I take your point. The President promoting a company in the industry we cover, which makes it newsworthy. But I wanted to put it in context and not just give a free plug, so I showed how the mention didn't directly fit with the APEC theme and wasn't especially unique.

You're making ideological arguments, not fact-based ones. I get it. You don't like Biden and aren't going to give him credit for anything.

Not really a fair shot. Freight economy is down for reasons that have nothing to do with Washington. Besides, third quarter GDP (economic output) was a red-hot 4.9% in the 3rd quarter. . . Economy not perfect everywhere, but doing pretty good.

Countries typically look out for their own when they can. But we'll see if the U.S. pushes back.
