Elsewhere, “quants” with PhDs in astrophysics collate historical data with information about geography, weather, stock prices, and ship movements, searching for opportunities to place stock market bets on global trade. I know that this is just an inevitable/necessary part of a functioning market, but it somehow it also seems a little bit sad that this kind of human intellectual horsepower is spent on things like this…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have chipped, primed, and painted a ship many times because of this. Fortunately it was only around the equipment I "owned" so the space was only about 10x10 ft. The amount of rust created is INSANE

Just curious, in what kind of situation did you "own" (I read the quotes as implying you had responsibility for the upkeep & use of) a small well-defined piece of a larger ship?

In the Navy, while aboard a ship, you generally have spaces that you or your team "own" whether it's the walkways right out side your work space or aloft.
