One ship getting stuck can shake global trade. 🚢
This video shows a model of the Ever Given blockage in the Suez Canal, one of the biggest shipping disruptions in recent years. In 2021, the real vessel ran aground and blocked the canal for nearly a week, holding up hundreds of ships and delaying cargo, fuel, and goods moving between Asia and Europe.
It was a clear reminder that one problem in a narrow waterway can affect supply chains around the world. A small mistake at sea can turn into a global delay fast.
Do you think the shipping industry is better prepared for this now?

Se hizo una convocatoria pública para que todos los trombonistas de Nueva York llevaran su instrumento y despidieran a Willie Colón hoy, a la salida de su féretro de la Catedral de San Patricio, donde se celebró una misa en su honor. Mira el resultado:
🚨 CHINA IS LOCKING DOWN AFRICA’S PORTS ⚓
• 🇨🇳 40+ African ports financed, built, or operated by #China
• Coverage across Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Red Sea
• Several ports. Commercial today, military tomorrow
• PLA Navy access now stretches far beyond Djibouti
⚠️ Ports = power.
They control #energy, #Commodities , food, and #Military reach.
China isn’t surrounding #Africa.
It’s wiring itself into global trade infrastructure.
The real risk?
One day, access isn’t guaranteed.
The cleanest butcher in Texas tested every step of their supply chain to see where plastics are entering American beef @eatRadius
Whole Foods grass fed ribeye tested off-the-charts for toxic phthalates earlier this year, but no one could figure out where it was coming from... @natfriedman@plasticlistorg
Initial theories included:
- Plastic wrap on hay bails making it into cow feed
- Plastic cutting boards
- Butcher paper
These all turned out to be false.
Radius' levels of the main offending phthalate DEHP were 10x less than the Whole Foods average thresholds, and their in-house butcher process did not increase phthalate levels.
But why is their plastic in beef at all?
Radius' leading theory is the acidic washing and shrink-wrapping process carried out by many large US meat processors.
Meat is sprayed down with an acidic disinfectant to eliminate surface pathogens, then shrink wrapped.
The acidity breaks down the plastic, leeching into meat. Radius meat comes wrapped in loose plastic, leading to far less phthalate exposure.
Debugging our supply chains takes serious work, but the health effects of even tiny amounts of these chemicals are real.

Report: Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern could reach merger deal by next week
Union Pacific, the largest U.S. railroad, and Norfolk Southern could announce a tentative merger agreement as early as next week, according to a published report.
Bloomberg cited sources familiar with the talks in its report Friday.
Omaha-based UP (NYSE: UNP), the largest Class I railroad and NS (NYSE: NSC), headquartered in Atlanta, recently confirmed that they have been in advanced discussions regarding a merger that if successful would create the first transcontinental railroad. A proposed consolidation would produce a rail colossus with $200 billion in annual revenue.
