Are they moving an amount beyond the capacity of a railway? And I would expect that the ocean vessels wouldn’t be the same as the ones in the canal.

Edit: From the article:

Shipping containers from those ocean-going vessels would be transferred by cranes at Kep to and from canal barges.

Why a canal? Why not just build a railway to the existing port?

Paperless has taken me from various stacks of important documents strewn around my apartment, to having all of these things nicely organised and searchable.

There’s telraam, or you could go a more DIY route.

It’s not a utopia, it’s perfectly possible if we work towards it.

live beyond the practical reach of public services just for the sake of it.

Specifically to exclude farmers

I don’t think rural living makes sense if you’re also commuting. Small towns can have good transport links to other nearby towns but I don’t think it makes sense to support those who decide they want to live beyond the practical reach of public services just for the sake of it.

I think the alternatives should be good enough that raising gas prices isn’t a problem.

Car dependency punishes poor people. The solution is viable alternatives, for which having fewer cars is often very beneficial.
