I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
So far Biden announced a task force for the Bab al-Mandeb which was a mess because there was no coordination, and shipping companies have redirected traffic around the Cape except Maersk waffled and decided they were going back through the Suez except the Hangzhou just got hit by a missile and then attacked by small craft so now they aren't.

Are you in Europe or US? East Coast or West? The Panama Canal drought continues so boxes to the East Coast are slower/more expensive. Same with European cargo. Container market has room in their schedules so maybe just increase lead times by a week. Oil doesn't so there might be a bit of an impact.

MSP vessels transited with an escort recently but big shippers have shown a reluctance to move ships through so a little bit worrisome government cargo is so easily disrupted during peacetime.

he had to have done something that will be spectacularly embarrasing to his commanders if it comes out considering this douche got transferred to command of NAS San Diego and retired an admiral.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_E._Gehres

I wasn't able to find his date of promotion to rear admiral so I'm choosing to believe he made admiral entirely from the old "tombstone promotion" tradition the navy had back then. If an officer retired, they got a promotion with no increase in retirement pay or associated benefits, just a courtesy title.

A lot of "retired admirals" were actually guys who retired as a captain and got that retirement bump.

I live about 300km away from the epicenter of the earthquake in Osaka and it was shaking for a good 30 seconds. Not strong enough to knock anything down, but strong enough for things hanging to start swinging a good bit, and long enough to start scaring me. My phone started blasting emergency notices at me, which gave me enough time to get my kids and sit down. I turned on the TV and a few minutes later a tsunami warning was published, which was expanded multiple times to cover the entire northern coast of Japan. Just like that tweet posted above, newscasters were (and still are) practically screaming at people to run for their loving lives.
