Impassioned Call for saving the Merchant Marine

Is this how you view what you’re doing here?

You’re offering a set of potential solutions based on your assumptions, not just questioning the assumptions of others. That’s fine, but portraying it as something else is disingenuous at best.

You’re one of many stakeholders in the maritime industry. Your ideas on what the industry should do aren’t inherently superior to anyone else’s, and your insights into its problems aren’t inherently more accurate. Calling for industry unity and action while dismissing the ideas or methods of other stakeholders isn’t a very inspiring pitch.

This whole thing reminds me of the Megacorp Union thread. You came in with an idea, received substantial criticism for that idea, and then instead of factoring in that criticism, you started a new thread saying that we all just didn’t get it.
