@adamtaggart I just wrote an 8pg paper on this exact topic last week. I wanted to address this crazy rise in socialism among voters.
The problem is most voters think that America is still purely capitalist when it is not. This has lead to capitalism becoming the villain.
@RealRickRule I think we can double and just keep them out of the markets! If they’re truly not coming into the office let’s quadruple it!! Unfortunately still probably not keeping up with the foreign lobbies…
@mrj21@adamtaggart This is what I haven't understood. I have heard a 2M toll would affect oil prices about 1%. This is negligible especially compared to the volatility due to the war.
Why wouldn't the rest of the world just want to pay the toll?
@LukeGromen@Interpreter2026@AndreasSteno No Luke, this is obviously about nuclear weapons!!
Just kidding, but it is shocking the amount of people that believe this.
@tsnorton67@adamtaggart Definitely agree! Taiwan and semiconductors, fertilizer shortages leading ag commodities higher. Supply disruptions seem to be brushed off and the longer this stays closed the worse it will be.
@adamtaggart Adam, great work and love that you advocate for taking care of your physical health!
I am an endurance athlete that struggled with injury before switching to cycling. I couldn’t recommend more! Much lower impact and imo much more fun. Great way to get some cardio!
GOLD FALLS TO UNDER $4500, SET FOR ITS BIGGEST WEEKLY FALL SINCE 1983. - @FirstSquawk
Gold volatility in USD is doing what gold volatility did in 1920s Weimar German Reichsmarks, which makes perfect sense once you understand our present context.

What’s happening in energy is far more than a geopolitical trade — it reflects a structural shift.
For decades, equity markets have funneled capital into businesses that consume resources while systematically starving the industries that produce them.
What makes this dynamic particularly striking is that the physical economy has not shrunk.
If anything, its importance is growing.
The global economy continues to demand more electricity, more copper, more steel, more critical minerals.
Let’s dive into this first. Later, I’ll also share another idea that I find particularly compelling.

@StephenMoore@SteveForbesCEO The problem with housing is prices are still too high based on years of artificially low interest rates. People have a right to complain about that. Current government policy is working against free market forces that would otherwise lower prices, making homes more affordable.
