They should’ve passed a multibillion dollar cruise ship bailout to be divided between all US flagged ships.

lightpole posted:They do this with MSP money to account for the increased cost of US mariners. Trying to get any increases passed on at contract time is impossible, companies insist it's their money. What I'm saying is NCL doesnt need that much money. Sure but the joke is you can allocate infinity dollars for US flagged cruise ships because there aren’t any.

Hawaii probably needs a serious bailout right now so it might not even have been a bad idea! Though I guess that'd flow through to Norweigan cruise lines...

Pryor on Fire posted:Was the Mercy the ship used as a prison/torture ship by the CIA or were those different boats? I can't even remember all the crimes anymore. The USNS Mercy and Comfort are giant ships that scream "USA USA USA" and are painted white. So 50/50 chance. CIA usually at least maintains some deniability though, I would assume they'd use some random container ship?

Arrath posted:Lets say a supercarrier is to mutiny and become some roving mercenary for hire/pirate group. Would sinking it actually be an option? Wait for it to come to shore to resupply? Wait for it to need to refuel? How often does a carrier need more JP-5? I'd figure pretty often? I mean, unless you don't use any aircraft...

Fallom posted:Did people think Bernie was still going to get the nomination? He lost a month ago. It was still technically possible, but the more important thing at the moment is that if he had broken some delegate threshold he'd have more power in drafting portions of the platform. By dropping out below that threshold, Biden delegates will be the only delegates able to propose additions to the platform. In other words,  to all the delegate/superdelegate changes from 2016

facialimpediment posted:This is one of those cases where the bullshit of the stock market makes my brain hurt, so I can't mentally comprehend ETFs, even though I've been explains how they work, what they do, and how poo poo goes fucky when they go sideways. Its best to go all the way back to the fundamentals of futures and work forward. ie, futures exist so someone that makes a physical commodity can be sure that they'll get a certain price for a product they want to extract/grow/produce/etc now. ie, if I'm a hog farmer, I sell futures for pork bellies so I can be sure that someone will take all the hogs off my hands when they grow up. Same thing for oil - if you're an oil producer you want to be able to have some certainty about a minimum price for what you're taking out of the ground or else you just turn things off. What everyone is talking about is a contract for people to take delivery of oil of a certain grade from a certain region of the US at a certain place during the month of May. So if you buy this contract, you're responsible for having a truck or time on a pipeline ready at Cushing, Oklahoma ready to take delivery of so many barrels of oil some time in May. You're not buying a literal barrel of oil - you're buying oil to fill a barrel you take up to the spigot (so to speak). These contracts usually have some value because oil is a valuable commodity so people bundle those contracts into things that can be traded on the market. Now you have people buying oil contracts that don't actually want to take delivery of the oil so you build a gently caress off giant tank farm at the place of delivery and store any oil that is delivered until people sell it again. Thats fine because oil always has SOME value right? The worst case scenario is you just let it go to the refineries for almost nothing. Except - what happens if the unthinkable happens and nobody wants to take the oil away from there and the tanks all fill up? You're now on the hook to have a truck or whatever at a terminal in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma and to accept a bunch of toxic waste you are now violating a bunch of federal laws by incorrectly accepting.

facialimpediment posted:NOW I get it. Also why previous days' news articles were talking about how a lot of oil storage people are basically floating oil on barges in the middle of nowhere, just sitting there. Not sure. I'm looking at the details for the first time and I found the actual contract information: https://www.cmegroup.com/content/dam/cmegroup/rulebook/NYMEX/2/200.pdf Apparently you do actually have to have a pipeline ready to accept the oil at the time, you can't just have a truck there (though I'm sure you could work something out with an operator). Minimum unit for delivery is 1000 barrels too. edit: i guess defaults would be under hte general rules, either way i'm assuming its along the lines of "you can't do this again" which would be a problem if you're running an oil ETF which is what most people do when they buy "oil" hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Apr 20, 2020 |

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I can't just buy one? Usually when you buy "oil" you're buying a share of an "electronically traded fund" which means that you're actually buying something from someone offering to take care of all those pesky issues for you. Those people seem to be in trouble!

Can you imagine President Biden negotiating a state bankruptcy bill with Mitch McConnell? Trump would seriously be friendlier to state government!

Vincent Van Goatse posted:For certain parts of the left, "centrist" and "liberal" have become meaningless snarl words. "Liberal" is the mainstream of the democratic establishment, "centrist" refers to the "third way" types - the right wing of the democratic party. The current overton window is skewed so far right that "liberals" would be at home with the loving torries in the UK.
