Some people produce a signal, others produce noise.

All tweets are an opinion. Nothing stated is a recommendation to invest.

@Aesalerte Crazy disinformation

@Veeshalnarote12 @LinQingV @ponyoonthebeach @jukan05 Its not a matter of whining. It violates WTO agreements almost plainly. Samsung is the one that's damaged the most, not an American company.

@TwinTurboCe1ica the benefit of having a committed partner who wants to participate in a project in a more meaningful way. i see this as a clear positive.

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

Your comments are mostly a diversion and incomplete story telling.
1. There isn't any reason to enrich to 60% other than pursue weapons grade.
2. While it may have been a mistake to tear up the JCPOA agreement, it was in fact a terrible deal that flooded Iran's proxies with cash. It did nothing to address Iran's activities.
3. You completely ignore Iran's repeated statements to pursue genocide against Israel -- while enriching uranium towards weapons grade.

I won't respond further to any of your comments as they are just a meandering time waster.

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

The IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog group, independently verified that Iran enriched uranium to 60%.
So no, it was not the same excuse for the last 30 years. It was completely different with independent fact checking, unlike Iraq, and the Iranian Ayatollah openly telling the world Israel must be destroyed.

@Fried_rice I'm sure they are just trying to stimulate buzz for their upcoming IPO.

Iran spends ~30% of its national budget on defense/security. They probably spend ~10% of their entire budget annually on funding proxies: Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.
The US spends ~16% and has security/military obligations that far exceed its local region. If the US spent $600 B (10% of the federal budget) a year funding Israel's military, people would go insane.

@fastfish3 @Jkylebass pretty wacky take

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

@offshoremayor @SheDrills @trend_bullish Makes sense. What I don't get is why they don't blockade any Iranian ships coming out of the Strait. They don't need to take Kharg island, they can just interdict any ships leaving the Strait.

@sidprabhu Nothing worse than an enabler who says, "I tried to warn you," after the fact.

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

@JosephGelman @sentdefender OK. I guess we are randomly combining the local security obligations of US and Israel.
So when is Israel going to have boots on the ground on the US Southern border w/ Mexico to deal with drug cartels, which have been designated foreign terrorist organizations (FTO)?

@CitizenVMachine @GovPritzker Covid funding from federal government + inflation = JB coasting by w/o having to do major financial surgery.

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

@llzwjll @AnnaEconomist 1. he's past the point of no return on the mid-terms. we are way past that point now.
2. he thinks can still win vs. Iran by taking Kharg and the alternative is to walk away with an "L" anyway

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

@AnnaEconomist seems inevitable that they escalate. Rubio just prepping the Europeans for how this will play out.

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

it's really bad. but it's not quite this bad.
i hate to be that crazy guy ranting on the internet about "George Soros", but his funding of DA Kim Foxx, ultimately led to degradation of penalties/fines/enforcement for the kind of craziness you are describing.
she completely rolled back prosecution and enforcement on 'trivial' crimes, and that led to just "anything goes" on the transit system. people smoking marijuana in closed transit cars, crapping on the floor of the train, even near kids. it's crazy really.

[Dirk Donovan @DonovanDirk]

@johnarnold If you think that's bad, spend an hour or two looking at the City of Chicago specifically.

wut ?

@AndrewRangeley They are getting smarter. When new models come out, I would often ask a few nonsensical questions or brain teasers, like the one below. All models used to blow this question, parts of which make no sense. But Gemini and ChatGPT catch it now.

@alz_zyd_ Your math is wrong. About 15% of the Harvard incoming freshman class are foreigners that don't come from US high schools. There for the ratio is more like 1/2700 or 1400 US students to 3.8 million graduating US high schoolers.
