Biden Demands Taxpayers Pay to Rebuild The Bridge in Baltimore

[excalibur]

But wait. Isn't the shipping company*, whose ship hit the bridge, carrying insurance? Isn't the bridge itself insured?

Sure, make the taxpayers pay and the Dems will spread the money around for their pals, etc. IOW, another slush fund for Democrats.

* And why are we hearing so little about the ship, the shipping company that owns it, the crew and Captain? It's like a cover-up in action.

the crew and Captain?

Why weren't the crew and captain drug tested and tested for drinking the moment it happened?

Why did the NYT run cover for them and the company that owned the ship?



I mean. . . why the hell didn't the authorities in the U.S., INSIST, the second this happened, to alcohol and drug testing them all? This is the only way the city/state could bring legal/liability suits against the shipping company?

When and why are corporation's profits more important than the taxpayers? It seems, the taxpayers are now sheep, to be slaughtered. .. and since the pandemic, quite literally.



All of this twitter/media alt conspiracy talk is meant to distract everyone from the real issue IMO.

. . . that is, global corporations getting away with ripping off the tax payers & making them pick up the tab, for CEO's continually cutting costs and royally fucking things up in an effort to chase profits.

What We Know About the Crew on the Ship That Hit the Baltimore Bridge​

One crew member of the Dali received stitches, then returned to the ship. It’s not clear how long they’ll have to remain on board.

" . . . The ship, owned by the Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd., had just embarked on a 27-day voyage to Singapore when it struck the bridge early Tuesday morning. Darrell Wilson, a spokesman for Synergy Marine, said on Thursday he did not know when crew members would leave the ship.

Josh Messick, a chaplain and the executive director of the Baltimore International Seafarers’ Center, a religious nonprofit that seeks to protect the rights of mariners, said the crew did not have reliable internet access. His organization was working to deliver Wi-Fi access and SIM cards so they could reach family members back home, he said.

Large container ships like the Dali typically have about 20 crew members, a figure that has come down over the years as operators have sought to cut labor costs. Larger shipping companies may recruit workers from countries like India and the Philippines, where looser labor laws enable them to pay cheaper wages.

Crews’ time at sea can vary, but some voyages are now taking longer than usual: Attacks on ships by the Houthi rebel group in Yemen in the Red Sea have caused lengthy detours away from the Suez Canal, disrupting global shipping across the globe.
Typically, a container ship crew includes the captain, an officer in charge of securing the cargo, sailors assigned to the engines and handling the ship's myriad systems, and stewards who handle tasks like cooking and laundry.

John Konrad, a licensed container ship captain and the editor of gCaptain.com, a shipping industry news site, said every container ship is “unique and has its idiosyncrasies.” It’s normal for crew members to stay on damaged ships because the captain is still in command, and crew members must make sure the crashed vessel — and any potentially hazardous goods — does not pose a further danger.

“They’re making sure the ship doesn’t catch on fire,” Mr. Konrad said in an interview, adding that the crew must also remain to comply with the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation.

On Wednesday, Jennifer Homendy, the chair of the N.T.S.B., said the ship’s cooks were working when she boarded the ship. “It smelled very good, and I was very hungry,” she said."

IOW? No sobriety tests. .. no drug tests. Nothing to find out if the crew is/was liable for fucking around and . . . ????

I wasn't piloting the damn boat... tell them to pay... when will Biden start to represent and protect the American people...

 

[MisterBeale]

. . but we, as a nation, should be used to this from the oligarchs by now.

They are always, and forever at this point, using the crony capitalist government, to privatize corporatist gains, and socialize the big corrupt losses. . .

We have to get rid of Biden before we end up rebuilding Ukraine....

WELL, you know it is his money to do with as he wishes. Billions to forgive low life's student loans, Hundreds of billions to Ukraine, Millions for Pakistani gender studies, Millions for covid relief that were squandered away, Billions for "Immigration" that didn't go there. Who knows how much for the DOJ witch hunts. November can't come soon enough.

Who's paying for hurricanes in Florida, tornado damage in the midwest & the flood damage in Houston a few years ago? The Texas power outage?

Nobody is letting the shipping company or their insurers off the hook.
Just funding the projects before they can be forced to pay

What company can be shown to be responsible for those damages, moron. That is what we have FEMA for--or would you rather see those funds given to lowlifes who don't pay the loans they promised to pay back?

The dopes think that a massive claim like this against the shipping company can be settled in a week. So now they have someting else to soil themselves over.

Has that shipper been found to be responsible following a damage claim or an investigation, assclown?

Think they're just going to pay up right off the bat because you're shitting yourself over this?

There is really no need to drug test the Captain since he wasn't involved in piloting the ship. That was the job of the harbor pilot.

The same people who paid for Biden to go back and forth to Rehoboth Beach every weekend, moron. The same people who paid Biden to vacation for 382 days of vacation as of 9-2-2023. Fully 40% of the time he has occupied the WH. Next.

Slacker-in-chief Biden keeps up record 40% ‘vacation’ pace despite disasters

Biden hits 382 personal days away from the White House over Labor Day weekend — spending 40% of his time as president “on vacation,” on pace to beat every recent president.

USe some of that 1.2 TRILLION in infrastructure that they already approved. A bridge is infrastructure isn't it?

It speaks for itself, moron. Would the bridge still be there if the ship hadn't hit it? Did some hand of God grab the ship and push it into the bridge? Naw, couldn't be. Must be the American taxpayer that did it, eh? Idiots.
