in the case of delivering cars to the east coast, this is a true statement.

this is a big accident but "no more car deliveries to the east coast" is silly

remember how the entire suez canal was stopped for awhile and then they just fixed it without the usa becoming mad max overnight

this will impact some numbers for a little while and that's about it

I'm just curious here, but with the steel girders in the water, the channel cut off, and the ability of people to commute within Baltimore, did that just kill Maryland's economy for the foreseeable future?

i have no idea what custom title should be
it took about 7 years for them to build the new Tappan Zee Bridge at about 4 billion and that opened up in 2018, we can use that as a benchmark to see how long the new one takes if/when they build it

both the rise in pork prices (hyperinflatioN!) and the fall back to normal prices (deflation!!) were seen as proof that china is collapsing
