You must have a real problem with the concept of the Panama Canal.
- ericmay 7mo agoThe Panama Canal is a man-made construct and costs money to operate. How is that comparable?
- thaumasiotes 7mo agoIt's comparable in that it's a nearly-identical construct that functions in an actually-identical way. Constructing the Strait of Hormuz was cheaper than constructing the Panama Canal.† That doesn't change anything about the fact that it exists. † Cheaper in an abstract sense. In a more literal sense, the tolling authority, Panama, didn't have to pay for the canal; it was built by the United States.
- ericmay 7mo ago> Constructing the Strait of Hormuz Who dug it up?
- thaumasiotes 7mo agoThink of it as reflecting the will of God.
