The Shipping News

 Mitch McConnell's wife has a Chinese shipping company.  The price a business pays to ship a container from China to Long Beach or from LA to China has risen to $20,000.  $20,000.00 for ONE metal container.  That's a tidy profit.  It's beneficial to be a Congressman in America, although the Constitution forbids it.  To reap personal gain from an elected office meant to serve the Republic is contentious.  America is in a state of contention, and North Carolina is a state of hypocrisy.  Republican led gerrymandering is rampant in North Carolina, and they have yet to redraw district lines fairly.  McRae Dowless, a Republican political operative, was convicted on multiple felony counts.  North Carolina's General Assembly is the Big Bad Wolf, and the state is its hen house.  Multiple foreign nations own businesses in North Carolina including Chemours, who have been dumping Gen X into our rivers, air, and ground water for decades.  I have a hand growing out of my butt from showering in Cape Fear River swamp water.  (not really)  We stopped drinking that filth years ago, but I still cook with it.  Teflon is in the bloodstream of every single person on earth.  Bezos and Musk may not be good guys.  To let them build personal satellite systems with no federal regulation...   The ill effects of the George W. Bush Presidency are lingering.  Bill Clinton created the first real wireless network.  Al Gore didn't create the internet.  Skynet is bad, and it is time to review historical science fiction movies.  (even bad ones)  Their predictions are accurate, and we need to pay attention.  Who will be America's modern day James Bond?
