/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • That's how we get the oil out of the Gulf! We'll cover the troops in oil and wait for rain. 🤓

  • They could still give us free healthcare, free college, and state of the art infrastructure anyway.

    They just don't want to.

  • You're so brave for defending Reuters. What would they do without heroes like you? 🤡

  • Turns out, releasing the strategic reserve actually scared the market more. That means this isn't going to be quick.

  • Interesting finance quirk: without interest, a 30-year mortgage actually gets cheaper over time due to inflation.

  • The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse?

    Jump

  • It's only 24 miles wide at its narrowest point. You're right that they couldn't clog it completely, but making the waters un-navigable for large oil tankers seems doable. Especially since the crews wouldn't just have to watch out for the sunken ships, but also large and dangerous chunks of floating debris and hazards they can't see under the water.

    The imagery conjured by "death valley" to me is a boat graveyard - endless wrecks from shore to shore.

  • The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse?

    Jump

  • One needle can't. Wanna find out how many flaming wrecks Iran can fill the Strait with?

    Never mind the fact that workers aren't going to sail to their deaths into "death valley". Even with hazard pay it's going to be hard to actually find crews for every vessel, and the costs of insurance would be enormous.

  • Trump Might Want to End the War. Iran Won’t Do It on His Terms.

  • Iran saving the world from endless US aggression by keeping them occupied.

  • The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse?

    Jump

  • Yeah, if the Strait becomes "death valley" then that quickly transforms into economic collapse anyway.

    A bunch of immovable wrecks will close of the Strait just as well as a blockade.

  • And uranium is probably stored in gaseous form,

    ... huh. I had no idea. It's stored as uranium hexafluoride, which is part of the process of enrichment.

    I figured it'd be stored as hunks of metal.

  • More Than Half of Americans Read Below 6th-Grade Level - New York Almanack

  • I keep seeing this and it's not clear to me if this is general literacy or specifically English literacy. 21% of USAmericans speak English as a second language (or specifically "a language other than English at home"), which has to weigh on these statistics right?

    Not enough to explain it away. Even if every single one of them were counted that's still a large number of English-as-a-first-language speakers who are reading below a 6th grade level. It just seems like something that's important to consider.

  • United States.

    The US has achieved near-energy-independence through its shale oil and gas revolution. It is a net oil exporter and the world’s largest LNG exporter. It produces large quantities of domestic urea. A Gulf shutdown would raise global prices and affect US consumers, but the supply shock would not directly threaten US energy security. The US is best placed of all major economies.

    The reason the US started this war might be becoming more clear.

    Global competition with the US was rising, especially non-dollar markets, so they decided to rule the ashes.

    (presuming the US is actually thinking long-term about this, which isn't guaranteed)
