And you get Rickrolled if you stay on the page long enough.

  All of the sudden I had Rick Astley playing loudly in my computer and I was like "WTF?". Well played, well played.

  I got solidly caught as well. If you're lucky enough, you can also get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJIB1f7jk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJIB1f7jk. Object(c.useEffect)((function() { var e = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"; Math.random() > .999 && (e = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJIB1f7jk"), setTimeout((function() { return window.location.href = e } ), 9e4) }

  Thank you, I was wondering how I ended up with two Ricks singing at me this morning.

  The real rickroll occurs after buying that page's NFT and realizing what they just did to you.

I wonder what their $59b cost is based on?
- craftinator 6y ago
  I've heard from multiple sources that about $9b per day in commerce goes through the Suez, so that's probably just $9b * number of days stuck. I imagine the cost is actually quite a bit more, as the ripple effect from this traffic jam will continue for at least another month while shipments are diverted or delayed until traffic pressure returns to normal.
  - joosters 6y ago
    It's not like the $9b of daily commerce that can't get through the canal is being set alight and tipped overboard, it will reach its destination in the end. Some of that produce might have gone off, or the delay in its arrival causes knock-on costs, but the final cost is only going to be a fraction of that figure, not a large multiple!
    - craftinator 6y ago
      I agree that it won't be a large multiple, but, I do think it's naive to assume that it'll be a fraction of the cost. Consider the shear volume of stuff being transported. Millions of tons of goods across hundreds of delayed transports, some perishable, some with tight timeline requirements, some with tight contract requirements. And it's not like as soon as ships start moving again all of that cost will go away. Ships are still going to be diverted for weeks of not months to relieve traffic pressure.
      - Clewza313 6y ago
        If it's really time-critical, it's shipped by air, not sea. Container ships being delayed by a few days by rough weather, port delays etc happens all the time, and we're looking at a week tops here even for directly impacted ships.
    - craftinator 6y ago
      I never said a large multiple. Regardless, below are some numbers that could get us started in estimating costs: According to this paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the average loss of value per day of delay from the cargo on these ships is between 0.6 and 2.2 percent [1]. According to other research I've seen, somewhere between 12% and 30% of daily global sea trade goes through the Suez Canal. Anyone want to do the math? 1) https://www.nber.org/digest/jun12/time-trade-barrier https://www.nber.org/digest/jun12/time-trade-barrier

Quick, time to buy the NFT they advertise at the bottom of their website before the excitement abates! /s
