Well 23 container ships full of Chinese goods begs to differ with you.

They're cranking right now. I've sailed out of San Pedro for years, and I've never seen the container terminal this busy. The minute a berth clears up and the ship is outside the breakwater, a new one comes in. Tugboat crews must be making bank.

Clever. Who pays import tariffs, again? US consumers.

I used to sail out of San Pedro. Lots of wind in Hurricane Gulch. Commercial craft would yield right-of-way, but baaaarly, then they'd shave your stern and give you dirty looks. I would always wave hello 'cause I'm out there enjoying myself while they're working. I moved to Shoreline in Long Beach and loved it.
