Yep. That is the major export hub for wheat corn and soy. Right out of the breadbasket and down the Mississipp. Think about all that barge traffic sitting on the river right now. All the way up past Omaha. Just sitting there waiting for months to move. And the railroad cars in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma that are not going to be moving because the shipping has gone down. And all the wally world goods that will not arrive in Bentonville or any of a number of other supply depots. And how that STUFF will sit until after it is out of style. The whole freaky mess grinding to a dead stop. It is like trying to stop a roller coaster that is running down the big hill. And REALLLLLY HARD to get started again. What will take two weeks to grind to a halt. Will take two years to get running again..... Put that in yer pipe an smoke it.....
