The bottleneck at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are continuing to cause supply chain issues across the country...

But, Texas Governor Greg Abbott says he has a solution!!!

Gov. Abbott invited companies this week to redirect their cargo ships that are waiting to get into the California ports and send them to Texas instead. According to a new ad on Twitter, port delays are up to 100 days in California... but it would only take two weeks to sail to a Texas port off the Gulf of Mexico (via the Panama Canal).

The ad says: "Escape California. Everyone is doing it."

However, a spokesperson for the Port of LA said that some of the ships are so big that they wouldn't even be able to fit through the Panama Canel.
