    Getting murdered today after a long hot streak. Guess it's inevitable and I'll hold until it bounces back up, but sucks to see after having positive gains for weeks straight.

    Just hit 1 full year of being unemployed.

    Streak ends (barring disaster) in 2.5 weeks, but it hasn't been that bad. Thanks, government!

    Suez Canal blockage is delaying an estimated $400 million an hour in goods
    "You have stimulus checks going into the hands of consumers. [Some] businesses are running out of inventory. How can you have a stimulus if you can’t buy anything?" said one logistics analyst.

    Perhaps the intent of the stimulus wasn't to immediately purchase car stereos from china but to pay for child care, food, and a place to live.

    Ikea confirms that they will have supply chain issues due to the Suez Canal blockage. On the Ever Given alone, there is 110 containers with product belonging to the retailer. The Ever Given also has 134 containers filled with PPE bound for the UK.

    So like we're getting close to being able to colonize Mars. Is it really that difficult to move a big chunk of dirt to get this fucking ship unstuck?

    I'm not sure if the first or second sentence is funnier. Well done.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    You know. Egypt is fairly poor as fuck. What’s stopping them from trying to make mad money off the canal? (When it isn’t blocked that is.)

    They do charge a toll to use it: https://www.suezcanal.gov.eg/English...alculator.aspx

    https://www.businessinsider.in/busin...w/81708146.cms

    On an average, over 50 ships pass through the canal and the Egyptian government makes about $16 million a day from the toll collected from these ships.

    $16mil per day vs. $400mil per hour seems like a pretty thin margin

    $320,000 per ship feels pretty hefty though

    Yeah, but clearly not enough. Or I guess just being pocketed by el-Sissi. We send them so much fucking money and they still barely got electricity. Of which they are on the verge of completely losing.
