Larry Fink and his Black Rock private equity conglomerate will take over not just the Panama Canal but also over 43 ports in 23 countries, including Mexico, the Netherlands, Egypt, Australia, Pakistan and elsewhere.
The deal was made between Hong Kong based CK Hutchison Holding and Black Rock for $22.8 billion. The transaction was billed as protection of US interests from the godless Asian Commies. On the other hand, who is going to protect Americans from Black Rock? Are their interests one hundred percent aligned with the US man on le cul de sac? And, if this was a deal meant to protect the Yankees, where did the money come from? Could some of it be from the US Treasury?
Perhaps there's no need to worry. Fink can hire people that actually know something about running ports or even leave the current lowlies in place. Most of us don't care how ships move from place to place anyway until one of them wrecks an interstate bridge.
