@BfloFanatics Agree with Pete 100% and I was 8 years old when Simpson came to Buffalo and became a hometown hero. His life has been forever altered and the wall should reflect that.
@peterbakernyt@AlexWitt Could not agree more. Worked with Alex for decades. As gracious as she was brilliant! It’s been my pleasure to have had the opportunity to sit beside her!
@atrupar Yes, using the FBI, CIA, DoJ and senior White House officials to commit and cover up crimes, money laundering and perjury is one big nothing burger.
@StockSavvyShay@FuturumEquities Take-or-pay commitments were blown to bits in the 1980s natural gas market when prices plunged. It wasn't pretty for pipelines or producers.
@munster_gene I think tech prices, given the cost of living overall, (even ex-oil) are about to become elastic. People are making hard choices. Average age of a car is 13 years. Credit card, mortgage & student loan delinquencies at records. They may wait on that computer or phone a bit longer.
@SenSanders His input prices, Senator, are skyrocketing. The very same phenomenon that's driving Micron shares higher, surging prices for computer chips amid a massive shortage, is affecting makers of technology goods and AI hyperscalers. Start with the cause, not with the effect, please.
@munster_gene Gene, are these long-term contracts like the “take-or-pay” deals in the 1980s natural gas pipeline market? When prices fell, the deals left a lot of providers holding the bag.
If every company in the AI space makes sure that all the necessary components for AI to work remain in short supply, the stocks will keep going up as prices for scarce chips and power surge. The alternative ... shortage turns to glut and then ... well ...
