Breaking apart OPEC was NOT on my 2026 bingo card! Interesting things to come!
UAE leaving OPEC is a very big deal.
OPEC produces 40% of the oil supply in the world. As a cartel, they dictate production. Meaning, oil prices.
UAE is #3 largest in OPEC. And they have Fujairah pipeline which totally bypasses Hormuz.
By exiting OPEC, the UAE breaks the cartel that is keeping oil prices high, unlocking 1 million extra barrels per day.
@BitcoinMagazine@zerohedge@River So I have a business that uses Square. I looked into this and what they actually do is: allow customers to pay using bitcoin. BUT the business does not get the Bitcoin. We get paid out in fiat! BRUTAL!

Warren Buffett says one law could fix the deficit overnight. Why hasn't Congress passed it?
Warren Buffett made the statement during a CNBC interview when asked how he would fix the national deficit. His answer was simple: pass a law that makes all sitting members of Congress ineligible for re-election any time the deficit exceeds 3 percent of GDP. He said the problem would be solved almost immediately because lawmakers would finally have personal consequences for overspending.
The quote has resurfaced repeatedly over the years, especially as the deficit has continued to grow. As of 2026, the U.S. federal deficit is estimated at over 6 percent of GDP, more than double the threshold Buffett proposed. Under his rule, every current member of Congress would be ineligible to run again.
No version of the proposal has ever been introduced as legislation.

Dear Rita
A Forgotten Soldier’s Story 1940–1944
In January 1941, nineteen-year-old Gunner Robert G. Lumsden of the Royal Canadian Artillery wrote his first letter to a farm girl he had met only once. He began with two simple words:
Dear Rita.
Stationed in England during the height of the Second World War, Bob’s letters crossed an ocean under the shadow of air raids, military censorship, and uncertainty. What followed was an extraordinary wartime correspondence—seventy-five heartfelt letters filled with longing, humour, hope, and dreams of a future beyond the war.
Rita Pinkerton was just sixteen when their exchange began. Across distance and danger, their words became a lifeline. They shared photographs, poems, care packages, private jokes, and plans for marriage. Bob wrote of motorcycle dispatch rides along darkened English roads, of bombing raids and army life, of homesickness and loyalty. Through it all, love deepened—sustained entirely by ink and paper.
But history intervened.
Bob was killed in 1943, his young life cut short before he could return home. Rita kept his letters for the rest of her life. Decades later, they were rediscovered, preserved as a silent testament to a romance interrupted by war.
Dear Rita: A Forgotten Soldier’s Story 1940–1944 is more than a collection of wartime letters. It is a deeply human portrait of youth, sacrifice, devotion, and the enduring power of memory. Through Bob’s own words, readers are transported into the lived experience of a young Canadian soldier and the girl who waited for him.
This is a story for readers who love:
World War II history
True wartime romance
Personal letters and memoir
Canadian military history
Stories of love, loss, and remembrance
Tender, authentic, and profoundly moving, Dear Rita ensures that one forgotten soldier—and one unforgettable love—will never fade from history.
