From Exchange Invest 2189: 26th, October 2021: Tuesday
The Trumpy one is ahead in the polls versus Joe Brezhnev whose presidency continues to collapse into such utter failure that any American born biped with a pulse would have a good chance of defeating him. Biden’s sole first year success which has outstripped even my non-existent faith in his inabilities, has been to oversee the fastest crumbling of presidential support in history.
Apparently Brezhnev’s VP receives 13% support as next POTUS (Trump now favourite to win 2024 election)…which shows how switched on the US electorate is that they can even recall her name. Just give me a second, I know it’s not Hillary, it’s er, er, …
Anyway, whoever…In other news, Trump’s new social network without censorship was up 800% in its first few days. As the Brezhnev regime proves abjectly inept, POTUS 45 is laughing all the way to the bank.

California’s Ports Rank Among World ̔s Least Efficient, Despite Their Key Role In U.S. Supply Chain
Arirang
According to a report by the World Bank and IHS Markit, which reviewed 351 container ports around the world, LA was ranked 328th, behind a port in Tanzania.
PLY: A shipping shambles is engulfing the US west coast, with Florida’s administration eager to tout the advantages of their east coast docks which are apparently still running smoothly. There was a fascinating twitter thread begun by Ryan Petersen of Flexport about the failures in California at the ports. The two facts which amaze me about this are — apparently all the major US ports are owned by the government, #srsly? In the one-time home of capitalism (now clearly in dispute). The other is that the ‘massive’ Long Beach container port is a quarter the size of Singapore’s port. The latter also happens to be much more automated.
Brexit: Done
PLY: For those who think there is a massive battle looming between the EU and the UK over fishing, bear in mind the real issue is that — as expected — President Macron has completely failed with his reformist agenda so is now going down a Bonapartist route to try to ensure his re-election.
