I really worry for the "shipocalypse", and not only for D&D but also for all global econmy. If this is not fixed soon food and other necessary things can't be sent to other nations, and this is very bad.

It will likely take 4 to 5 years, roughly for that to happen, alot of stuff has to happen first.
