Crew Of 'Ever Given' Could Be Stuck On The Big Boat For Years
Jalopnik ^ | 4-21-21 | Erin Marquis

So apparently a ship, sailing under the Panamanian flag, owned by a Japanese company, operated by a German company, staffed by Indians and stuck in Egypt has no international guarantees of rights for its workers not to end up in a kind of floating solitary confinement. The world literally runs on this kind of shipping and it’s only possible because of these sailors that companies can apparently abandon if that’s how the spreadsheet shakes out. That’s fairly discouraging. Hopefully, the crew of the Ever Given can get some justice, and a flight home, soon.

Apparently, it isn’t unusual for crew members to get trapped on ships caught in the middle of international shipping disputes. The Guardian details the fate of one sailor who has been the lone guardian of a ship for the last two years in the Gulf of Suez only 50 miles south of where the Ever Given has been held since it was freed back in March. He’s only allowed off the ship for two hour intervals to get food and water.

Maybe the 'black community' - a group that condemns white people for NOT freeing them from slavery FAST ENOUGH should get off their pity party and help these 3rd world people captured in hell by the shipping industry. It's a form of slavery and the black community needs to 'give back' to the world that freed them. Your turn black citizens. Show us you can feel sorry for someone other than yourselves...

The sailors should not be held hostage by these disputes.

They should be repatriated to their home country and the expense of that added to what must be paid for the ship to be released.

With all the illegal aliens all over the place worldwide, no one is stuck anywhere.

“Says the beyond the treetard who’s still living in a Buckhead world.”

That world is called “Earth”.

On planet Qball they trust Sessions, Barr, Durham, Wray, and Rosenstein wears a white hat.

What’s it like to be wrong literally all the time?
What’s it like to be played for a fool literally every day?
What’s it like to have to come up with endless excuses for never having a single one of your cult leader’s predictions come to pass?

It must really, really suck to wake up in your skin every day.

It takes time to search that many containers.

Searched for what?

“Search for what?”

Your level of awareness. 😉

Your level of awareness.

And your level of cluelessness? Because, after all, it you don't know then you don't know.
