Iran state media called me out by name today and threatened to confiscate my "property" in Iran, while confirming exactly the analysis re approaching oil storage crisis and extraction damage.
As far as the "property" I left behind: memories of waking up before sunrise in elementary and middle school, standing in line for hours for a subsidized bottle of milk. Getting my face slapped in elementary school for having a "western" haircut, or for not remembering the words to anti-American, pro-Khomeini revolutionary songs. No assets. Just pain and suffering. The regime is welcome to confiscate it.
As for the analysis, yes, their own state media now confirms it: the problem isn't tankers leaving, it's empty tankers getting back in to load. Block the empties → storage fills → pressure on wells → costly shut-ins. That's the squeeze. And they know it.
@CGasparino Everyone sane knows tariffs will not bring back manufacturing.
If Trump doesn’t do some kind of a pivot soon, R’s face a crushing defeat in 2026.
The silver lining? Trump’s presidency is then over and his legacy crushed forever.
@elonmusk Elon, WhatsApp is a million times better than X and encrypted end to end. X as an app feels like it stopped in time in 2010. You’re not gonna steal business by slandering @Meta’s superior products. You already tried with Instagram and failed.
@RoKhanna@djrothkopf And you think you get to set the pay or should market dynamics set them?
Why don’t we have government set the pay of everyone? Just start an excel spreadsheet in Congress
