Mark, trying to pick a fight with me, over something I did NOT say, is NOT all that "persuasive" a refutation.

You just stated that I called someone else "stupid", which I did NOT do! This is the same thing that YOU came onto this thread to cavil about someone else doing to you.

And yes, I am well informed. Unlike so many, I know that DPW bought P&O. I also know that neither company OWNED/OWNS the terminals, nor would either be in charge of PORT SECURITY nor the UNLOADING of the ships. I also know that this began as a purely POLITICAL hosing by Chuckie Schumer, with more than a slight tip of the hat for the Longshoremen's Union and some BIG Dem supporters.

Noe of which has anything whatsoever to do with Judge Alito and if YOU don't know that, or are going to pretend that you don't, then, well.....that's YOUR problem.

Ummmm ... not that I know the exact legal structures, but P&O/DPW owns something that resembles "terminals" at least to the extent of having long term leases that support a capital investment in buildings and other infrastructure on land owned by local government entities.

Whoever is handling the containers is necessarily involved in unloading the ships. I'd say P&O/DPW is most directly involved in this regard.

But a segue here is timely, becuase P&O/DPW dosn't directly undertake the unloading and transfer activities. It has US subsidiaries, Joint ventures, and in short, a shitload of other company names come into play.

I wish I knew the details, I'd lay them out here. But looking at Miami as an example, there are enough players - it makes wrapping the mind around the deal more than easy.

Now, time for you to quote Sullivan, per your promise.
