This year the Panama Canal had a drought. That made traversing the Canal more difficult. Water levels were lower. Container ships, carrying heavy fuels, needed to be lighter and only 32 ships went through daily. Down from 38 ships Next year or next month, when the heat intensifies, shipping will decrease and consumers will pay more for goods.
Who’s advocating for changing our technology now? Who’s advocating for the War Production Act? If we change technology, we don’t have to change our lifestyle!
