these are export terminals.. which are used by the industry to sell the product for more profit than they can get selling it domestically. it also eliminates the ocean-crossing trips made by those pollution-spouting tankers to deliver the product overseas.
the sad bit is, wireline internet providers could sell $30 per month high-speed internet and still make money at that lower rate and without subsidies.

i remember getting my first one. it was an amazing time. played a lot of games back then. not so much now. i just can't keep up with the upgrades, so i just play older ones every now and then.
a modern equivalent would be moving from an old pc with hdd to a new one with nvme ssd.
if you have to work all three shifts every three weeks, you can't realistically hold-down a second job or attend regular classes, you're exclusively at the disposal of your masters.
by that reasoning, the u.s. should be kicked off the un security council (or worse) for not being current on dues to that organization; as would russia and prc.
the diaperstain didn't do a fucking thing. that legislation unanimously passed through the house and senate. taylor probably told him to take a hike when invited to the bill signing.

tuition will probably increase significantly as schools have to cover loans themselves instead of the federal government, funds for loans will be limited and current credit worthiness becomes a key factor of whether you are able to attend. both of which will put higher education out-of-reach of more people--eventually producing a less-educated workforce, willing to work for scraps. republican goals
if the feds aren't backing the loans, the president or congress can't alter terms of those loans, such as pausing payment requirements, or using federal funds to reduce or eliminate the loan balances, etc. republican goals
states will have to pick up the slack by increasing funding to their state schools or offer their own student loan program, both of which will cost them money--significant money. this will reduce funds available for other social/public programs or require increases to state taxes. it will burden 'blue' states (the ones most likely to do these things) far more than the 'red' ones. republican goals
i've supported end users in homes and small business for over twenty years. yup. for the most part, they're dumb as bricks. they can do the things they've learned through repetition or have been taught to them (often repeatedly), but stray off that well-worn path and they're completely clueless. when i ask them to look at the icons next to the clock on their desktop--a full half don't even know where the clock is on the screen, even though it's there, like, all the time. and if i gave each of them a blank pc and a bootable usb with (any) os installer, i'd guess that maybe 1 out of 50 could get it booted up and installed--and that'd only be if the pc auto-booted to that usb and started the installer after seeing no boot files on the internal storage.
In a follow-up post a day after his initial Tweet, Johnie noted “inaccuracy in the ASUS router tool,” with regard to Apple iMessage data use. Other LG smart washing machine users showed device data use from their router UIs. It turns out that these appliances more typically use less than 1MB per day.
the writer knew that the stats were bunk, yet wrote the article anyway. the site knew this, too, tacked-on the clickbait headline and published it. toms really has gone to shit the last few years--at least under the current ownership (last changed hands 2018).
