here. i remember when president biden came out and had that press conference basically about what he was going to do to pull every lever of the government available to try to juice the supply chain. and one of the things he said was that he was going to have the ports operating on a 24-hour cycle. so was there one thing that you would say helped this holiday season? well, no doubt the most important single thing was president biden s leadership in it. the president early on saying that those ports needed to operate more 24/7. started the ball rolling and started the cooperation rather than finger pointing that had plagued the goods movement chain prior to that. and it s not like a lightswitch. you don t go 24/7 overnight. we re seeing unmistakable signs of 24/7 operation which is where the capacity is in the goods system. whether it s the ports, highway
system, rail or the last mile delivery. and that s an important step forward. the president s relentless, persistent leadership in this actually broke the logjam. so what is your prediction for 2022? what can all of our viewers expect in terms of getting their packages and getting the supplies they need and grocery store food items, all of that. well, we expect continued improvement, but we should all expect the unexpected as well. we clearly had a goods movement chain where the pandemic bared the underlying reality. it was brittle and not resilient at all. we need to build this more resilient goods movement chain for the next foreign economic upset, natural disaster or anything else worldwide that could cause this again.
