I think this will go through. China Inc will build one of those automated ports like in Rotterdam.... They unload the containers from the ships to robot lorries, which take them to the correct areas for loading on trains or trucks. This would never get accomplished in the Port of LA due to unions. Plus, the shipping companies are now enemy number one for the AQMD, etc saying they are the number one source of pollution.
