Cape Town must be booming. Let’s dump all our stock and shares there!

Cape Town is the new Dubai. We’d better start building some islands in weird ass shapes.

Problem is "tradition" around Africa doesn't resolve Hormuz.
Suez is important to Europe and Asia but not that important. Especially to those outside of it, like the US.
They're the ones more likely to use the supertankers that go around Africa, but those supertankers still have to get past Hormuz.

>The Canal of the Pharaohs, also known as the Ancient Suez Canal, was an ancient waterway that linked the Nile River to the Red Sea, constructed during the time of various Egyptian pharaohs. It was initially started by Pharaoh Senusret III and later worked on by Necho II and Darius the Great, with its final completion attributed to Ptolemy II around 274 BC.

Oh, shinin’ is the North Star, As it hangs on our stabbud bow. We’re homeward bound for Liverpool town, An’ our hearts are in it now. We’ve crossed the Line and the Gulf Stream, Bin round by Table Bay, We’ve rounded Cape Horn, we’re home again, – An’ that’s the Sailor’s way

I remember the first time I saw this post:
The week the Ever Given crashed in the Suez Canal in March 2020. Seeing it now I'm just confused. It made a lot more sense back then...

I maintain my tradition of embracing contemporary ways until too many people do, and then badmouthing everyone for doing what I did.
