If the labor shortage and trade restrictions help to explain port congestion and persistent delays in truck and rail transportation, then would opening up our borders to trade and immigration alleviate our problems?
It is a slow process and only if the labor skills match the demand for labor in all of the area where there are shortagages. Also, there is a throughput constraint at the ports.

this quote from NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke, a custom home builder from Tampa Fla.
“Without large economies of scale, small businesses generally cannot negotiate bulk discounts on lumber and other key building materials,” said Fowke. “The effects of this uncertainty trickle all the way to the buyer, many of whom have balked at projects at the last minute due to unexpected price increases.”
is exactly why we are building Pakira – to serve these small businesses and give them tools to become more competitive in volatile markets.
