Youtube hearted comments of Frostie-Flake (@PlanetFrosty).

  1. Great job on exposing communism which I’ve followed since 1968 when I was high school in California. I’ve tracked totalitarianism globally and language introduced into America! Keep saving America

  2. Terrific job, Jake! Thank you so much telling the story of Ukraine’s horrors and their heros.
    72
  3. Wow, I really liked the Papal reference. I imagined surly College of Long Shoremen in red plaid shirts.
    45
  4. @SiliconCurtin So glad to hear you refer to “Russia” as Muscovy! I’ve started doing the same in all my communication. Very good and great discussion. The Imperial aims of Muscovy similar racist aims as China PRC and the CCP suppression of language, culture and religious views. The KGB Muscovy so called Church is also part of the genocidal machine. Many Imperialist aims we find around the world from the Middle East to even in India with Hindu Nationalism which could undermine India economically. Vast corruption appears everywhere the misguided tribalism grows.

  5. Professor Sal: You need a giant frozen margarita machine in the corner. Now that would make Margaritaville complete, efficient and nearly automated! Add chips and salsa is all you need and you could host committee meetings for the new Secretary. You have my vote!

  6. Unlike Evergreen, you Sal are Ever Forward with news information and insight into shipping, maritime issues that are invaluable. Though I dealt with fiber optic marine, you’ve broadened my horizons and understanding of the larger industry. Great job, as also a historian besides a technologist I appreciate your work.
    25
  7. Excellent interview with Starsky, thank you.
    25
  8. This sounds more Putin’s Hitler Nazis than Russia fighting Nazis. These crimes are also ones CCP commits in China. We are dealing with genocidal totalitarians globally. We’ve ignored this for too long.
    20
  9. Great Job, Sal, I think you reported on Petroleum Service Industry pulling out of Russia. I did receive a message from a chemical engineer about this issue this AM. He’s left Russia and got a message from Government needing help, he’s not a petroleum engineer. He’s not going back.
    19
  10. Don’t give up on increasing NASA budget!
    18
  11. @Matthew What a gasser of an episode!😂 You sure nailed it exposing the old fart bankers 🤑 I rushed out and bought some air spray to clear the air and bitcoin.
    18
  12. Even with a bad bout of COVID I’m still watching Professor Dr. Sal. Great review of the war situation impact on shipping.
    17
  13. Terrific positive interview and very interesting Young Lady. Exciting possibilities for the future for her family and Ukraine!🇺🇦
    17
  14. You should get the text to Captain notifying “Your ship is on fire💩” make a What the Ship T-Shirt out of it.
    15
  15. @Lei’s Real Talk Thank you, Lei. Great presentation as usual and well researched. I had heard China was now able to make the pen ball tips, but clearly that was wrong. I’m familiar with manufacturing automation as a CTO.
    15
  16. I missed it the EverStuck!
    14
  17. Professor Dr Sal, this was a very “TOASTY” episode. Your firefighter experience was invaluable for insights. My heart goes out to those who lost their lives.
    14
  18. Damn, Sal, you are a master of the thumbnail title. You must have some amazing course titles! Great job as usual.
    14
  19. Sal, we need a video game called Cargo Master as the Captain of a Panamax container MV. Maybe a multiplayer game with Chief Engineer and so on. Could be fun...from random weather events, port congestion, and physics of it all.
    13
  20. Sal, great job. I appreciate you taking the “bull by the horns” smacking David and especially, BP.
    13
  21. Environmental groups must have got together with German cohorts!
    13
  22. My trainer is working on “re-floating” me, but that requires more laps in the pool, treadmill, and weights. My re-float won’t be complete by Tuesday, but it’s a start!
    13
  23. I’m a Bitcoin psychopath, thanks for letting me know.
    12
  24. I hope you had a great Wedding Anniversary and your marriage will be Ever Forward!
    11
  25. C’mon, Professor Sal, there are flannel Hawaiian shirts for unlucky in cooler climates! Great report as usual and you’re knocking it out of the park every time!
    11
  26. The tubes is where SPICE will be found!
    10
  27. Thousands of hard shell crabs, maybe millions carry the EverForward off the mud? Maybe not?
    10
  28. Professor Sal, do your lectures improve with the number of Margaritas consumed when you’re on a cruise?
    10
  29. Very sad situation and speaks to vessel safety design, fire suppression systems and common sense. Great report Sal, but we should remember the other fire report you did a few days ago.
    10
  30. Since I’m near Yellowstone National park, I’ve been talking with Tesla about providing rental Teslas to visit the park! The 1 meter telescope should be installed at Space Cowboy Ranch(considering that name change) by mid August.
    10
  31. Great Job guys pointing out the waste of Boeing waste!
    10
  32. Coal imports going up across the globe and US Coal exports are dramatically increasing and economic play is energy. Coal is going to be a huge play this year I believe. The reality is that environmental yap is unrealistic on world’s energy needs and reasonable plans.
    10
  33. Great job in providing documentation.
    10
  34. “Wall Street Urinal” has been my name for WSJ for years. It went off the rails a few years ago. GAAP needs to change with respect to bitcoin.
    10
  35. SLS=Spendy Launch System-they need a reusable center core.
    10
  36. The Taiwanese Deer you use as your aviator is charming. You topic is timely and certainly it’s needed to be discussed in detail. Sand use needs to be evaluated. In an oil drill site off California concrete tetrapods were created with aggregate and sand on top. The tetrapods also created habitat and it’s still in use today built in the 1960s
    10
  37. Sal, you provided excellent firefighter insight as well. This pulls together the critical time sensitive actions needed to be taken to save lives. This is good understanding we all need. Great analysis and very interesting. Crisis management applying common sense solutions needed is laid out well. I understand there are lawyers lining up waiting for the first Russia old poorly maintained tanker that has an oil spill of any size.
    10
  38. “You sunk my battleship...” Navy is clueless class of officers playing politics putting our sailers and ships at risk. These are lives and ships put at risk EVEN IN PORT!
    9
  39. Jan, terrific reporting! I’m curious what cannot be verified and now what will happen with the Durham investigation and possible indictments. This must be cleaned up!
    9
  40. Great story, Sal. I’ve been looking at international lawsuits which will go after not only Russian Shippers, but assets. It could bring lawsuits against “Flag States” and masking of ownership practiced in the industry. This could be an unwinding shipping strategies impacting cargo shippers and the operators.
    9
  41. Container volumes is less of the interest, but dated inventory on hand at retailers. Cathie Wood, of Ark Invest has been looking at increasing warehouse inventory levels for 4-5 months. She feels this is the recession indicator and retail sales may not reflect inventory issues.
    9
  42. 4th Generation Nuclear fission molten salt reactor are safe and produce rare medical & industrial isotopes. Produces almost zero waste and can burn much of the LWR nuclear waste. I designed sensors for these systems...many other 4Gen designs hold immediate promise providing energy to “start” fusion work which is likely 20 years out.
    8
  43. “Soundly Stuck Sal,” does it again and gives up the Shipping Slip-Ups. Sal you are giving us great info and understanding. As a former sailboat crew member you’re giving everyone a view of the difficulty of navigating the seas. It’s a challenging job. Thanks!
    8
  44. Sal, Great information and report on this amazing vessel. The four fiber optic ships we have planned include on deep explorer. Contracts for construction and/or refit will be let by mid June. Two new vessels will be X-Bow and geared for the most challenging situations.
    8
  45. The efficiency of all ports is a major issue. The working with AWS and Maersk for new system will be not open source, but proprietary Amazon tech. It is not the best choice because they should be embracing open source technology. This will raise costs and cut competition.
    8
  46. Managing LNG is remarkable chemical management process. Tendency of CH4(Natural Gas) to convert at LNG storage propane and butane in the gaseous headroom in tank. Inert gas is used to help manage this event.
    8
  47. Great reporting! It sounds like USN is not following best safety practices. Growing problems must be addressed.
    8
  48. Nice follow up, Sal! Very interesting to see how the operation was carried out.
    8
  49. Truck Freedom Strike could hit ports? This is a concern as trucker issuers not being addressed and politcal Canadian response has stirred more anger globally. Wrong response. We need wise politcal leadership not foolish thuggish moves from big container fees to abuse of truckers.
    8
  50. Super long freight trains are an issue creating more safety concerns.
    8
  51. 🤔Maybe Sal is interested cruse ship and mini shipping container vessels. There’s a hybrid that doesn’t fit, but you could slip into ports and unload boxes slip into those small shipment sizes you always talked about? I’m not serious, but if KFC can make a chicken sandwich out of two glazed doughnuts as the “bread” anything is possible.
    8
  52. Professor Sal, great job on review of congressional material acts that impact not just shipping, but defense. I think one item you have mentioned is the use of merchant marine. We need to BUILD UP MERCHANT MARINE tonnage and the navy. US Built AND utilize our allies as well. As we move towards building the fiber optic support vessels the problem I see is opportunity. The opportunity to use these vessels as detection and deterrence of mischief to critical infrastructure. All fitted with ROVs and other submersibles for maintaining and laying new specialized fiber optics. With regards to China’s long term potential it’s massive debt without the hidden debt is almost 1/3 of the world’s entire debt. Recent analysis shows real GDP is $5.3 Trillion not $18T. Something has to give. I would suggest that with massive debt and chronic poverty war or some conflict with China becomes more likely. Xi Jinping is in deep trouble already now long before 2027.
    8
  53. It’s clear to you two need to be fitted for space suits and be on a future SpaceX Crew Dragon flight to ISS or better yet the Moon!

  54. @SiliconCurtin So glad to hear you refer to “Russia” as Muscovy! I’ve started doing the same in all my communication. Very good and great discussion. The Imperial aims of Muscovy similar racist aims as China PRC and the CCP suppression of language, culture and religious views. The KGB Muscovy so called Church is also part of the genocidal machine. Many Imperialist aims we find around the world from the Middle East to even in India with Hindu Nationalism which could undermine India economically. Vast corruption appears everywhere the misguided tribalism grows.

  55. Dr. Sal knocks our socks off! The Propeller Club is an interesting name. I liked the propeller hat you wore momentarily, Sal!😂 Why not Sal’s Propeller Club?
    7
  56. India’s embrace of Russia has caused serious problems in my area of telecom and internet. This includes the movement of money. TRUST OF STABILITY IN INDIA IS EVAPORATING. The stunning graft and corruption in India is not new, but it’s reached new heights of digital piracy and theft if you do business in India. It has a facade of doing ok, but the brain drain has picked up again of educated and capable leaving the country. It’s a mess.
    7
  57. I agree, it doesn’t seem like much to worry about with the hop!
    7
  58. Sal, cheesy, but possibly effective. When say, “hit the bell” the sound of a Ships Bell should be a sound effect you use. Maybe even work in a fog horn now and then!🤔😉
    7
  59. Professor Sal, I’m looking for a great book, “Sinbad Sal & Raiders of the Lost Container?” The tracking, port security and customs issues with container shipping could be a ‘page turner’ full of intrigue. With fires at sea from undeclared contents to other shenanigans. You should write the book! Rip the bandaid off the shady side of container trade!
    7
  60. LNG shipping innovation and shipbuilding needs to be built and developed here. I’m looking at investment in US LNG Supply System and partners since we’ll be using super hydrogenation in another process for new high purity fiber optic production with Taiwan and US producers. This new process gets more BTUs out CH4.
    7
  61. I really enjoy your programs and I’m optimistic the real creativity of Chinese people will be set free as the CCP collapses! Factional infighting is increasing within various areas including Shanghai. I’m working hard on learning Chinese.
    7
  62. Great job! Now how can we fry bacon in micro gravity? There could be some rather curious physics in that space cooking exercise!
    7
  63. Insightful informative and understanding.
    6
  64. Sal ready to be booked on Silver Seas and hold that special high priced class on board with Peter Zeihan!
    6
  65. Matthew, this was a terrific presentation! Thank you, so much.
    6
  66. Wow, it’s amazing how ships can get in trouble so quickly.
    6
  67. Great story comrade Sal! BTW my personal assistant is Ukrainian and she’s on the way to claim the oil!
    6
  68. Good content, the interesting thing is the very communication infrastructure change we’re working on solves much of the shipping management problems in terms of data, communication with Mom & Pops and information big shippers don’t even have, plus better accountability. This model needs to be in any Merchant Marine Act. The intermittent communication with ships at sea would not be an issue and data would be verifiable on public system accessible to shippers, regulators and so on.
    6
  69. @Lei’s Real Talk Great analysis and reporting on the looming China crisis. I have some more thoughts on how the impending doom in China will bring positive change to American Financial Markets. The “middle men” are often the equivalent of CCP thieves in government, but technology changes could change the market dynamics.
    6
  70. Sexual Assault on commercial vessels changes with use of Apple Watches, iPhones, T-Mobile and more capable of emergency reporting anywhere in real time. Documenting and preventing could do a lot of carriers enabled that support which they can do. A special reporting choice and recording of attack can threaten the “hiding sexual assault crimes at sea.” This can create a better environment for females aboard ship as well as other crew. It’s time to pay all crew more as well, in my opinion and make conditions safer.
    6
  71. We’re working on restoring fiber optic operations in the area and doing a mass survey of the region.
    6
  72. These agency workers are often a disaster, I see this in hospital systems, engineering and other service. However, I think the concept of the way Unions operate is dated and these 3rd Party situations never work out over the long run. They end up costing you money, reputation and functionality. The British should put out a bid for a competitive operator.
    6
  73. We need to add to LNG ship manufacturing to our things to make.
    6
  74. Jake, good report and analysis.
    6
  75. All-a-board, Professor Sal takes controls of the Locomotive...he’ll sort it all out. Great Reporting as usual. I bet you have a Lionel set under the Christmas Tree at least.
    6
  76. Korean Shipbuilders are going to face many issues as Korea is also facing Semiconductor and electronics worker pressure.
    6
  77. Great analysis, Matt.
    6
  78. EverBombed? Russian hardware seems to be EverBombed from Drones with rockets, commercial drones with mortar bombs, and artillery...You name it!
    6
  79. Toasty, good report from a mariner-fireman. Your insight on fire management and impact on shipping too.
    5
  80. Great appeal! Thanks, I’m passing it on.
    5
  81. So Eastern isn’t a great place for shipbuilding? We have 4 for Fiberoptic operation (more like large “conduit.”) The large protected quantum network will expand secure digital transport. We’re getting to design and engineering this fall. Specialty equipment design ongoing now.
    5
  82. What about Sal’s Revolutionary Mariners? You, are indeed revolutionizing our knowledge of shipping and impact of Russia-Ukraine War on shipping and supply chain. Iran is in tough shape as China’s bank in trouble and Russia crumbling.
    5
  83. Wow, Sal looks sharp! From professor to Maritime Executive look!
    5
  84. Professor Sal, shall we rename you Professor “Bad News?” 😂 It’s good to know all the challenges mariners face. Good job.
    5
  85. Sal, Can I be clear about something...just kidding! We all have our pet phrases, clearly!😉 GREAT JOB laying out your Jones Act Reform, well done Professor.
    5
  86. Well, Sal, let’s hope that ship was not loaded down with too many Rune Stones.
    5
  87. Professor Sal: I’m getting that sinking feeling!
    5
  88. You fight Grey Zone with more free speech. Give open opportunity to taken on Russian and Chinese trolls. Deploy tools to identify bots and terminate which is quite sophisticated now. Benign globalization is crumbling reorienting into democratic globalization and regionalization.
    5
  89. Cathie Wood, CIO of Ark Invest, predicted this overstock and drop in pricing months ago from her data. Good news is innovation and new business from that should help US weather global economic issues.
    5
  90. XRP is CRAP
    5
  91. Entertaining and engaging!
    5
  92. Thanks, Sal! My re-float will take longer.
    5
  93. You should do German voice over with actual Gig 4 references! That would be even funnier than this already is mine furher Sebastian!
    5
  94. Bezos has turned into Dr Evil without the “Dr” just the “Evil,” but has SpaceX been watching Kangaroos to see how they hop and fight to punch out all competitors? Humm🤔 way to go SpaceX!
    5
  95. Excellent discussion, Jan! One of your most timely and insightful interviews.
    5
  96. I guess those cruise ships with have to “slug it out” as they slither to another port. The ‘old salts’ should treat the slippery snails as they deserve.
    5
  97. Very good and thoughtful interview!
    5
  98. Professor Sal, I thought Joe Biden charted the vessel for vacation? In all seriousness, this is a difficult situation and it’s the right thing to do.
    4
  99. The financial collapse of Russia is inevitable as more and more gas and oil wells fail due maintenance issues. It will take a decade or more to recovery.
    4
  100. Maybe you could do a video game called bumper ships? Navigate through rough water passages in super ships!
    4
  101. Korean Shipbuilders are going to face many issues as Korea is also facing Semiconductor and electronics worker pressure.
    4
  102. Sal, Excellent episode in going through US port issues.
    4
  103. Sal, good job and great info on Cargo. I’m looking at the design and engineering on the Fiber Optic ships for new “quantum internet” and upgrades to existing fiber. This includes new protocol change, new “browser” (web TV interface) and security capacity protected in this new active transport firewall via our AI Routing. I’d like to source as much as I can in US.
    4
  104. So, how does the US repopulate the merchant marine? My suggestion is that we use innovative lower cost fuels creating construction and safety protocols. Step 1. New LNG carriers and methodologies. 2. Intensive research into fuels including detailed analysis. 3. Building of advanced cargo and passenger ships.
    4
  105. Up the game! Amen.
    4
  106. Operator Starsky does a fine job. The point of far left and right getting funding by Russia is true based on my own investigation. It also includes the CCP and I’ve seen communication recruiting a couple of this to promote an agenda.
    4
  107.  @wgowshipping  I’m optimistic about the future and us moving away from depending on totalitarian regimes for commodities and manufacturing. If India would deal with corruption, red tape and nonsense they could do well. Every time they begins to move forward Government and corruption get in the way. They’re bleeding engineers and scientists to US, Canada, GB and EU again. Telecom screwed up once again when on a good track. India can’t get out of its own way, though produce good mariners. Our work is to build the infrastructure that’s more secure and resistant to attacks. Our AI routing will decentralize and rebuild self healing of aggregated wired and wireless infrastructure. Anyway, I’ll be in touch after eye surgery and head out to east coast. Plans are still in motion.
    4
  108. Get Ukraine’s President Zelenskiy a “What the Ship” T-Shirt and captain’s cap! You never know you might get some publicity for the channel.
    4
  109. We just talked to the FCC yesterday and today about our new Fiber Laying Ships designed for specialized new “InFlight Quantum” processing and ultra secure processing. We’ll be in touch...you’ve by chance inspired me to take on the challenge. My Foundation President will be in touch to donate to you and your operation in the next couple of weeks, great job.
    4
  110. Sal, new merchandise idea: “Oil Price Cap” a black cap with that white lettering. Just a thought.
    4
  111. I think comparing Putin, his military and cronies to Hitler needs to ramp up. A Russian Soldier saying, “I’m a Nazi...” should get played over and over. The Christchurch massacre provoked, by Putin’s philosopher who also embraces Nazi ideals needs to be called out along with Wagner PMC.
    4
  112. NATO needs to come into the Black Sea! Tell Turkey grain and commerce will be cut off if they don’t play ball.
    4
  113. Sal, Taiwan is great place and wonderful people. You need to visit and meet Taiwanese mariners and some of the interesting fisherman. Let’s have a drink at a night market in Taiwan where they’re served in plastic bags often with a straw.
    4
  114. ☠️Professor “Pirate” Sal☠️ rescue at sea is challenging at best. Underway undersea is dangerous. Though our bodies are mostly water the sea still tries to kill us! Respect the sea💀
    4
  115. Absolutely fantastic interview! Jan you’re the best at what you do! REMEMBER EPOCH TIMES ON GIVING TUESDAY AND DONATE!
    4
  116. Unstable coin is the reality
    4
  117. Elon Musk is now the TARGET of many Democrats as he challenged Cali on opening Tesla and is taking on this politcal games of the Party. DEMs are tarnishing their own JFK who started the serious space race to the moon!
    4
  118. Professor Sal, it must be Margarita Friday🙃 We’re all getting TANKED!😂 No more than 5 giant Margaritas or 🤮! Great episode! It’s going to be oil glut sooner possibly as new oil fields opening. The rail issues that have been neglected by last and current administrations horribly. Trains are not as safe as they should be without enough body count and length of trains.
    4
  119. I thought the love boat was about the “New Navy” on an aircraft carrier with male and female crew?
    4
  120. I really enjoyed the Barbie segment. It was great and very informative, but the delivery was a bit “plastic!”
    4
  121. As you know, I’m a big fan of Molten Salt Nuclear Reactors which could power electricity and heat for industrial processes for mining and material production. This could also power fusion research, but the unique isotope production from MSR would be great for science and medicine.
    4
  122. The fees all the way around are out of whack. You are so right on the mark on data, traffic, infrastructure and demerge.
    4
  123. Interesting, and realistic view, but the rise of totalitarian style censorship & thought control is rising in Western democracies! The Communist Party USA has allied with DEMOCRAT PARTY for “Vote Harvesting” in May 2018 letter to members, even running openly CPUSA members as Democrats. An unusual response to a strong economy among some demanding free speech control. Free Speech may be higher in Vietnam than in some Western Countries.
    4
  124. Sal, commercial shipping, freight train and only missing Pirates. Wow, you would be one happy camper. What a story this is. If it had containers on it the “pirates” might have shown up.
    4
  125. The problem I see are the backlog of defaults in SOEs/Partnerships funded by localities that have reached nearly $500B in recent months. China Central Bank has push more back to regions. “Everything is connected” is the issue and the problem. While 3D nand is a good move, the issue is the complex debt issues.
    4
  126. Well, Sal, I’m endowing chairs at 4 other universities and three graduate schools. With you raking in all that money certainly an endowment for “What’s going on with Shipping” is not required? 😂 I had planned on being out your way last year, but health issues limited that. My foundation President and I will be to the East Coast in February.
    4
  127. Burnt Orange Porsche for Sal?
    4
  128. I needed to correct my post, Sal’s Burnt Orange BENTLEY awaits! Extra crispy version, smoke leather interior at no extra charge!
    3
  129. Is this “Dog Bites?”
    3
  130. Jan, an outstanding interview!
    3
  131. Where’s your eye patch? Cowboy hat?
    3
  132. I’m still disappointed no one lit the gas leak from Nordstream on fire. On the ranch we have natural gas bubbling up from a couple of springs and often take visitors out for a ride and light the natural leak on fire!
    3
  133. Avoiding the question partially by the Port Director on “BP Jonesy Scam.” He was delicate, but explained very important details. CBS is likely getting a bunch of BP cash.
    3
  134. Maybe Sal could convert one of these ships into his personal luxury Motor Vessel. Think of it, that Antarctic cruse ship perfect for X-Bow conversion. Could be your own floating Maritime University! Hey, contact my Foundation President!
    3
  135. Johnathan, with new tools expect to see new AI generated Putler having a conversation with Sucker Carlson hitting Putsie up for another $200m to shill for Ruzzia. Putsie slams the table saying “careful with your tea.”
    3
  136. We will see salami slicing inflation. Some things up some way down.
    3
  137. My interest in this is we have the opportunity to build and use our Navy as Constitutionally intended. A protection for commerce. I would suggest that this builds opportunity for the “little guy” the mom and pop. In the US interior as well as on the cost. With technology we can have smaller more medium sized companies building ships, steel making and other industries that once thought needed to be massive no longer need to be, maybe with the exception of aircraft carrier and submarines. While in electronic fabrication facilities and economies of scale tend to lend to larger. New technologies are coming on line that may revamp the semiconductor manufacturing and new board and chassis manufacturing could reorient into US and/or protectorates. We need to move.
    3
  138. Great job again, guys! I watched your presentation over looking at how well you produced the content!
    3
  139. Great move Matt. I will join.
    3
  140. Now, that’s my kind of shirt that I can and do wear! Or other “Camp Shirts” as engineers these days get away “the look!” Why not be comfortable?
    3
  141. Sal, great job and information!
    3
  142. Cathie Wood of Ark Invest indicates that real inventory factors are increasing and orders on the way are going to over supply our stores and global supply. Auto inventories increasing including used. The signs are that we will have a jammed up inventory soon and massive deflation and recession possible. I’m trying to figure out the illusion, but it could be on the ships?
    3
  143. Very good
    3
  144. Professor Sal, there is a new “small nuclear” power engine being built for space flight which could power smaller vessels possibly. I realize that this is not easy or quick qualification.
    3
  145. Excellent review of the topics!
    3
  146. The Soviets had to depend on Ukraine for the brain trust in engineering in nuclear, aerospace, electronics and more. Putin thought he could steal that back by war? Chernobyl was a Russian design not Ukraine need I say more? A big bone of contention.
    3
  147. I think of a book title “CIA’s Secret Naval History”
    3
  148. Preach it, Sal! Great and passionate video.
    3
  149. When I hear “99” others I think of this tune “99 bottles of beer on the wall...” great job guys, once again!
    3
  150. Great Job guys!
    3
  151. Great review, lot of fun to bring me out of the grumpy for a bad day!
    3
  152. Good Job, Sal, repairs are becoming more possible depending on type of cable and provider.
    3
  153. I’m confident “Snake” can handle the break up! Yep, with that sawed off and a bull whip Snake Merc can whip these carriers into shape. I predict Evergreen for the alliance because clearly they have “skills” for navigating everything!😂
    3
  154. Sal, great job on providing understanding on the “Jones Act.” This fine information might get you tagged as “Jonesy.”

  155. Sal, if you recall I quoted Cathie Wood of Ark Invest on this prediction and inventory level prediction. Expect steel prices to fall further harming China and watch new steel production move to US and Australia. New all electric high grade production(Australian Company) will come on line and produce an uptick in Modular Nuclear Reactors along Molten Salt Reactors supporting various industrial processes and electricity production. It will take time, but some reactors well along approval process for manufacturing these reactors off site in factories. New nuclear chemistry will produce less expensive isotopes for medicine and industry. This will power industry advances.

  156. Keep on shipping? Great job, wow another one! Busy day.

  157. One of you’re most enjoyable videos!

  158. Jacobin is pretty much communist so left wing hardly describes it. It’s illegitimate from the get go.
    3
  159. der Furher Sebastian? Hummm, crazy German automakers!
    3
  160. I’m getting a “sinking feeling” listening to your comments on shipboard fire. My cruising has been on sailboat or private motor Yacht.
    3
  161. Professor Sal, when are you going to host an inland waterways Cruise? I think that would be interesting.
    3
  162. Cathie Wood of Ark Invest is still saying we are moving into over inventory supply condition and it’s just now working through the system meaning shipping industry could have some over supply. She has consistently maintained that position for 6 months or more. Wonder how this plays out.
    3
  163. Excellent report and, as always, informative
    3
  164. Great content and good analysis that we need to understand this mess. The Navy has some big fixin’ to do right now.
    3
  165. Excellent interview!
    3
  166. Excellent presentation and expiration.
    3
  167. Korean Shipbuilders are going to face many issues as Korea is also facing Semiconductor and electronics worker pressure.
    3
  168. Well, my neuro-psychiatrist friend and I are writing a boring book on money, trade, trust relationships and math. It’s over a 1000 pages and covers wars and money, poverty and debt “what is beneficial trade.” It’s 5 years in the making, but the psychiatric anecdotes are entertaining and engaging. It certainly traces trans-global trade and prosperity.
    3
  169. Russia is having difficulty suppling India and China. As you predicted, ports are refusing Russian cargo so ships can’t refuel or get other port services. Insurance is getting cut off at a higher rate according to economic reports.
    3
  170. Fine job!
    3
  171. I’m going to call you “Jonesy Sal!” 😂, but I agree with you and you have no idea bring up fiber optic support vessels and lay down is critical. One of the largest makers of fiber optics and solid state lasers has approached me and in negotiations. A fiber facility construction could be brought to the US and deployed. Already, the lunatics coming out of the woodwork to oppose. These ships are critical, but we need more securing fiber globally from Russian and Chinese attack among other. This is $1.5 billion dollar project with the fiber and optical semiconductor facility is a $5-$8 billion dollar construction project. Then you have the new fiber laying.
    3
  172. You sound a little better! Continue to full health and vitality. Cheers, heal soon.
    3
  173. Unfortunately, Biden’s own personal self serving corruption limits his view of full support for Ukraine. While I applaud what he has done this far, corruption in the US politics and administrative state must be addressed. In the Biden Administration it’s fortunate Blinken and others have supported doing the right thing.
    3
  174. NYT spreading Russian disinformation? Checking YT channel SI Sutton who is a British submarine specialists has exposed Russian craft in service designed to cause mischief to undersea cable fiber optics and pipelines. Never reported in coverage of Nordstream. The story which likely is more Fake News never addressed examples of other likely Russian attacks on fiber and so on. This is very critical factual information.
    3
  175. The stock market almost always gets it wrong on shipping? I think we are going see drop in Chinese production soon, but Vietnam may becoming less popular due to totalitarian issues as Thailand is picking up in electronics and India may finally get its act together.
    3
  176. Sal, Russia’s cost of production runs between $60-75 especially now with out Western support their systems are breaking down.
    3
  177. What this points out is it’s always the foot soldier, the merchant marine, the mom and pop the bears the brunt of foolish policy. I’m sick of it and all of my work is in fact design to mitigate that uneven situation. All of my work started with rural telecom and helping them have advanced services and bring more to this underserved populations. So this is where it all began and my own work bringing internet to rural populations before there was a World Wide Web and so on. This is the backbone of America, but we don’t realize. More invention comes from farmers than you realize in electronics and engineering than you think as they are on the boards of cooperatives and participate in education at universities. The merchant marine is no less inventive and the backbone of America.
    3
  178. Thanks, Sal, I’m dealing with corruption and communications issues in Turkey and India.
    3
  179. Space Force is intended for protection as is the function the US Navy often performs in dealing with piracy & some Asia country’s expansion into UN Declared international waters! PROTECTING STAR LINK! BTW, China will be shipping Uighurs to Mars for re-education in Mars construction!
    3
  180. Sadly, China under Xi Jing Ping continues destabilizing progress, sadly as he pushes more & more Soviet Era Style Totalitarian tactics. Many of my friends have left China being harassed by police as both Chinese and Foreign engineers serving Chinese and foreign organizations. Elon needs to be cautious in China!
    3
  181. I have real concerns for the little guy and what we’re doing on communication network carrier settlement system allowing bypassing big banks and Wall Street. This is potentially a trillion dollars in movement of settlement a month or more and the base layer for consumers bypassing banks. This has the potential to change to leverage for little guy. I’ll be in touch as how that translates to shipping and blindsides the big guys.
    3
  182. I’m glad you’re not agitated about this issue! Not in the least! Dr Jones Act
    3
  183. Thanks, Sal. FYI I’m an excellent Margarita maker! I was amazed when visiting Lowery’s Seasons years ago in LA they had a frozen margarita machine.
    3
  184. We need to do nothing more than to peel away the propaganda away. You, as a marketer, should know that and certainly your guest does lay out solid approach. Keep in mind again we have prosecutions in the US related out and out Politcal fraud we’re still sorting through. More free speech is always the answer.
    3
  185. I enjoyed you assistant commentator very much! I have 5 assistants (children) in my home.
    3
  186. Sal, how about, what’s NOT going on with shipping or shipbuilding? Just a thought...hope you hoisted the Jolly Roger for your vacation cruise?
    3
  187. Forcing Russia to pay one way or another for harm done to Ukraine.
    3
  188. Great interview and this is like China.
    3
  189. Very good interview. This fits nicely with “Butler to the World” author who exposed details of accommodating Russians. It’s clear from this interview Ukraine must win.
    3
  190. This makes me very aware of engine and engine room issues as we consider designs and issues on fiber optic service vessels.
    3
  191. Excellent point that “memes produced from truth have real humor.” Truth and Justice is in the pursuit of totalitarians has deep roots. Chinese Communist Party reacted to Winnie the Pooh comparison to Xi Jinping. The wonderful little cartoon is banned in China where memes also attack the CCP. Unfunny totalitarians will be laughed off the world stage in my opinion.
    3
  192. Roscosmos at a discount sounds like Dollar Store Space flight-not a good idea!
    3
  193. Arrrr! Walk the plank!
    3
  194. This is great commentary, Sal. It gives me from the data, re-imagining of “containerization” into smaller internal units and movement of cross border payments a perspective that AMAZON is ready for MASSIVE DISRUPTION, and massive corporate centralization of tech is trending towards federation and being decentralized. This changes the entire face of shipping globally. The new players in smaller nimbler, data blockchain driven and flexible localized delivery mechanisms that emerge through federation and DAOs.
    3
  195. “What the Ship” needs a theme song for your opening! Not quite “Gilligan’s Island” or a pirate ballad, but something in between.
    3
  196. Great idea and include research ships, fiber optic lay down, were building a research/making for undersea quantum fiber cable
    3
  197. If you recall I said I believed there will be strains, but a potential shift in the way people, purchase and exchange value may help if met by new shipping concepts meeting changes. This would address the small lot shipper driven by new cross border payments run on Lightning Network contracts for shippers, transportation companies and mariners. This move could signal improvement for “little guy” manufacturer, grower and local retail/access. I’ll write a white paper on that today.
    3
  198. I don’t think crew drag will be delayed much at all!
    3
  199. This was an excellent discussion and interchange. We need to restore civility and the ability to disagree without demonizing.
    3
  200. It’s amazing how much Putin mirrors Hitler as he evolves Russia into into kleptocratic fascist “empire.”
    3
  201. This is fascinating and a consideration in building our quantum optical fiber survey vessel to be built likely in X-Bow configuration. While that could be built under license in US we need experience and production competence in unique characteristics. This unique vessel with sea keeping, submersibles and other capabilities would be unique.
    3
  202. More Moscow mouth pieces on some level giving too much agency and cover to Putin. Yes, stupidity on Ukraine and West created opportunity, but West failed to respond.
    3
  203. What was not picked by even you is that the ordering is “over ordering” which is what Cathie Wood is suggesting is going potentially set up to recession. China is “dumping” now with labor and other costs above use in the past 2 years move out of China still has Asia as major supplier, but trend even to US, Mexico and Canada. Shipping rates helping drive inflation to kill the demand for shipping in future in shift of manufacture? That’s a possible outcome? Now Wood and myself say innovation with super charge economy after 2024 as this is worked out.
    3
  204. Great interview! So a new challenge may come soon nuclear reactor certified reactor operators for shipping operations. Thoughts as to how that would be handled? Two to Four Ice Breakers with modular reactors. This depends how US navigates the Greenland and Canadian shipping/military implications. For all Trump’s bloviation there is a plan beneficial to Europe and US in both areas. Two multipurpose breakers are possible to serve new interests and hybrid military use.
    2
  205. Credibility of DOJ is compromised in some recent “financial crimes” cases getting tossed as well as internal management credibility for DOJ and FBI. Any thoughts about threats on prosecution being challenged by Shipping Companies more aggressively? I saw mass mal prosecution in telecom. One notable case overturned 9-0 by SCOTUS destroyed 250,000 jobs immediately and total impact a million or more.
    2
  206. I tend to agree with you that evidence suggests Germany has very deep corruption in ties to Russia.
    2
  207. Really interesting story!
    2
  208. Great report, Sal. Where was your PANAMA HAT? It seems that would have been perfect topper for this story.
    2
  209. Democracy can’t work in Russia. Democracy can’t work in China. Sounds so familiar coming from totalitarians.
    2
  210. Yes, I enjoyed this video! 🔥 on Fire, Sal!
    2
  211. Sal, China is on the ragged edge. Turkey is screwed if it doesn’t kick Russia to the curb. It’s economy is over. Russia can’t help Turkey enough to save it.
    2
  212. I’m glad you did this segment, Mark. I’m disgusted at those who don’t understand Russian propaganda or that the progressive left and (MAGA) right are buying the same lies slightly repackaged. MAGA supporting Russia are essentially supporting Putin’s Communist/Imperialist designs on the world which is nonsense.
    2
  213. China idiotically exposed itself to massive military data tagging of military assets and analysis. Electronic/subsonic signatures of all these ships now in new database and complete profiles built. Navy Cable Defense Command needs to be built with specific ships and submarines developed. Critical for shipping and improvement.
    2
  214. Do you get a sinking feeling watching Sal? Stay calm. Sal will throw you a line and life raft! Great reporting and very interesting...maybe a story on bulkers with various cargo risks. Bauxite is one where under right conditions liquefaction can occur plus many more. People don’t realize risks in shipping.
    2
  215. No dead fish on the steps of Professor Sal’s house. Remember Campbell U Students!
    2
  216. Didn’t Fat Leonard audit one of your classes?😂
    2
  217. @Silicon Curtain What this means is clear evidence Elon favors brutal dictators. Despots like Putin and Xi Jinping who are causing the deaths of children and civilians. Elon supports brutal dictators who murder making him GUILTY FOR THOUSANDS OF CIVILIAN & CHILDREN’S DEATHS!
    2
  218. NASA should put cash behind Starship!
    2
  219. Sal, good job. Russia would renew it because they need winter ports to keep trade going. Ukraine wants to be compensated for stolen grain by Russia. UN Vote acknowledged the theft by Russia. Russia is on its back foot and Ukraine justified its actions due to missile attacks on infrastructure. Ukraine did get more fertilizer and planting has occurred. As I predicted, Ukraine is ramping up production of sea drones and announced that a few days ago. They sank a Russian submarine recently too which I also predicted that any craft firing missiles at Ukraine would be targeted by their military. New drones are in production with more explosives and capabilities.
    2
  220. Report from Russian Military that it is now SUNK like Russian armor in mud with all of the rain! The historical implications are larger in that Russians call troops from Far East as well as Georgia and elsewhere.
    2
  221.  @wgowshipping  I’ll email you, I’m actually thinking about how you’d do that, I was a Pastor before going back into Tech and my Foundation President is a Pastor who was a Tech CEO. I’ve been thinking about how to extend our colleges and opportunities. I’ll write details an email and give you John’s info.
    2
  222. China’s real debt to GDP is somewhere between 600%-1000% with FX reserves dipping to just over $650 billion. It’s ability to pay its bills internationally is very constrained. We know from recent internal data from China its built enough housing to nearly house 5 billion people. These “make work” projects enslaved China in debt nationally and personally. Large portions of the Chinese GDP thus are no productive.
    2
  223. EverBackward? NeverTurning? EverGrounded? EverLate? EverEmbarrassed!

  224. Nice job!
    2
  225. It seems quite possible that this is an EV fire though we’ve seen no shipboard Tesla fires when an entire vessel is filled with them.🤔
    2
  226. Bunko Biden plays a dangerous game dribbling bits and pieces of needed military hardware.
    2
  227. You are right on the $ with SpaceX on the Moon and that will motivate more funding for NASA to go to SpaceX!
    2
  228. Congratulations on your 4 years and tea invention.
    2
  229. I watched your interview again. Excellent job. I have the capability to run narrative analysis on the CCP and Russian bot influence traces often going back several years of seeding. Within the next month or so I’ll see about providing more trace data on origins to embarrass people yapping propaganda. It depends on resources we have available, but I do feel it’s important. NAFO does a great job. So do you, Johnathan
    2
  230. There is no Russian Order. Only disorder which is reflected in many ways.
    2
  231. You need more internal data on China because it’s on the edge financially and people who have the inside scoop. You’ve intrigued me on the data side and I’m talking with my family office.
    2
  232. Is peanut a sea dog?
    2
  233. Sal, I will build our commercial fiber optic vessels here, we have a total of 5.
    2
  234. Great job, as usual, now we make a play for that Polar Class Ship within the next few days. That is a complicated deal.
    2
  235. Looks like inadequate ballasting? New title “What’s going on with Sinking?”
    2
  236. Sal, great job! That tie, you’re gonna need a little more flash! You know, let’s get hip! You do look subtlety sharp, but hipster flash is what you need with a maritime flare!
    2
  237. My coffee better not go up! I might have to charter a sailboat!
    2
  238. F-16s, more cluster mutations, long range missiles and more ammunition. Save lives
    2
  239. Forget box carriers, when are those Russian Super Yachts going to be auctioned off? Those shipyards could get a little lonely.
    2
  240. Are wearing your one year anniversary shirt? Festive☃️ Congratulations! 1st hand reports can’t been be beat! future Sal got it just right💯
    2
  241. Russia’s deception which has enveloped Tucker Carlson among others on the left such as Saul Alinsky among many others. Very clever deception a creating Russian Fraudulent Orthodoxy as a sham cover for horrible WAR CRIMES!
    2
  242. Great job on aggregating and analyzing news and info.
    2
  243. Now, watch sharp drop of gas and oil export because Russia is 100% dependence on US/Western tech to make it happen from Siberian gas, to oil and refineries. All depends on US petroleum engineering and support. With breakdowns it will take years to recover. Great job, Sal. The long term is we have the collapse of the two big dictatorships.
    2
  244. I sailed out of LA where the old Catalina steamship used to sail from when I was in high school. I know LA Harbor. I know Long Beach Harbor as we sailed past all of the commercial shipping.
    2
  245. Sal, you had me for a moment. Since Bradley’s, I believe, were originally able to float though not at sea.
    2
  246. Admiral “Brown”? Well, an old underground political campaign “if it’s Brown flush it” when Reagan ran for governor of California. “No lessons learned” is the critical comment.
    2
  247. “Shafted?”
    2
  248. Have a great vacation, Sal. Thanks for the update.
    2
  249. The global resources are available to completely cut off Russian grain over a season. Thus includes many other commodities with new rare earths discovery and massive gold find Russia has killed itself. China is near the edge of the cliff as well because of, you guessed it, massive corruption! Russia and China poster children for corruption. Russia simply embraced evil as a government and a people just like Hitler and the Nazis.
    2
  250. While Peter Zeihan gets somethings factually wrong in specific details, he’s not on done so on India. INDIA HAS ASSURED IT WON’T BE A GREAT POWER. Vast corruption in India paralyze its ability to be an international leader(my experience with India) and Peter points out its economically “isolationist” policy limits how it can grow. India’s long term soviet ties and inability to fully engage with the West means it remains limited. This will foster more embedded poverty and its own corruption. The brain drain will continue limiting the country’s future. Music video “Take the Poo to the Loo” produced by UN WHO exemplifies backwardness not addressed. Watch the humorous cartoon video of a society stuck in backwardness.
    2
  251. Great report. I can hear a herd of lawyers outside heading toward the East Coast. You are so right with facilities in communications we have an even worse situation undersea and on shore. Poor infrastructure globally, poorly integrated. All boards and nails, but that creates opportunity for our company.
    2
  252. Great informative interview!
    2
  253. Excellent, video guys! The one meter telescope will be installed within the next 2-3 months my ranch! We might rename the ranch to Space Cowboy Ranch, maybe not?
    2
  254. Tony, get well soon. I apparently had Covid very early on and retained immunity. Back then I was sick for a little over three days with flu like symptoms. Be well and blessed.
    2
  255. They’re broke! The Chinese shipbuilders are going out of business and even the survivors are losing money. Business in shipbuilding is making China go broke.
    2
  256. I’m marginally involved with high temp sensors that could be used to create nuclear propulsion using tech developed at Oak Ridge-little to no contamination or risk, but issues to be worked out.
    2
  257. Incredible! Sounds like the US Navy has been getting fire fighting instructions from the Russian Navy!😮
    2
  258. Sal, you just had to rain on their parade across the date line and equator. “Was you there Charlie?” Actually, good going explaining navigation without GPS. Very good presentation of the concepts.
    2
  259. I’m very hyper looped now!
    2
  260. Excellent report, Lei. I just watched a series on Chinese History last night.
    2
  261. Well, if you’re in the BBC program you have to be up for an Emmy!😉
    2
  262. Very good discussion, but again the GOP pales into comparison with the progressive leftists in the DNC supporting the new Soviet group! CCP connected Liberation Road, Russian soviet/communist World Peace Movement(name changed) even contributed to Joe Biden almost his entire career. DNC agreement with socialists and Communist Party USA are all in public record. You need to realize a realignment is taking place in US which I believe with sweep away some of this corruption. Those falling for Russian and CCP propaganda are going to be corrected or humiliated soon in my opinion. Again, the self sovereign movement globally is going to improve freedom globally. I’m optimistic and believe the little guy will have more wealth as a result.
    2
  263. Merry Christmas, Sal and Crew! You know I’ve seen several very nice homes built from containers. Don’t you think a container “palace” for your family would be quite a tribute to “What’s Going On With Shipping?” and your work. Also, Happy New Year as you think about a container palace for the family.
    2
  264. I think you need to go on a hurricane NOAA plane and report 🤮 LIVE on You Tube! Great entertainment and insight for us and your students. You can champion preparation.
    2
  265. Great, as always, but I recommend going tie-dye with a nautical theme for dress!⚓️
    2
  266. Sal grounds the Sealift Command on the shoals of their own 🐗💩!
    2
  267. Thanks, Sal, I’ve been working on my Foundation and will be in touch on opportunity for teaching at sea.
    2
  268. Consummate question Noah was asked applies here. “How long can you tread water?”
    2
  269. I warned you as to what was happening inside China. I’ve very concerned for the Chinese people!
    2
  270. Puff and Fluff on oil trade since there aren’t many seaworthy ships available. It’s a propaganda piece fueled by Russia in a distributed way to look legitimate. All the ships subject to boarding and seizure without insured oil assets. Cash flow not profit created by Russia as more infrastructure collapse. The price of production is approaching the breaking point.
    2
  271. We’ll done Sal. Make sure the Checks from China clears the bank! The Foreign Exchange position is bad, really bad as graft and corruption sucks dollars out of China. It’s a disaster with hypothecation puts total debt in China $126 Trillion.
    2
  272. In my opinion shipping IT Data management from factory to front door integration is coming and will commoditize shipping prices. Carriers need to revamp, integrate and become part of Open Source data. This means port automation.
    2
  273. Excellent review of material on disruption! I’ve been working in the disruptive space for a long time in communications and new Semiconductor technology.
    2
  274. I’m considering moving out of the US and getting citizenship elsewhere.
    2
  275. I love your analysis and comparison of Russian City and Boston. This was a great and entertaining look into human potential/opportunity.
    2
  276. You must be a scooter guy or a bicycle only? Possibly a EV bike.
    2
  277. Sal is wound up tighter than a snare drum! Politcal Idiots piss us all off.
    2
  278. Great job, I too have experienced poverty and very good times. I respect everyone and understand.
    2
  279. Great episode! CATL bought, I believe ABC Battery in US and it’s interesting this battery tech has been developed and evolving for several years coming from work in US ignored early on.
    2
  280. Shall we call you sailor Sal then? Actually, I began sailing and crewing on a teacher’s sailboat in high school later joined by my debate partner the following year. He gave up on sailing going motor yacht.
    2
  281. Very interesting and congratulations on 10k!
    2
  282. Professor Sal needs to conduct a deep sea archeology trip! Build up that retirement fund on deep horizon!
    2
  283. Great info, sorry to see the incident and injuries.
    2
  284. Great job, but energy is going to be a big play, but I think we’ll see over supply if Cathie Wood is right and huge impact on shipping that could be negative, but is she right. Listen to her report.
    2
  285. Proof of Stake = Proof of Serfdom
    2
  286. As far as China the steel production has fallen off a cliff and closures. Shutdown of shipbuilding support infrastructure in China will have impact I suspect, but we’ll see.
    2
  287. Excellent interview with a profoundly moral and ethical understanding. Russia continues to scare up the Boogeyman of “Globalists” and so forth. The old farts of WEF and other nonsense organizations are going to be emasculated by technology that’s bringing in the full era distributed and self healing robustness and decentralization. Neither Russia or China have a place in that New World that tilts heavily toward federation of the little man.
    2
  288. Great review of despotic Russia. Many of its citizens are just as despotic as Putin.
    2
  289. Modify Genes or Jeans? I won’t wear skinny jeans!
    2
  290. Very good show, Wyoming hyperloop powered by 4th Gen Nuclear that can help reduce Carbon emissions.
    2
  291. I hate to bring you bad news, but in Wyoming, ND, FL and TX they are ramping up production we could see economic boost.
    2
  292. Mining Cheese from the moon will be big biz!😉😂
    2
  293. China’s Debt is off the hook and local and regional debt is the next default wave to hit including their high speed rail and highways.
    2
  294. Great job guys!
    2
  295. I don’t think time favors Putin as underlying Russian economy is failing, badly.
    2
  296. Thanks, Sal, from the update. Very interesting to see the hull configuration.
    2
  297. The ships kept up delivering grain no matter if Russians were in or out. Nobody takes Russia seriously anymore as a threat as US is threatening to destroy Black Sea fleet.. Ukraine never agreed to anything verified by NATO command.
    2
  298. Ragnar is captured in Norway

  299. Congratulations on reaching 40k
    2
  300. I wanted to return to this interview because VATNIK seems so close to RATnik! I think of the “rats” in Russia may be drowning as they jump ship with no place to land.
    2
  301. Great translation! You were translating blah blah blah!
    2
  302. It’s amazing how much Putin mirrors Hitler as he evolves Russia into into kleptocratic fascist “empire.”
    2
  303. Great job, Sal! Thanks for these struggling reports of being unprepared because of lack of training and coordination. The Navy should be ashamed!
    2
  304. Great Show❤! I’m sorry, but you’re making my St Louis trip at the very end of the month not include a river cruise.😢
    2
  305. Thank you! It may be contagious in Colorado!
    2
  306. Professor Sal, maybe “What’s going on with RoRos?” Is a new segment?
    2
  307. When we look at both “sides of the isle” that parrot Kremlin in horrible ways you are ashamed. The Kremlin tries to manipulate through laughable propaganda if you are in any way observing facts.
    2
  308. Potato or potato!
    2
  309. Congratulations and Happy Wedding Anniversary
    2
  310. Putin needs face the harshest punishment possible. A global public televised trial needs to happen.
    2
  311. Sal, you relished publishing “dropped a shaft” yet resisted more sordid humor!
    2
  312. I agree the Biden Administration will look to blame anyone they can after they blame “the Russians,” after all the blame will be put on Big Corporations like Big Oil.

  313. Professor Sal, you still need a Hawaiian style “What’s Going On With Shipping?” shirt!
    2
  314. Excellent review!
    2
  315. Professor Sal great job of tracking down the nitty gritty of what’s going on inside shipping. Very interesting details on this battle.
    2
  316. You have assistants that would be great for Tik Toc!
    2
  317. No, Russia won’t use nukes because it would be the end of Russia. It’s time to sink Russian ships and submarines.

  318. The cancellations/reduction on semiconductors by Apple and others changes a number outlooks I’m finished electronics out of China. TSMC has taken a hard view on contracts, but it’s not an even picture. Durable goods like washing machines and similar are also getting component cancellations. This suggests to me that there is plan for big drop. You are very right on US Exports and Carriers will be disappointed on US Exporters with possibly more leverage over carriers they don’t anticipate and FBI will come knocking. I expect innovation will break through coming from US creating more exports over the next 18 months, but I suspect they will be calling on the DOJ door too.

  319. You convinced me about the Jones Act!

  320. Love your programs! My fiancé is a PhD in nuclear physics originally from Chin and me in Laser/Quantum Research and engineering!

  321. My aid is Ukrainian whose been here I’m the US for 30 years. She exemplifies the work ethic of the country of Ukraine. One my frustrations is the lack of understanding about Ukraine. The US should not fear Russian collapse. Both Russia and China are nearing total collapse. This is a good thing and will lead to more freedom.

  323. Very interesting guys.
    2
  324. I certainly agree with you. I’ve followed the empire of Russia since I was a kid. I’m nearly 71 and working on a super computer project as chief engineer-only in America! Or only in the free world should I say…
    2
  325. Always good information and informative. HOWEVER, let’s get really real about Russia and China. One simple word: DEMOGRAPHICS, no kiddos and this is the Last Russian War, because they only have old men. Putin isolated surrounded by cronies and Xi Jinping the same thing. Both economies and countries are demographically dead. No recovery possible. Disastrous economic decisions by both disasters.
    2
  326. Great job, Sal. It saddens me when I hear the lack of understanding coming from Sealift and other commands. US crewing of ships makes sense. Technology development and more seems very important in US institutions. While it appears the Philippine Merchant Mariner Academy does a good job, there are still lapses in technology training. India appears to have multiple Academies so I know less there, but given Russian care in their own military I wonder about them. These are my perceptions, but I could be wrong.

  327. For new “Quantum Internet” my company is developing new cable structure, larger size and integrated “inflight processing” where tapping will be exposed and all is secured.
    2
  328. I went to grad school in St Louis! The History Guy’s home town! Miss Ted Drew’s Frozen Custard-good stuff.
    2
  329. Excellent presentation guys! Great ideas on living on Mars!
    2
  330. Lawsuits portend of a growing number of lawsuit possibilities against Russia and ICC action coming out of Ukraine. The results of the trial against Evergiven open a global can of worms. Ever Given and lawsuits by Ukraine citizens, agricultural entities and more that have suffered as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine now are opened by UN actions. This neglect of duty is going to go against Russia further isolating them.
    2
  331. Russian coal is lower thermal output and can offset higher shipping as Russian “brown coal” is a lot like Germany’s coal.
    2
  332. I’m installing a 1 meter PlaneWave Telescope at my ranch in Wyoming near Yellowstone and the Telescope is ready to ship! I will make available some remote Telescope time over the Internet by reservation. When you visit USA I would like to invite you to the ranch!
    2
  333. Ever heard of nail houses? Ghost cities? 50% of China’s cement use is pure waste!
    2
  334. Are you trying to “moon us?”🤔😳 Actually, you are right on target in my opinion since substantial investigation on creating habitats, dealing with regolith, and base on far side of moon much higher radiation levels! Nuclear propulsion needs to be further explored as well to cut down trip time to mars! Good work, as usual!🤠
    2
  335. Professor Sal, may a walk through video of a RoRo? Would they let you on?
    2
  336. Sal, a journey starts with a single step(ship)? Fiber optic laying and service ships don’t count as merchant marine?
    2
  337. Sal, have a whale of a time on your vacation! Raise the Jolly Roger and sail rogue.
    2
  338. I’m predicting a realignment in shipping as new technology favors local and creative small and medium business. With all digital transactions, no counter parties or need for intermediaries.
    2
  339. Great Series, I like your enthusiasm!
    2
  340. EXCELLENT! What this will introduce is concealed corruption beyond the current kleptocracy of thug Putin. Couple centralization with centralized corruption all the smart people will continue to escape. Right on the target. U of Chicago document study shows China’s economy really a Ponzi scheme with real debt to GDP of 400%. GREAT INSIGHT!
    2
  341. Then National Security Aspect is critical and very import here or in Briton.
    2
  342. 2 Party System is not baked in, and could change at any time.
    2
  343. Great Beer Run-do include beer runs in your class work? Real life shipping experience where you could define challenges and must do efforts to deliver beer ice cold!
    2
  344. The promotion of Nazis in Ukraine by Kremlin started as much as 5 years ago. Russian propaganda has been promoting to left wingers and right wingers alike. Left and right podcasters as well other media personalities. The CCP coordinated with RT. Many were paid huge sums. Some money went through CCP selling the narrative. I’ve seen accident emails and efforts to engage. A British MP candidate was paid.
    2
  345. Graphene hybrid optical processor is what my company is working on creating “quantum effect” processing interconnecting fiber optic network processing “inflight” with entangled wavelengths.
    2
  346. Sending you some more big LEGO’s because clearly you have such fun.
    2
  347. Small town America is a huge issue and the data interconnection between small town American connecting with small ports might be one idea.
    2
  348. I disagree on nuclear because Putin fears a huge percentage of his poorly maintained weapons will work. China has found their MLRS Rockets fail 30-40% being brand new! The corruption in China is as bad as Russia, if not worse.
    2
  349. Shell has a refinery near Woodriver and St Louis as well. My uncle was safety manager there years ago.

  350. Fine job today, Tony.

  352. Just on a conference with Cathie Wood of Ark Invest and she has been predicting glut of inventory. She’s been on that for over 9 months.
    2
  353. It’s a tie between Roscosmos and ULA!
    2
  354. Happy Orange Pill Friday! Happy Satoshi Day!
    2
  355. Sal, we’re gonna have to call you “Jonesy!”😂 Great job as usual. Russia’s reliance on western technical support for oil and gas. They’re dependent on US Petroleum engineering and this will begin to hurt. Price Cap sends a message more than anything that Russia isn’t capable of survival nor are Saudis with similar heavy high sulphate crude. They also are dependent on Western engineering oil services. Ukraine now attacks with new 1000km 75kg warhead drones inside Russia. so expect massive drones hitting even close to Moscow. This will rattle Putin as he wastes resources.

  356. Will Tony be enjoying a Moon Cake?

  364. I think Toyota may be producing EVs in US as well helping to build EV and PHEVs for South America and possibly Africa. Ford also is moving to build EV and PHEV in their Pick up and SUV lines. I think right people are in place possibly at Ford to make dramatic EV shift, GM is more vapor ware over line, but investment in NexGen Nuclear could produce energy for manufacturing.

  365. C’mon Sal, we want to see that Hawaiian print, even if it’s on flannel!😊

  366. Gold charts show its in trouble heading lower and oil heading lower, so artificial Ruble Putin Pump Fails! So how is this going to impact tankers and shipping? Oil may really tank on Monday and Putin’s gold peg of Ruble with derivatives fails. Russian collapse gets closer?

  378. Awesome content and interesting.

  384. How much Lego Stock do you own now, Sal? Or at least should? Maybe you need a US Carrier Lego project! Looking forward to your US Merchant Marine! Cheers
    1
  385. Thanks for a good report. That Chinese rail announcement kills the F-35 purchase Thailand hoped to make. That may kill our project in Thailand in a new FAB of $10B+ investment. Theft from China is always a threat. Thailand is weakening itself as China’s defaults grow and total indebtedness in all sectors is likely $126 Trillion based on government, private, business and consumer estimates.

  395. I like to see you discuss 4 Gen Nuclear to electrify the world! Molten Salt Reactors are just one tech that could also power Mars operations besides here on earth. BTW, Austin has great BBQ!

  398. Good job! Hyperloop will be sooner

  399. China predictions are more dubious considering 9,000 business owners from Wuhan protested against CCP because of their impending bankruptcies with almost a close to a million or possibly more throughout China including Beijing. Many of theses guys were Tesla potential buyers with upwards of 1000 employees, some smaller operators. I DO THINK TESLA WILL DO WELL IN US, S Korea and grow in Japan as well as Europe emerge in late fall to more productivity.

  400. Dr Sal, I hate to disagree with you on Russia, but Turkey has kicked lil’ Putsie in the ass! They will escort Ukraine grain and block Russian products and shipping. Turkey is doing deals for shipbuilding, military hardware and more with Russia not on their dance card. Now let’s tussle over China! The pricing value is NOT UP in Chinese products, but rather it’s sinking as China in massive DEFLATION! Eurodollar futures and data indicate massive debt in China with PBOC debt on the books at $90 Trillion not including other government issues in the PRC. No, China has no quick fix and social unrest is getting worse.

  426. Buckmeister Fuller proposed using precast concrete(new concrete process) high speed monorail track throughout US linking smaller town and rural areas distributing population, using tech like fiber optic and innovative manufacturing-hyperloop & monorail great combo! 1st iteration of plan in early 70s then refined 10 years later.

  434. HyperTaxi? Giga Berlin? I have heard too the rumors of a UK facility. Tesla is more popular than Chinese autos inside China as the biggest automaker has an estimated 100,000 unsold cars, trucks and vans! I received a report with a video of the field after field of unsold vehicles. Or maybe they were plating car seeds and no longer need factories? Nikola is smoke and mirrors!
