Fear = Ratings? Where is the fear in that article? Seems pretty factual as to what’s happening.
And the guy working in the sub store needs his job as much as cruise employees need theirs so in his mind it is essential. In my mind, food is more important than a vacay on a cruise ship.
food is definitely essential and a cruise is not essential to our life, but both those of employees need a job. CLIA put out a thing early in this shutdown saying the cruise industry provides like 1.2 million jobs or something. This shutdown has been brutal for those who work on the cruise ships, as well as the state of Florida's economy (and to a smaller extent some other ports who also accept cruise ships for departures in the US) as well as all of the caribbean island nations who are heavily reliant on cruise ships for their economy.
I am not necessarily advocating for cruise ships to restart operations right this minute, but I feel like there needs to be progress made, and progress made soon so the ships can start sailings again.
