American Shipping - Eric Shine

The Transport Grid - One of the first grids the PetroElite decided they needed to control was transport. Transport falls into categories beginning with shipping. Transporting large amounts of goods over oceans was vital from Colonial times on. The entire petroleum infrastructure depends on shipping. Controlling shipping therefore enables the PetroElite to keep their costs low and immunize themselves from liability for toxic dumping. They also figured out early on that controlling the Merchant Marine meant they could stifle protests to their growing transfer of assets paid for by the American People into their own hands. Remember the Ports deal? That was one of the only times anyone noticed.
