One ship in Panama Canal paid $2.4 million to skip the line

1. Kinda like American politics,...

.... the fatter your wallet,.. the quicker your access for a political solution to your problems.

Pay to play,.. laissez-faire capitalism branding of Democracy.

It used to be called bribery of the political system,... now it is called legal lobbying to get your way.

Capturing Democracy to your benefits with your excessive financial resources to gain access and get it done. Becomes Democracy only for the rich and well to do fat cats. The rest of the population languishes by the wayside because they can't afford the entry fees to join in the game or access the fast track preferential treatments.
