Lincoln Logs Redux

 The political braintrust along with the developers that own and run Salt Lake City came up with a brilliant solution to the current housing crisis. Salt Lake has priced itself right out of the affordable housing market. Back to the theme for this here Saturday, the local politburo decided that shipping containers would make for some really spiffy housing for all those that are ass out when it comes to affordable housing. You see those shipping containers, which everyone sees loaded onto flat railway cars and winding their way to stores and shopping centers all across America, seem to be ideal for ready made homes. Don't need to lay foundations or crap like that there. You know like walls and ceilings and except for a need to cut windows and doors into the shipping containers, well, slam a shipping container on the ground and PRESTO! Ready made for occupancy homes. Toss in some plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinets, closets, and all the necessary junk that makes for a home and you're almost all set to rent or sell or whatever. Turns out the shipping containers stack up just like Lincoln Logs. Wow and go figure. Lincoln Logs were a big hit for boys of all ages back in the day. The Lincoln Logs were designed and marketed to boys so all you nonbinary assholes...GET OVER YOURSELVES! Well, there's a hitch in the old shipping container to housing giddy up. All and I mean ALL the shipping containers that might have been converted to housing are sitting at anchor just outside shipping ports all up and down the east coast and the left coast and they is just no available containers to be converted. Pity that. So that's why President Joe Biden decided that shipping ports will be open 24/7 for the foreseeable future. The Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, ports in Oakland, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, the Port of New York and New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, and any other dang port city that might just have the shit necessary to unload those shipping containers will be working overtime to get those shipping containers unloaded and ready for the incredibly short on shipping containers housing market. Gosh, who knew? I didn't. I almost and for a certainty did NOT care in the least. Shipping containers to homes...almost a dang genius idea for sure. I could suppose that the notion to turn shipping containers into houses is a booming idea for the longshoremen and iron workers. Well and the electricians and plumbers. However for the developers and home builders, the idea is a bit offensive. There's no money in the idea for the developers and home builders. Dang if'n that don't just figure. Oh well and c'est la vie. Machine art is next.
