Yeah, it is best that he avoid bodies of water, balconies & private aviation from now on.

To pass through the canal, you are required to hire a Suez Canal Authority pilot to guide the ship. The accident wasn't the captain's fault because he wouldn't have been in control of the vessel at the time, it would have been the hired pilot.

If supply drops when demand is high, they raise prices.

All those ships in a holding pattern with need unplanned refueling.

With the right stalling of product acquisition, you can cripple competitors.

I dont think its really known for sure what caused this yet, the ship was dealing with some serious winds though and all the cargo containers essentially became sails

Ya, it's very possible the captain somehow prevented even worse damage like actually CRASHING into the canal... which would shut it down for several months

You have a really tenuous grasp on economics lol. Can you even name any economists or their theories? This hurts the wealthy too. Simple human error here is far more likely than a global conspiracy that requires layers of cover-up.

Clearly it is beneficial for them to have to reroute shipping and spend millions more by adding however long it takes to go around africa.

Lol, layers of cover up, "it was the wind and a mechanical failure at the perfect time!".

Also, the long term benefits wealth hoarders. I know you'll just double down on ad hominem attacks since you can't refute the basic supply vs. demand graph.

Fyi, the current wealth hoarders are also the wealth controllers. I know you like to think our society is a free system but you'd be wrong, the global economy is controlled by very few people, most are also controlled by them, unknowingly.

You have to realize that something as complex and nuanced as the global economy is dependent on more than just basic supply vs. demand. This isn't a child's lemonade stand. First and foremost, the obvious thing you're overlooking is logistics. *More* money is having to be spent to circumvent the problems this has created. No wealth hoarder is going to willingly create a situation where they have to spend more money.

You don't know anything about what I think, apparently. No idea where you get the idea that I think "our society is a free system" when I've never said or indicated anything remotely close to that. Also, most people (at least on this forum) are aware that billionaires have disproportionate power in a capitalist system. You're not revealing some hidden information to anyone there.

I dont think you understand that article Lok

It isnt blaming the stock fiasco on alt-right social media users, its talking about how groups like the Boogaloo movement used it as a way to expose more people to their conspiracy theories and attempted to recruit members in places where people gathered online to talk about the gamestop stocks

One of the busiest global shipping canals is suddenly blocked by an oversized vessel spun 90 degrees on the windiest day at the most narrow point because 1 person made a mistake, YEAH RIGHT.

I promise that it has been blocked on purpose.

They warn high profile land vehicles to be careful on windy days.

Allowing that high profile, heavy vessel into that narrow channel at that time wasn't a mistake.

Actually it really is that easy to believe. The problem with conspiracy guys like you is that you always give the powers that be way too much credit. Even at the highest levels there's lots of incompetent people. Have you been under a rock the last few years. Look at the previous US administration. It's a wonder how many important things in the world go as smoothly as they do to begin with.

This isn't a movie with shadowy groups in charge. Those known faces are very powerful and influential and corrupt, there's no need to invent bogeymen. It's just that a lot of them are buffoons too. Its because they're powerful they're clowns. It's called hubris. Then you have smarter ones like Putin who I can assure you is very much in charge. If you told me he was in charge of the US too that would make more sense than whatever else you're going on about.
