Geography is defined as places people go to. Traditionally people go to geography to see the people living there already. Maybe they are relatives or maybe they have some sort of skill that the people visiting are interested in acqurining.
The travel thus implies a form of trade where relatives feed the visitors or commerce where the inquisitive buy something to trade when they go home. This implies a net gain overall as poor relations tend to get left behind in the operation of trade.
Who needs them?
Commerce on the other hand has its own peculiar ways of subsisting. And it would be a one way street of limited import if it were continually a one way street. But ports lead to other ports and soon enough visitors learn what to bring to the fire.
It is a peculiar state of affairs where trade is restricted by an outside service of any kind. Borders have to be manned but it works out best for all concerned if border patrols are minimal. Artificial practices that do more than offer a service for traders tend to ignite a poisonous for-profit scheme that trade itself generates opposition to.
How ports fare when they fall on hard times is a measure of how well there balance of trade is set up. If the difficulty is obviously a matter of time out of normal patterns that should quickly offer hope for recovery, things generally tend to reshuffle as a change in the profits and losses take place.
The is always some sort of cover. If commerce has become overprotected the covers either get removed or the businesses start to fail and operations move to another port. How soon things get better in the USA will be a measure of how successful business in the USA intends to be when its operations are threatened by such outside forces as have been visited over the last ten and more years.
It will be interesting to see how a successful business man will fashion recovery compared to the previous regimes. The one dealing with the first catastrophe was an absolute disaster himself. He was fortunate enough to have started with a loaded treasury, or an apparently loaded treasury. That was happy to subsist on theft and outright murder..
The second one was a lack-lustre regime, full of promises but with empty cupboards. And worse that one was secretly just as shameful as its predecessor. In fact it is famous for its lies and liars and it is hard to see how it can possibly recover. It has to be as infamous as any regime in history including the very worst of them. It is difficult to see anything else about it but acrimony and infamy.
The third has to be a maker or a breaker. And apparently he is not going to have the luxury of any pretences. He is not even going to have the false protection of the trade restictors. The civil service has been taught to serve itself at all costs. And it will be a particularly adept leader that can work with that situation.
