The use of the word shipping here could be the generic that covers all modes of transport of goods. Including air, rail, and truck. Now who doesn't love the air transport of freight? It's hot!

Speaking of false information it's hardly an indictment when you are taking a specific incident (3 fruit pickers held captive for a year i.e. slave labor) and applying that to unfair labor practices where a union could actually do some good. Seems more of a debate strategy for derailing her position (silly as it may be). But then it only highlights how ridiculous this whole thread is. We should truly be more concerned for the fruit pickers, not only in Florida, but in California, and anywhere else where the federal government turns a blind eye to such exploitation. Instead of debating about goofballs in the entertainment industry, how about turning this discussion into something that could actually help somebody?
Now that would be hot.

Teen girls nowadays like shipping? Moving frieght by sea? Wow, I am so out of touch...

I was arguing against Moira because she used false information to support her case. And it ticks me off that someone would spend their time supporting writers when there is actual slave labour happening in the same country.
