#Sulfuric acid is how we extract copper. It's how we extract cobalt. Without it, you can't make transformers, EV batteries, or the substrates inside every data center on the planet. One chemical, made from one feedstock, shipped through one #chokepoint. The cascade goes further: Qatar ships 30% of Taiwan's liquefied natural gas through Hormuz.

It took a solid 45min to batter down the #raiders at a #chokepoint within the entrance of the #Corvega assembly plant near Lexington. I had to #level myself up and luckily came across this motor powered bat at #RedRocket. This #melee run has been tricky but has made #Fallout4 fun again!

hilo sobre puntos q controlan la economía mundial
Un #chokepoint es un estrecho marítimo q concentra tráfico entre dos masas de agua. Piénsalo como una autopista de un solo carril en medio del océano. “Quien controla los choke points, controla el flujo del comercio mundial” ¿Qué hace estratégico a un punto?
✓ Alto volumen de tráfico
✓ Sin alternativas viables
✓ Transporta recursos críticos (petróleo, gas)
✓ Los desvíos cuestan millones y añaden semanas
✓ Control territorial de estados ribereños
