This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. $6 billion in US dollar equivalent annual revenue is a trivially small amount of income. The undertaking of the new canal for strategic and expediency (efficiency) reasons is far more credible than the money to be made from the ship traffic. This lack of understanding about the value of today's money is pretty overwhelming. The people in large world governments are not even impressed with a $6 billion dollar label, even in annual revenue. Our newest aircraft carrier cost more than double this amount. The thinking that this amount of income would be impressive is laughable. Power is the currency of the elites, not money. If they built this canal and then destroyed the Suez, this would make far more sense. Although cute, this woman is sadly mistaken in her conclusions.
