An “American Entity”

This amorphous term is the one now applied to the company which will run the ports previously owned by DP World. Much rejoicing on the xenophobic right. But surely, we need to know what this entity is before being relieved. The idea that simply because an entity is American it is categorially likely to be more concerned about security is an almost clinical example of mindless nativism. Meanwhile, I’m hoping for Halliburton. It’s an American entity whose ultimate victory would thrill both left and right.
