Startups are pummeled in the ‘great unwinding’

I hope cruising only recovers with big reforms including:

* Cruise firms pay their taxes and aren't allowed to use flags of convenience

* They're required to look after and pay their staff properly

* They're required to dramatically improve their fuel usage and efficiency

* They're required to protect the environment, in particular their mooring and waste disposal practices

* They're required to improve their onboard sanitation so that the spread of noroviruses, bacterial infections and other transmission is much better filtered and controlled.

I hope it doesn't, it's fundamentally at odds with solving climate change, which is potentially a battle for our survival. For moving hotels.

I have no clue about most businesses but I'm pretty sure the cruise industry is going to be decimated by this.
