Water on Mars

Scientists discovered evidence of a large reservoir of water on approximately 13 miles below the Martian surface inside the pores of the planet’s crust. They believe there is enough to cover the entire planet with an ocean about one mile deep. Imagine a populated planet in the future with trade routes navigated by sub-mars-ines towing containers. The discovery is a promising sign that Mars could one day reveal the most sough-after discovery in human history. Life beyond Earth. And subsequently eventual trade beyond earth.

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a country that found a way to circumvent the import tariffs on steel and aluminum by smelting the metal at home, and then sending the ingots to another country to be finished and then exported into the 3rd country taking full advantage of the free trade agreement in place to which they were not a member. And then U.S. Customs stepped in and slapped a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum that wasn’t smelted within the free trade agreement countries. The moral of the story: Circumventing Customs regulations is like poking the bear. Reality can really bite.
