One line is your grid? One line with multiple junctions which may mean cargo had to be taken off one train and put on another? That's your grid?
which is?
If there was such a demand for imports down south why weren't those goods taken to their closest port like Charleston or New Orleans.
you said just the Mississippi and Ohio. Hell forget the Ohio. Do you have any idea how much traffic flowed up and down the Mississippi?
You're the one claiming there was a massive supply chain centered on New York. How did they get to the Mississippi?
This is what I was saying before about how this has become an endlessly repetitive waste of time. The owners of the goods had to eat most of the cost of the tariff. They could not pass it on to their customers due to domestic ie Northern competitors who - once they'd been saddled with a tariff - were price competitive with them.
Why couldn't they pass the price on?
Compared to you? LOL! I'm a font of knowledge.
A fountain of opinion. Long ago DiogenesLamp and I reached a sort of agreement where he believes I am and idiot and I concluded he is a moron. I think you and I are at the same point.
As I posted last night, your trolling has come to an end here. We’ve gone over all we need to go over and repeated the same old same old as many times as we’re going to in the 600+ pages of this thread and in numerous previous threads. You’ll just have to try to waste somebody else’s time if you want to continue this. Buh bye.
