Say Goodbye to the Panama Canal

Oh, now we’re blaming AI for our mistakes? Hopefully, they don’t have long memories (oh wait, they do) - down the road G will remember you threw him/it/her/them under the bus! Remember the old Klingon saying “revenge is a dish best served cold!”.

Heh, and here I thought you might appreciate the fact that I acknowledged I was wrong.

Wrong again.

Well, I’m going to ruffle your feathers again and for that I apologize. But you didn’t really admit you were wrong; you said the AI gave you bad information! And to be frank, I thought the rest of my post made it clear I was being silly and playing it for laughs. But the last thing I want to do is irritate one of the few people on this board that I actually look forward to their posts!

No harm no foul. Cordial discussion.

Getting bad information and passing it along - and then admitting it - I would think is the very nature of admitting you are wrong. How else can I state, “You are right” without me also being wrong?

Whose wife gives him many brownie points when he tells her, “You are right.”

The Panama Canal is experiencing a significant surge in revenue, driven by global shipping disruptions linked to the war involving Iran, according to reporting by the Financial Times. Canal authorities say revenues have increased by as much as 15%…

Victor Vial, chief financial officer of the Panama Canal Authority, told the Financial Times that daily ship transits through the canal have risen sharply since the conflict began in late February. Average crossings have increased from around 34 vessels per day to as many as 40 or 41 on peak days, marking a notable rise in traffic through the strategic waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The disruption in the Middle East has forced Asian buyers in particular to reroute shipments of oil, fuel, and bulk commodities such as coal, much of which originates from the US Gulf Coast. This shift has intensified demand for passage through the canal, driving auction prices for transit slots to record levels. In one case cited by officials, a gas tanker reportedly paid as much as $4 million for a single crossing, although most fees remain below $1 million.

I know which side my bread is buttered on. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
