They lost me at racism
You've been lost your whole life 9:am. Didn't read the Supreme Courts Wards Cove Packing Case in 1989 either, lost on racism? With that Civil Rights Act of 1991 that Congress passed 9:00 AM? Salmon canneries required cheap, unskilled labor, and the Alaska Packers' Association primarily hired immigrants of Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino descent as seasonal workers. On the Star Fleet, "Orientals" were segregated from white workers and crew, in part due to separate habits and diet and because they were treated as second-class citizens. APA supplied these workers with housing, fuel, and water, while Chinese labor contractors provided them with food, whiskey, and opium. Mr Justice Blackmun spelled it out proudly in 1989. The Star Fleet moved to Wards Cove. "The salmon industry as described by this record takes us back to a kind of overt and institutionalized discrimination we have not dealt with in years: a total residential and work environment organized on principles of racial stratification and segregation, which, as Justice STEVENS points out, resembles a plantation economy. Post, at ----, n. 4. This industry long has been characterized by a taste for discrimination of the old-fashioned sort: a preference for hiring nonwhites to fill its lowest level positions, on the condition that they stay there..."
Looks like a mission to ultimitly get paid, for all involved. The old wreck means nothing now and a 30 year old chain sighting will find nothing. Just a money grub.
What's wrong with a money grub 5:47. Harland & Wolff built the Star of Bengal & Titanic operating since 1861. During the 1920s, Catholic workers were routinely expelled from working in Harland & Wolffs shipyard in Ireland. The Star of Russia was the sister ship of the Bengal. How's that working out for Biden's Catholic Church in Russia today? The Star of Russia, together with her sister Star of Bengal, was the largest of Corry’s ships. November 1, 1901 The Star of Russia was sold to the Alaska Packers Association. The Money Grub isn't a new concept. On 29 July 1905, the Star of Russia ran aground on Chirikof Island in Alaska. She was salvaged and repaired but the cost was a substantial US $56,000.
