    Aren’t most locks at the great lakes under Canadian control? Wouldn’t it be a shame if those locks would suddenly go into urgent maintenance?

      You’re joking right? Sure, his opinions are stupid but I invite you to open google maps and scroll over to the body of water between the US and Mexico.

        That’s just corporate complacency. Thankfully Google doesn’t dictate the names of things, either.

          It’s the exact opposite of ‘his opinions don’t matter’ though.

        For me it says

          Yes. If his opinions didn’t matter it would only say ‘Gulf of Mexico’.

      you mean 25%. 45% don’t vote, which means they are fine with Trump.
