The Mess In LA And Long Beach Harbors
The people at Flexport took a tour yesterday. A large part of the solution is (at least temporarily) deregulation. But it will be economically devastating if we don’t fix this soon.

Problem solved. This is kind of amazing. Petersen is a leader, and a hero.

[Tuesday-morning update]
OK, here’s a description from NASA Spaceflight. They clearly want to be co-orbital with ISS, but they say that they’ll be at a higher altitude. That doesn’t make sense, because if they aren’t at the same altitude, the nodes are going to drift apart and while they’ll be at the same inclination, they will be in a different orbit plane. They should be leading or trailing it at the same altitude if they want to stay co-planar.

I’ll trade options on that stock, but I wouldn’t buy and hold.
