This is the best summary I could come up with:


Marine traffic in and out of the Port of Baltimore was suspended until further notice after a massive container ship smashed into the four-lane Francis Scott Key Bridge early in the morning, causing it to collapse and sending cars and people plunging into the river below.

More than 40 vessels, including small cargo ships, tug boats and pleasure craft, were stuck inside the port.

“While Baltimore is not one of the largest U.S. East Coast ports, it still imports and exports more than one million containers each year, so there is the potential for this to cause significant disruption to supply chains,” said Emily Stausbøll, market analyst at Xeneta, an ocean freight shipping rate benchmarking and intelligence platform.

Three vessels inside the port had been due to load commodities, while other smaller ships, including pleasure crafts, were also unable to leave, separate data showed.

Top Danish container shipping group Maersk said due to the damage to the bridge and resulting debris, it was omitting Baltimore port from all its services “for the foreseeable future, until it is deemed safe for passage through this area.”

The container ship Dali, which collided with the bridge on Tuesday, was chartered by Maersk at the time of the incident in Baltimore.

I don’t understand why anyone would downvote this.

I did a few times when the “anti-AMP” robot came on Reddit. I was so annoyed by them like, “bitch, don’t tell me my link is dodgy, I didn’t ask for your help”. Then I clicked the little “Why?” link in those posts and learned exactly why they were right and I was a dumb little crybaby.

Psychological treatment. Efficacy may vary.

“I collect opened old cans of cat food.”
“You need therapy.”

“I collect money.”
“Oh wow, I have an idea for a startup and need investors!”

It never was and never will be about sustainability when profits are the only priority.

“Let’s play a game where everyone just tries to get as much for themselves as possible. Together! That way, we can utilize the human species’ most base emotions and cardinal sins in our favor! And then let that game run forever, and put in control of every single aspect of society, the planet, and people’s minds. That way, EVERYBODY GETS RICHER/WINS!”

The emperor has no clothes and is standing in the middle of the town square jerking off.

And we accept that, apparently.

I don’t get this post.

Are you saying that this will cause inflation to rise? Mind explaining?
