🔮Though the MS River has been re-opened, this brings up a darker second-order thought:

Are we prepared for a severe-to-catastrophic Gulf hurricane this year?

US export rail and container congestion (normal alternatives) will not be clear for the duration of hurricane season. ImageImageImageImage

This is a more thorough and expert-level treatment of the East Palestine derailment than anything I would be able to muster.

Maintenance and systems control failures were my immediate assumptions.

Corollary - it is remarkably easy to induce the latter through SCADA attacks.
Another expert on the issue of supply chains, infrastructure, and national security - @JoshuaSteinman - frequently discusses the risk of covert or overt attacks on US logistics and energy infrastructure.

It also continues to be a leading concern of military/intel officials.
Hardening our infrastructure and ripping out Chinese-manufactured hardware and software from our ports, rail, roads, and air networks would be priority one if @SecretaryPete had any intention of doing his job.

(Shipbuilding and Jones Act reform would be #2)

Food, energy, and water are the three things that sustain civilization - the oceans offer an abundance of each.

Established by the UN in 1982, Exclusive Economic Zones were created to resolve maritime disputes.

They have done anything but.

Thread.
Prior to the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982, maritime commerce and territorial disputes were settled via a complex maze of customs, agreements, laws, and treaties loosely called "admiralty law".

It worked, albeit messily.

2/
Often confused with the Law of the Sea concept, admiralty (or "maritime") law is the specific term for the body of laws and customs governing private matters of maritime commerce, such as shipping contracts, disposition of freight, and limits of liability.

The axis of the world turns upon control of four resources:

Protein
Water
Energy
Firepower

The first is the subject of this thread.

China's enormous population demands massive amounts of protein.

And a war is on for it.

Christmas Eve 2013, panicked calls to logistics managers working in the grain industry began flooding in.

Without notice, China had banned the import of any corn or corn co-product that contained more than a tiny trace of Syngenta's MIR162 transgenic trait.

2/
MIR162 (trade name "Viptera") was in its first full year of mass market release, spanning many hybrids of corn.

The trait is designed to kill insects that feed on corn plants, particularly various worms and corn borers.

These insects can devastate a farmer's bottom line.
