Rimu, you really need to chill out a bit.
20% of the world’s oil travels through the straits of Hormuz, and some ships are still being allowed through even. all that will happen is we end up paying more for anything where oil used in the supply chain.
This isn’t the apocalypse, we will still be able to get things.
I don’t think they do a count off when people leave the boat, not that I’ve noticed anyway, and if they did, it would be easy to get wrong.
There was also a person who jumped off the east by West ferry a while back, they were noticed because they were the only passenger.

Yeah, it wouldn’t go down well at all, especially considering public transport just isn’t an option for many people.
I genuinely don’t think Rimu has ever been outside of a city for any length of time, they’re remarkably out of touch with reality.
I’ve seen similar arguments on Lemmy about Internet, people think we can just run fibre everywhere, and don’t understand just how remote some people are.
It could be as simple as the artist couldn’t be arsed adding them.
But the amount of energy you’d get from rooftop solar would be minute compared to what the facility would use, and they may simply decide it’s not worth the hassle.
As usual, concise and to the point writing by the Spinoff.
I actually think we’re more secure now that Marsden pt isn’t operating, rather than relying on just one refinery, that can only refine a fairly narrow type of crude, we can buy our fuel from refineries all over the world, meaning we’re much less vulnerable to localised events.
We also have multiple import terminals, meaning we don’t rely on just one facility to bring fuel into the country.
Our fuel supply is no more fragile than any other country, I think.
Their core principles are making money, just like any corporation.
