Summary
In recent weeks, the White House has attempted to make a greater effort to improve the functioning of supply chains. One effort includes getting the Port of Los Angeles, and the various companies who operate there, to operate 24/7. But this is going to be a herculean task.

| 1:12.0 | What do you think? I feel like we've been ahead of this. I think that's fair. I feel like we've |
