San Diego port officials have decided to send all incoming cargo vessels to Malibu Beach due to the covid infections rates of dock workers who have been busy unloading ships from China.
Taking a page from California history, Governor Newsome has declared that all arriving cargo vessels are to be beached at Malibu and abandoned. This precedent was set in 1849 in San Francisco when arriving ships were abandoned by their crews. Years later the abandoned vessels were covered over to produce more land for local real estate speculators.
This announcement has further impacted Malibu Beach home prices which had nose-dived after PG&E’s announcement two weeks ago of contract signings with state and Federal governments to build a 3,000 tower windfarm just off Malibu Beach as part of the Great Green Reset.
Ok, that got a chuckle. Nicely done! Not quite Babylon Bee level, but in that direction, which is high praise.
If you’ve ever seen pictures of San Francisco bay during the Gold Rush, it is amazing - ships packed together, with no crews remaining to pilot them to other places. Seamen would sign on in some far-off port, get to San Francisco, then disappear into the hills looking for gold.
My understanding was that the ships were cannibalized for building materials (for actual buildings).
very nice LOL
