Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

The "it actually happens all the time but you weren't paying attention" excuse is starting to sound like cope to me.

I'm too jaded by this point, and these fuckers have used up all the good will to boot.

Once is enemy action. Twice is more evidence. Three times is certainty.

> Enemy Action

> Satanist pedophiles in government making another sacrifice and bringing misery to the masses

Same difference.

These things are manned by people from the poorest countries in the world paid starvation wages. I'm not sure how you're supposed to distinguish incompetence from malice.

The international cargo ships are. Like the Dali that hit the bridge in Baltimore was manned by Indians. These tug/barge setups are almost always manned by Americans because of the Jones Act.

By treating it like malicious homicide by default.

After the Vaal Reefs mine disaster a law was passed that made mine owners automatically guilty of homicide without trial unless they could prove that they had taken all possible steps to prevent an accident. Depending on the country in South Africa this could either means 15 years/life sentence or death penalty by firing squad/hanging.

Suddenly BAM! State of the art safety systems and proper protocols put in place to greatly improve safety and working conditions for miners in Africa.

Things will change when CEOs and shareholders will be put to the sword rather than have a wrists slapped with a negligible fine.

Yeah, but I was trying to highlight the difficulty of international regulation. Int'l shipping companies have the power here. Countries need them.

Shipping companies need countries more.

How many global shipping companies are there comprising, say, the 90% of volume, vs how many countries? I forget what we're arguing about.

I don't think it should matter how big a company is. If it fucks up, heads need to roll. And if said company decides to pull out from a country at sign of consequence then I consider that a dodged bullet.

I'm under no illusion that it would make things worse for the foreseeable future but sooner or later the breaking point will be reached as repeated offenders will only get more unscrupulous.

As much as I would like this to be a coordinated effort by some sort of enemy group, considering the sheer amount of incompetence in this country this really could be a side affect of decades of forced hiring of blacks, browns and women. It would still technically be enemy action, their main goal just wouldn't be collapsing logistics networks.

The DEI policies causing unqualified retards to be preferentialy hired and promoted into positions where their incompetence will cause damage is a coordinated effort by some sort of enemy group.

There are over 6 million car accidents annually in the US. When will the terrorists stop trying to shut down our roads and freeways! There are thousands of attacks a day! Why is no one talking about it?!

Maybe there could be something to it, but it just oozes confirmation bias. A big event happened so now we notice all the small events of the same type and because it's not something we're personally familiar with, we have no sense of scale.

If you're saying that it's the increasing population of retards and a competency crisis, then you're on to something. But I really doubt anyone is carrying out deliberate attacks. Besides the people pushing the diversity hires. That is the attack.

Car accidents that take down a bridge make the news too, so this isn't the own you think it is.

As I have said before, I do think the competency crisis is the cause of this.

I have to agree - if they wanted mass chaos, it would be much easier to just destabilize the power grid.

it actually happens all the time but you weren't paying attention

It actually happens all the time but you weren't paying attention. Normally these events make the local news and doesn't go any further. It's only because the national news is keyed up for "shit hits bridge" stories that you're aware of it.

If it happens all the time, can you give a list of some recent ones that took down bridges but hadn't made the national news?

So thanks for providing no links that showed what I was asking for.

And no, I'm not going to watch a video from 12 years ago that also doesn't show what I asked for.

So the most recent one of an event that "happens all the time" was 15 years ago.

Thanks.

And I'm sure it won't have numerous ties to Chinese companies just like the last half dozen blatantly deliberate rams.

To be fair, basically all shipping on Earth has ties to Chinese or Southeast Asian companies now.

More likely Chinese malware hijacking shipboard controls, and no one at any level of US government wants to admit they can't stop it.

Which would be pretty impressive malware given that ship's computers are air-gapped.

A DEI hire ignoring regulations and using a USB stick can defeat the air-gap.

No, that still happens all the time and is completely normal. In fact, YOU'RE the crazy one!

"Things that happen all the time just suddenly stopped happening." Do you realize how crazy you sound?

Just because it stopped happening doesn't mean you can go around gaslighting people into believing that these kind of things don't happen all the time.
