This is crazy. This is STUPID. I first heard this, this morning, on the radio — how Congress will have to appropriate funds from us, the U.S. taxpapers.
NO BLOODY WAY.
The ship owners/operators (or whoever) should pay.
Confiscate the damn ship, the ‘Dali‘, right now. It has to be worth a few million, if scrap metal alone.
This is NOT right.
Take notice. Don’t pay for this. Don’t!

It just struck ME because ‘Colombo‘ is my hometown — where I was born 70-years ago. [I left in 1969.]
That is a LOT of cargo going to Sri Lanka. WOW. I thought they were short of foreign currency and had strict import controls. I wonder what is in ALL those containers. A lot of containers. Doubt whether any of those will make it to Ceylon any time soon. Wonder what the impact will be.
I had never given it much thought prior to this. What does Sri Lanka IMPORT from the U.S.? What is it that they can’t get (for cheaper) from Asia? Interesting. I need to look this up.
