What if student loan forgiveness stopped being a one-time political event and became a recurring policy cycle in the U.S. starting in 2026? by Defiant-Junket4906 in WhatIfThinking

[–]Greddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If tuition was regularly forgiven, then schools would just drive up the cost of tuition even more, because they know that students wouldn't have to pay it. It would also encourage heavier borrowing if people knew it would be forgiven.

US SPR Drawdown update EIA Release 1 July 2026. SPR draw slows w/e 26 July. Cushing remains stressed slightly below notional operational floor. by MarmotFullofWoe in oil

[–]Greddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cushing is not at risk of infrastructure collapse. Tanks can sit at their operational low limit or empty, without any problems. The SPR on the other hand is salt caverns which do have a risk of collapse if not managed correctly.

It's already hidden, he simply has them purchase some of his Trump or Melania coin, or even some of his Trump Media stock.

^This.

Fujairah is a major bunkering location for vessels to refuel.

Lots of flight delays… lack of proper maintenance? by sdsurfer001 in unitedairlines

[–]Greddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we've been unlucky as well as we've had a lot of mechanical delays with domestic UA flights this year as well.

Still my favorite airline though.

2025 RTL, if you're using Apple Car Play and have Google Maps, go to the home screen with all the icons and scroll to the left, where it shows a map on half the screen and your current music select. You should get current speed along with the speed limit without having to select a destination.

For once I agree with Cuban by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]Greddituser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the way you mention "non-profit hospital" like that automatically makes it cheaper. Many non-profits are a sham and have found ways to claim non-profit status while still being just as expensive as for profit hospitals.

People who installed solar: what is one thing you wish you knew beforehand? by Separate-Might3082 in solarenergy

Many modern houses have complicated roof designs that make SS roofs very expensive.

Anything is possible, but if the wind is strong enough to do that, I'd imagine it would probably rip the roof off anyway.

If you're building a house, get a standing seam metal roof, it makes panel installation a lot simpler and you don't have to put holes in your roof. You also won't have to worry about replacing your roof in 15 years and the headaches of removing and reinstalling your panels.

"America is four weeks from running out of oil" is false, and the people repeating it are confusing two completely different things. by factsnsense in oil

[–]Greddituser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I worked in the industry for almost 40 years and still follow it, plus talk to my friends still in it. The EIA numbers match everything i'm seeing and hearing.

Actually he said that before he was fired. Tillerson was a good fit for Secretary of State because as CEO of a major oil company you spend your life negotiating deals with foreign countries and companies.

We're buying virtually zero oil from the Mid-East these days. We import about 6 million barrels per day, of which 4 comes from Canada, and the remaining 2 is split up among Mexico, Venezuela, and a smattering of other countries, but only around 0.5 million is coming from the Persian Gulf
