US-listed shipowners still don’t know their liability from Chinese port fees

▶️US-listed shipping companies favour benign interpretation of 25% US ownership rule that would exempt most of the public companies — but China will decide

US-listed shipowners still don’t know their liability from Chinese port fees

The phrase "intellectual desert" comes to mind... I think social media in its brevity turbocharges the natural psychological desire not to have gaps;to jump to conclusions. Yes, all gaps get filled but are you fulfilling those gaps or just dumping verbal offal into them?

I've been saying there is massive risks associated with "AI" for businesses... But we're going to wait to go down to the train wrecks & the asylums to be amazed by the damage of beta testing on an entire society...

When I was a kid we used to go out picking wild black berries...The whole family. It was tough when I was little bc I'd get stuck in all the briars. But Grandma would always fix a cobbler from them. The next day. We'd freeze the rest for the holidays.

My garden is almost dormant, but there are still blackberries ripening, which is a perfect dessert in itself, just heat them up a bit and add ice cream =)
