I suspect the end game is that US ports will be sluffed off, from the deal. What the company really wanted were the more profited Asian ports poised for huge growth. The US ports were just poor cousins. That was in the WSJ I think. Hopefully, the US ports will be sold off to some union busting outfit, say from Singapore. Apparently, the buyer just announced a delay in that part of the deal. That I suspect is the precursor to the sluff.

I hope it doesn't fall victim to this BS. DP World is very good at managing their port operations. I won't fault Singapore, I've had to visit some of their shipyards numerous times, but I'll give DP World the head up on commercial port operations.

The more efficient the operator the greater the dividends to us.

Why?

Torie, don't tell me you've bought into the idiot xenophobia that the generic beer crowd is spouting?

At bottom, the opposition to this is based on blatant, ignorance and racism.

After this is over, we owe the UAE an apology for acting like a bunch of rubes.
