Thank You.  Wonderful tool.  Is there one for Europe?  Not related to the US election, of course.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Grain exporting states that are shown amongst the least affected states could rapidly shift to the worst affected column as their exports pile up at ports in New Orleans, Tacoma and the Great Lakes.  No amount of capital injected into banks that may already be fatally poisoned will create a willingness to accept a letter of credit by a foreign counter-party.  I believe that new, uncontaminated banks are the only solution.  I have sent letters to that effect to newspapers and Congress.  Fuck Wall Street.  Save the real economy.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
