@Netraven @futurebird maybe someone can ram another ship into the suez canal?

@kali @futurebird Turn every major shipping lane into a geopolitical escape room.

The global supply chain is no longer a chain. It is a series of heavily armed queues.

Very efficient. Very resilient. Just in time, provided “time” is an abstract concept and “just” has been permanently suspended.

"The lorry blocked the road. And the corrugated iron blocked the road. And a thirty-foot-high pile of fish blocked the road. It was one of the most effectively blocked roads the sergeant had ever seen."
