TX has a mismanaged power grid with no interconnects to load share by choice, how does that apply to the rest of the US? CA’s problems aren’t demand driven. I live in a state that gets almost its entire gasoline supply from a single pipelin

The UK is an oddball now -- VAT-free shopping for non-UK citizens ended in 2021. You can still do it in (most?) EU member states though.

That's not really an option for almost anyone with a mortgage on a home -- the lender will require home insurance with themselves listed as the primary payee. Same with an auto loan for most lenders (Lightspeed being one of the abnor

I haven't seen a particularly great explanation that explains why this is such a positive discovery that is copy/paste/digestable. No MSM outlet is going to run this story unless they can say an impact.
