Seriously though! With this much money at stake they should have a small army of excavators, bulldozers, tugboats, and lord knows what else hauling this thing out of there.
But all I see digging the damn thing out is ONE LITTLE EXCAVATOR? That's all I've seen pictures of. Where's all the rest of the equipment? Am I missing something???
Shit, there's more than that at the local construction site on my way to work! And I guarantee you my local construction site has a lot less money at stake than the jammed up Suez canal does.
They're slow-walking this on purpose! CHANGE MY MIND!
Shutting down one of the major channels for shipping will certainly impact global trade, but I highly doubt it will create such a supply line failure that it will trigger a market collapse.
Covid did FAR more harm to our supply chain last year, and we survived that.
