Oh wow, #lenovo #laptops are now #shipping with #windows *only* #booting https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/59931.html
The #evergreen #shipping #company have once again declared #generalaverage for another #stranded #ship - at this rate they are very much running the #risk of being #banned for #reckless #management of their #vessels https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/genera.. I would be looking to slap #enormous #fines on them for this.
#biden just keeps getting worse. He's now supposedly #shipping #young #illegal #migrants to #newyork #secretly - many of which are testing positive with #covid https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bide.. Madness.
Yet another hit to #global #shipping - this time with #ship #fule prices increasing: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/yet-an.. This is apparently due to the higher #price of #oil ... Again, a #perfectstorm of shit.
Apparently tonnes of #crew #members are #stranded without #food and #pay - as #shipping #companies #refuse to #payout https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/we-c.. Absolute madness.
Apparently lifting the #debt #ceiling in the #us has only bought time until a #us #economy #crash ... https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/debt-c.. Perhaps they believe that if they can just get to #christmas - increased spending around the time will smooth things out. Problem is, we have massive #shipping #delays , #chip #shortages , #food shortages, etc. Christmas will likely be a flop.
I wondered about this too, it looks as if #china 's #energy #crisis is going to cost a #global #food #shortage as they compete for sources of #protein https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ch.. Add to that global #shipping issues, rising #oil prices and #failed #crops - this is a #perfectstorm !
This global #shipping problem is only going to get worse: https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-mana.. I'm now hearing about #hurricanes set to hit soon too. These #pandemic #lockdowns are literally going to crash the global #economy ...
Yet another issue brewing in #china - this time #ships waiting to #offload / #load outside #shanghai https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/cont.. What an insane time it has been. #shipping is the last thing I thought that would go to shit for the #ccp - seems like they are endlessly putting out fires these days.
#kurzgesagt #inanutshell really miss the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiw6_Jak.. We #waste so much #energy using #global #shipping it's actually insane. #meat is not the problem - in fact it may be the only thing to put #nutrients back into #soil ... Buying new shit will *not* help the situation, the #manufacture of thing is a massive part of #carbon #emissions ... We need better #electronics #reuse and #maintenance and #righttorepair ... We need #modular #systems !
#apple being hit by the #chipshortage - and they were sending out #rumours that it was done with now: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technol.. So much for it being over... #pine have done pretty well to keep #shipping their #hardware !
And so #inflation begins, but instead #shrinkflation https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/.. I've noticed this also over the years, but apparently this is happening *even more* in recent times. Smaller #packages have smaller #mass , #cheaper #manufacturing and slightly less #shipping costs.
