Rates:
The violence with which
shipping rates have fallen
from their highs made earlier
this spring is nothing short of
awe inspiring. The "day rate"
for dry bulk carriers has
fallen from nearly $230
thousand/day to $15 thousand
in a few months. As a gauge
of the health of the global

The white man seeks to conquer nature, to bend it to his will and to use it wastefully until it is all gone and then he simply moves on, leaving the waste behind him and looking for new places to take. Chiksika (Kispokotha Shawnee),March 19,1779
