I am convinced we need to build more canals and less highways.pic.twitter.com/3F0KsrCics
Reason one: Everyone wants to live near a canal, nobody wants to live near a highway.pic.twitter.com/p4afBi2xzk
Two: Highways are a literal death trap when they freeze, canals work the same way they are just more fun.pic.twitter.com/1YIKAQ3UiQ
Three: Canals require almost no maintenance work, the dirtroad on pic #1 is probably more expensive to keep in good shape.pic.twitter.com/ywdkh4wpPy
Reason six: So I can flex on @380kmh, frictionless mode of transportation.
Hmmm... Well Aqueducts will work even in catastrophic events like tsunamis and flooding. Take that Japan.
...you don't think aqueducts can get rekt by seismic activity? lol
Aaaaaah I ment canals! We Will just turn the aqueducts into waterslides.
likewise tho--look at Chinese history if you want a crash course in perils of canals
