GROK HOW ABOUT SOME TRUTH;
Here's a concise, ready-to-post summary for X. It focuses on the core truth without spin:
---
**Oil Market Reality Check** (not the headlines):
Futures Brent sits ~$108-109. But **Dated Brent physical spot** has spiked to **$141+** — real barrels for immediate delivery, screaming acute supply crunch from the Hormuz disruption.
This gap isn't random: Futures = trader bets & sentiment. **Spot = actual supply/demand pain** hitting economies as a massive tax on growth.
That's why the UK flipped fast — after saying "not our fight" — to lead a 40-nation coalition with military planning this week for escorts/demining. High physical prices force policy.
It also quietly boosts **WTI demand**, pulling US companies back to Venezuela under licensing deals to rebuild infrastructure and ramp output. Pragmatic stabilization under the post-Maduro successor via business, not old-style regime change.
Media hammering soft futures numbers while downplaying this basic macro 101 hides the forcing function linking economics to strategy. Result? Eroded trust, deeper division.
Truth-seeking starts with seeing the real price signal. Supply & demand still rule — pride and narratives don't.
What basic reality are we missing in the headlines? Thoughts?
@DanielLDavis1@Banksy131 Isn’t that what all of Corporate America does when they continually promote Lawyers & Accounts to run technical corporations?
So when Bill Gates was buying up farm land to become the single largest farm land owner where were you, where were your crocodile tears then?
When Saudi Arabia was buying irrigated land to grow alfalfa to ship over seas with no sale of the product for taxes or infrastructure improvement where were you?
@Bill43111 Prices have actually gone down since hitting highs around $120 to $90 range.
Which is less than $140 during the gulf war, which was pre Biden inflation. So today’s price of the $140 would have been even higher.
Bill!
@ClaytonTuckerTX So technology advancement should stop because of a “if”?
What if you are wrong?
What if the bad builds are absorbed by the good?
What if we come out with a stronger electrical grid?
What if we advance our water distribution infrastructure?
Can you not read! There is no excuse for anyone in government it is illegal for all.
Where have you been with your criticism for the last 18 years? Pelosi as Speaker stating she seen no problem, now Johnson says Congress needs to trade because they can’t live on their salary, but can’t play by the rules either. You are not disguising your TDS.
@ShubertSomer@MikeLevin So it is alright for Congress to buy and sell on insider information? Anyone who is a lawmaker shouldn’t be allowed to do this. It is Congress that has set this ridiculous precedence. Anyone that wants to only point out Trump after years of Congress corruption is foolish.
@clearbread@MikeLevin No one is not worse than the other. Corruption in government should not be tolerated. What we see on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg. If you are against government corruption then stand against all of it. Stop the 🐮💩 of it’s only wrong if Trump does it.
@AzPetrich If you are willing to be a criminal for the sake of your child, you are still a criminal to society!
Laws protect society from individuals not to protect individuals from society!
@GroverNorquist That is only true of the original leaders that understood their goods & services were for societies benefit. But then rise up those yes men that only answer to the God of WallStreet.
It is then things begin to go to 💩
