Strange as it might seem, the threat of administration-imposed tariffs has not slowed investment in America's ports. Most are already engaged in making upgrades, performing maintenance, expanding to facilitate larger ships and constructing new storage facilities. Many have already deepened shipping channels, built new locks and invested in larger cranes and other facilities. This is all happening because of the advent of the new and larger neo-Panamax ships, which can transport 10,000 or more containers. The improvements to harbors and terminals mark an ongoing growth in port infrastructure. The impact on local and regional economies is huge — representing billions of dollars and thousands of new jobs created.

 It appears that the majority of Americans fear attacks by hackers, while 26 percent are worried about the collection of their data from major corporations. Another underlying fear of many Americans is a general mistrust in key institutions to protect their data. Due to the deluge of data breaches in 2017 and 2018, people feel as if it’s only a matter of time before their data is exposed to cyberattackers. However valid those fears may be, Americans still take no precautionary steps to protect their data, which begs the question: What will it take for Americans to prioritize internet security?
