BlackRock strikes deal to bring ports on both sides of Panama Canal under American control

Lol... "woke" is being cancelled as I type these words. The CEO is on the hot seat for several reasons... wait and see.

 

The captains are going to have to say their pronouns before passing through, get on the phone, Rick

 

Disagree all you want, but fact remains that tariffs on Mexico and Canada stand at 25% and only 20% for China. Want to defend that counterproductive, dumbass shit? . . . Of course you don't.

 

So why did you boy stick up for TicTok? Oh, yeah, patriotism ($$$$$).

 

I guess a Marxist would think that.

 

LOL! You cannot make this shit up. Rick, going to bat for Larry Fink and Blackrock. Obama's pal. The Clinton's best friend. The author of DEI.

LOL! What's it like to have no agency whatsoever?

 

They are invested heavily in a country that calls itself "communist" in ideology, and since my own retirement I think is heavily invested in Blackrock funds, I probably stand to benefit individually, not that I have any control of what gets bought.

 

Hmm. Was it "off topic" or "inconvenient to the narrative"?

Yeah, we know. . . No. 2.

 

Um, they're ports, not control points. That would be the locks or the (US) Navy on the approach to the canal. Which is pretty obvious, actually.

 

Not sure why anyone other than Panama should have control of the canal or its management, its their country

 

So you want the government owning more of the means of production?

 

Dude, I'm not saying Chinese companies owning a couple of ports near the canal doesn't mean China has influence over those PORTS -- you understand these ports, and the Panama Canal, are two separate entities, right?.... I'm saying this has nothing to do with Trump's supposed grievance that Panama is charging too much to use the Canal. Surely, you don't think these Chinese owned ports are setting the Canal passage fees, right?

 

Now we are applauding Black Rock? Sigh

 

Blackrock will monetize that canal until there is no money left to get

 

Everything is transactional now. We don't have allies or even friends.

Next time my neighbor needs to park in my driveway for something I'm gonna make him cook me dinner

 

I have another question ... if a Chinese Business owning these ports is part of some evil Chinese plan to do some unspecified bad thing to America, and China secretly controls all Chinese Businesses, then why exactly did China agree to sell these ports at lightning speed?
