It's just that you would think that a $140bn company would have its poo poo together... if you had no experience of the world under capitalism.

Just as an FYI, we got word from our Freight partners that the big shipping companies are avoiding the Suez canal because of the attacks on cargo ships off Yemen.

It wont affect anything in the run up to Christmas, but pretty much all goods east of the Med will get an extra 4 weeks travel time. I'd say it would affect clothing & electronics goods the most so we might get delays.

The Evergiven was only stuck for 6 days, now a bunch of the biggest shipping companies have all stopped sending freight through there, for a longer period of time, this is going to be even worse in terms of sex arse shortages.

This is not as severe because the canal is not closed and even for the companies that have announced that they will avoid it, their ships that are already past the Yemen coast will keep going. The Evergreen crisis was different in that the halt was abrupt, total and there was no information of when it would be cleared.

Although this time there's a chance that your lust bum will arrive with extra holes.

Yeah but it can go on longer. Would they rather have the canal completely closed for 6 days where they know the problem is being dug out, or essentially half-closed for months while knowing that could keep getting extended?

That's the kinda thing that can result in people winding down production, because where do you warehouse all these sex arses? Just In Time doesn't do warehousing.

Stanley Root, a former audit partner, with 29 years’ experience at one of the Big Four accountancy firms, disagreed with the mortgage comparison: “A house is a once- or twice-in-a-lifetime purchase for most people. They take out a mortgage because the cost of a house far exceeds their salary.

“Water companies take out loans every year … even when their annual income is more than enough to fund investment in building new assets. This is because they need to pay dividends to shareholders.”

A better analogy, he said, was “a person who is given a credit card with a big credit limit”, and chooses to pay a recurring cost like repairs from their card.

“They could pay for the regular annual repairs to their house out of their income […] but they pay for the repairs to their house with their credit card and use their income to pay for a luxury holiday in the Caribbean.”

Sell them to the US carrier group stuck out there on extended deployment. I'm sure the Navy could appreciate a load of arse.

It was the Archbishop of Westminster (the RC one). Can't see anything from the Archbishop of Canterbury (the CofE one) who is a tory.
