Anybody who remembers Westview being an indoor mall is an OG. I don't remember a drive in movie theater there tho. I remember Caldor before it moved to where Foreman Mills is now. The movie Theater use to be where Home Depot and HH Greg or who ever owned that building. That was a Circuit city

I see you niccas...
Stop it, they will just reroute to NYC port or Ft Lauderdale Florida
6+ hours from your intended destination is a major problem brehs...Coli maritime engineers and supply chain managers acting like Baltimore is the only port on the eastern seaboard

Stop. You can look the shyt up yourself.
You got Hampton Roads and PhillyObviously there are other ports...But would you want to deal with the extra days and money it would take to leave from Florida or New York?
And those are major ports already on schedules to be booked with other ships, so who even knows when all these rerouted ships would even be able to dock there?
Never attempt to undermine me.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
They aren't though...
cargo ships are literally the biggest and heaviest man made objects in the world. This ship is 1000 feet long and 150 feet wide. It's the Empire State Building on water.Other ports can't suddenly flex up. Remember when the Long Beach port got backed up? There's ships there now AND there's ships in route AND ships scheduled but not in route.Coli maritime engineers and supply chain managers acting like Baltimore is the only port on the eastern seaboard
You can't just say I'll pay you time and a half to people and will be out of this in a month or two. After a certain point people don't care if you're paying them overtime and they won't work. You have to flex up, hire more, train them, and then even if you hire more, there's not enough cranes, docks, forklift equipment...this is gonna be a whole clusterfukk for the remainder of the year.
Everything in supply chain is on a schedule...when you fukk that schedule up, the price of load goes up DRAMATICALLY.
EDIT: like my company, which isn't even a fortune 500, but is a multi-billion dollar company got into a situation where we were just naming the price so we could get loads scheduled. We were paying 4-5 times the normal price just to get loads moving when the Suez Canal shyt popped off.

All of this is what I immediately thought of. My last cruise left out of Bmore. Once we got off the ship we were back in DC within 90 minutes. Anything other than that would've pissed me off
