‼️Market pressure on Trump to de-escalate the Iran War is at extreme levels:
The Trump Pain Point Index, or "TACO Index," just hit ~2 standard deviations above the mean for the first time ever.
This index combines inverse S&P 500 returns, 10-year Treasury yields, 30-year mortgage rates, gasoline futures, 1-year CPI swaps, and presidential approval ratings into a single measure of economic and political pain.
Every major spike in the index over the last 15 months has been followed by a policy reversal or pause from the White House.
The 90-day pause on tariffs came after the April 2025 spike, the government shutdown ended after the September spike, the Greenland threat was dropped after the December spike, and most recently, Trump backed down from threats on Iranian energy infrastructure.
The pattern is consistent. When Treasury yields spike too much alongside falling stocks, Trump intervenes.
@altarlover19 No need to be so pessimistic. They have raised salaries in order to cushion the increased pressure citizens will face from rising prices/inflation due to the Israel-Iran war. Inflation has been decelerating steadily (recently increased to 13.7% in feb)
After their genocide in Gaza it’s OK to call them out. They killed over 300.000 children. Believe me when I say it’s OK to call them out. Why are they over-represented in the halls of power and the media. It’s OK to call out their bribery and usury. Call them out.
Start investigating who owns these companies.
What narratives are they promoting? What behaviors are they monitoring? What values do they hold? What causes do they invest in?
Were these companies simply founded to provide a service and make money, or something deeper?
Think.
@NotWoofers To handle large amounts of fluctuating energy production from renewable sources, advanced transformers, transmission lines and towers, substations, and battery energy storage systems are needed to ensure stable frequencies and adapt to changing inputs.
@NotWoofers Not as simple as you think..
solar and wind are by their nature not predictable or steady sources of electricity generation and are always fluctuating in output. Unlike the type of centralized fossil fuel-run power plants the country is trying to replace
#BREAKING 🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡- According to WikiLeaks, as part of a push by the Israeli government to counter the decline in support amongst Americans, Pro-Israeli influencers are being paid up to $7,000 per post to post Pro-Israel content
This was found out due to a filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), where Bridges partners LLC, who is acting on behalf of the Israeli government, had distributed more than $900,000 to recruit and train more than a dozen U.S. influencers who are then expected and paid to post produce and post Pro-Israel Content in coordination with Israel influencers.
The money for these initiatives comes from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, who last year secured a $150 million budget dedicated to foreign influence.
@Kanthan2030 A large number of Americans live in a illusion, a bubble constructed that its occupants mistake isolation for virtue. Cloaked in the language of humanitarianism, they project moral absolutism onto the world, blind to the contradictions & consequences of their own detachment.
Every American President is a war monger.
It’s in the DNA of the “system” that Trump convinced some of you he was going to fight.
Nothing unites the corrupt elites of this country like bombing the Middle East.
Just remember next time you ask:
“Why do they hate us?”
@DNIGabbard Will Americans ever wake up and take arms against their demonic leaders? These people know nothing but pain, diplomacy has never been an option with them..
TIME magazine's new cover featuring Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has sparked a furious reaction online as users point out its striking similarities to previous covers of Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, two West Asian leaders who were later toppled in devastating US-led regime change wars.
All three covers feature faces that have been erased, an unsettling visual cue that has been repeated over the decades.
Israel's US-backed war with Iran appears to be playing out the same pattern, and its goal has always been regime change.
