Trump Calls for Return of Panama Canal Over "Unfair" Transit Rates
Comparing the cost of something over 100 years ago to the cost now is nonsensical. Here's what Google AI says about the cost of transiting the Panama Canal in the last 10 years. The cost to pass through the Panama Canal has changed significantly in the last ten years, with the average cost of transiting the canal increasing to $900,000 since the canal's expansion: Tolls Tolls are based on a ship's type, tonnage, and payload, with larger ships paying more. For example, Panamax containerships can pay up to half a million dollars in tolls. Auction fees Auction fees can double the cost of using the canal, and in 2023 reached as much as $4 million per passage. Drought A drought has halved the number of daily slots available through the canal, forcing shippers to pay more to get their cargoes through. The Panama Canal Expansion project, which was completed in 2016, tripled the canal's capacity. The canal authority is planning to create a new reservoir to supply enough extra water to handle an additional 12 to 15 passages a day. -

Trump Calls for Return of Panama Canal Over "Unfair" Transit Rates
As Senator S.I. Hayakawa notably said back when Panama Canal was returned to .... "Panama!": "It's our canal. We stole it fair and square." Imbecilic and lacking follow thru thinking to assume US can just take back the canal with no repercussions...- 1

All change at Manchester clubs net season
More touristy fans these days. Atmosphere is getting worse. I know a Japanese family who traveled to England recently. They watched an Arsenal match, then headed to Man City, and finally saw their third game at Anfield. They spent a lot in the club shops. I think they bought a few 'half & half' scarves too. -
