Global Powers Sweat Over Strait of Hormuz While You Figure Out the Tortuga Crossing.

Oh, look at the grown-ups. They’re gathered in Paris and Berlin discussing joint naval missions over the Strait of Hormuz, apparently treating oil prices like a dramatic opera. One major world power is calling a blockade to end on a whim, another is congratulating itself on an 'end to the war,' and someone keeps mentioning an ex-President's advice to everyone. But honestly, the real crisis here is that the road to La Paz is still missing that crucial last chunk of concrete, and the Cerritos waves are calling your name. Ignore the geopolitical drama; just find your shovels and some decent iced coffee.
