"Even if the Strait reopened tomorrow... the damage is already done."
Most people think supply shocks end when the headlines do. @PatrickEBoyle explains why that's dangerously wrong.
Oil infrastructure isn't a tap you can switch on and off. Refineries, pipelines, LNG systems, and wells can take years to recover once disrupted. By the time consumers feel the full impact, the crisis that caused it may already be out of the news.
"The problems are still in the pipeline."
"The question Washington keeps asking is the wrong one."
Why haven't Iranians overthrown the regime?
According to Richard Miniter: because when they tried, the regime answered with mass killings.
His analysis of the Apache shootdown, Iran's fractured leadership, and the realities behind regime change is worth hearing.

"School was at its BEST... and most people didn't even realise it."
Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath says students who went through school between the late 90s and late 2000s experienced a "golden era" of education, when achievement was rising and learning still had clear structure.
But his bigger point is even more provocative:
"Education isn't there to serve society. It's there to build society."
Why today's schools are struggling, what tech changed, and why learning was never supposed to be fun 24/7.
