COVID-19!
He's telling ships to Covid-down to Florida. IMHO
Would have to be a helluva an incentive. That’s a long trip.
