"In what appears to be a freak accident, a Panama-flagged container ship called the Ever Given, owned by Evergreen Marine Corp., has run aground inside the Suez Canal, the critical artificially made shipping lane connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean.

Known as a critical chokepoint for the global oil trade, the Suez has become blocked in both directions thanks to the peculiar angle of what's been described as a 'megaship.'"

Its hard to believe that ship is STILL stranded in the Suez Canal. How is this possible in this day and age with all the technology?  And that name ... “Ever Given” ... its living up to its name ... ever means always ... “always given” grief for the other sailors.  Wouldn’t it be something if all the containers on the “Ever Given” Indian ship are all the crapola junk headed for the Dollar Stores?! :mdrmdr:   Meanwhile the other ships stuck in the queue are probably the desired perishable foods that will be overripe and rotten by the time they reach their destination.

Methinks this was done on purpose in order to drive up prices and further destroy the economy and impoverish people.

Coincidence? I don't think so!
