From what I know today, I wouldn't have a problem with DP World running the port of Houston.

Then contact your local politicians and try and get them there if you think they will do a good job. We don't want them here. Should we have the right to prevent what we overwhelmingly don't want?

Sure. When the contract expires where you voluntarily turned over operations to an outside entity, you can take that responsibility back. Totally up to you.

But if you didn't put in the contract that you could block the sale of the contract to anyone for any reason or no reason at all, you hosed yourself, assuming the consequences are bad.

Other grownups have looked at the situation and made the decision that the consquences aren't bad, and certainly not as bad as you think.

So, no, you don't have the right to prevent it. At least not as the law reads today.

Will the law be changed shortly? We'll see. There will be an attempt.

It would be helpful for the rest of us here on this forum, it you would kindly consider DeCalf....

As for your claim that "We" "Overwhelmingly" don't want, after the majority of people have weighed the FACTS, the approval level has risen rapidly (when this pi$$ tsunami hit the continent.) to 37 % approve, 18% unsure (which means they busy weighing the FACTS) and 54% against. 54% is hardly "overwhelming" by the way.

In another day or two, as more FACTS come out, these numbers will change in favor of those who back the President.
