She got distracted

From Into the Raging Sea by Rachel Slade. Page 166.

This is one of those chapters that could have been dropped or sharply edited. Slade wants to take pot-shots at capitalism, businessmen, the economics of logistics, and preppers and spends a few pages talking about stuff about which she has little knowledge but strong opinions. In terms of preppers, its almost as if, in the middle of writing her book about the El Faro sinking, she got distracted by The New Yorker article on preppers by Evan Osnos. It doesn't really have anything to do with her story, but it gives her a platform to express political opinions. Ugh.
