It seems that the $320 million Gaza Pier built by President Biden has broken from its moorings and drifted off to get stuck on the beach. It is the perfect analogy to the Biden Presidency.
In the last 3 months, the US military has spent $320 million to "quickly" build a pier in Gaza to allow for boats to provide aid to the Gazans. Your first question is probably along the lines of, "Gaza is not an island, why would it need a pier when there are highways?" I don't know the answer to that one. Some people say that the pier was needed because the trucks with aid coming from the highway were robbed by Hamas, and the aid workers were attacked.
The next question in your mind is probably, "If Hamas robs aid from the highway, won't they rob aid from the pier?" The answer to that is "Yes." In addition to shooting at the US military building the pier, all of the aid from the pier has been stolen by Hamas or other bandits.
Now that the pier has failed and ships have run aground--sounds like the Biden presidency, right?--what's next for aid to Gaza? It will not be air drops. That was tried but the chutes failed and it crushed the hungry people. (Is General Les Nessman in charge?) Of course, Hamas stole all the dropped aid. I am guessing that Biden contracts with Amtrak next to attempt to build an aid railway into Gaza. In 2038, when the first aid packages arrive, I am sure they will be stolen by Gazans.
Thank you, Biden Pier, for being the perfect analogy to President Biden. FJB. LGB. 86 46.

Update: Apparently the US Navy was doing some work on the pier, perhaps relocating it, when it broke up and beached itself like a dying whale. #GazaDeathPort
