It was announced this week that in the days and hours before the deal died, DPW offered to purchase and operate container scanners at their own expense for each of the ports involved. This would have made these facilities the safest in the world, according to our current ridiculous metrics. This also confirms what I've feared: that racism really was at the heart of the darkness. Safety concerns, however misguided, were allayed by the company and downplayed by political leadership. Economic issues were never really discussed. That doesn't leave much other than straight up "we don't like" you. We passed up free stuff and spat in the face of those who offered it. Dispicable.
