They burn like 15x the amount of fuel to bring a container 1 mile compared to a cargo ship.
First, source? Second, when the cargo ship is also going over 15x the distance, it'd better be effective at longer ranges. Third, trucking is how you get cargo containers from the dock to where it needs to go. Expanding on that existing system and scrapping some of the cargo ships that are already overutilized just seems like it would be better for everyone. Faster, cheaper, strategic. And even if we do still have to ship by sea, the distance goes from fucking China to neighbor.
He's defending the Houthi wholesale and interviewed a pretty boy one giving him softball questions asking what fucking video games he plays. Sorry but what the fuck are you talking about?
The comment you replied to being mine which explained it's easier and cheaper to get something from a neighbor than the literal other side of the world. Correct. I believe your position was the opposite of that statement.
Sir we're turning cargo ships back into ones that use sails instead of engines due to the extremely high cost of using diesel as well as the apocalyptic climate cost. We can ship shit from Mexico to us using semitrucks. Land. That's so much more cost efficient I struggle to put it into words.
No way. They import electronics from the place that sells cheap electronics?!
No but honestly Mexico being our produce supplier and then using that money to get better electronics to make more food sounds like such a big win for us even if it mildly benefits China.
Logistics my man. It's easier and cheaper to walk down the street to get some milk than it is to get in your car, burn gas, drive for several miles, pick up the milk, then drive back. Mexico doing well is as good as Canada doing well. Strong neighbors are our biggest advantage.
Nothing would ever get passed then. Every party would vote for what their side aligns with. Concessions means taking a small loss instead of a complete one. For both sides.
But that kind of argument can go back to every generation for every sufficient advancement of media. "Without supervision your kids could watch something traumatizing on TV" i.e. horror movies, and I'm sure the same extends to the radio and even books. The world can be traumatizing but it isn't the world's responsibility to have kid-safe barriers on everything just in case.
