    i mean its a good thing for us to bring back the industrial base, not only does it make it easier for leftists to break the supply chain, but it also is better for the environment for us to not be shipping shit around on freighters forever

      In the 90s ocean shipping underwent a revolution and became remarkably efficient. Now with gargantuan container ships, computerized ports, optimized logistics firms, it's easier and cheaper than ever to ship by ocean.

      One of the reasons China's Belt & Road is a joke. Ocean shipping is 14x cheaper than by land. No traffic jams or flat tires on the sea.
