@kalashnikov_j@jackprandelli I dont know about those crackpot dictatorships. I know some crackpot "democracies" that are playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.
@aj_geo_analysis Exactly, so getting back to meeting demand is one stage of recovery. Getting to a surplus to rebuild inventories is the next stage. So many hypotheticals in each of these. Its gonna be a long shlog until the market calms and supply is abundant.
@2020Upstream I remember the shouts about how Nixon's price controls proved they don't work as we entered this war/commodity cycle. Then they spend the next three months controlling prices. If price controls are for the market, they are fine, if for consumers they are clearly communist.
@GavMcCracken@NonPCharacter13 So what about those empty tankers setting all over the world, away from Hormuz, are they not seeing? Do you mean the 2-3 days of oil on water still trapped? That's all that's missing - well, that and 1.2 billion barrels plus the world's buffers.
@jasonwhitlock There is a clear difference between the damage from accumulated brain traumas and drug abuse. You are an apologist for those who exploit and profit from the lives and deaths of these talented, athletic men.
Blaming the victim is just shameful.
@PaulSorrentino3 Not a chance. The GOP will be hiding from the oil supply crisis that has been postponed until July/Aug. It's still coming and it's gonna hurt.
@aeberman12 It's because he was sold a false premise on the strength of our air defence stocks and of Irans missile batteries. Hegseth is the idiot who gave the estimates and he should be disgraced for it. A less capable SecDef there never was. All ego, no brains.
@DavidMKeyes They don't have much opposition anymore. We fixed that for them too. What would your price be? You sound like you would sell out for peanuts.
@iky_fwjett People complain about how the poor spend their money. Elites are the worst recipients possible. They hoard it and use a bit to lock the door to upward mobility by buying Congress.
@HealthRanger In 2021 Congress authorized 1.2T for infrastructure mostly reauthorizing old spending. This is what came of it. You are looking at our post upgrade infrastructure rn.
@TOzgokmen You have not been paying attention. The US Navy is OUTGUNNED in the region. Drones erase billion dollar crafts. Artillery reaches from hardened positions. Do you read?
@MarieForRI@JeromeAdamsMD Cannabis smoke doesn't create a contact high either. False premise. Show me a reaction time from second hand exposure study of cannabis, please.
@FirstSquawk Well not " as soon as" the strait opens, as soon as insurance can be underwritten and crews can be deployed. It's gonna take a long minute for all of that. Perhaps months.
@omgsidewalks Neoliberalism is a doctrine of controlling workers lives for the purposes of exploiting them. It governs our corporate lives. Same as work sponsored health care, this is a means of social control to give corporations cheap labor with minimal complaints from the exploited.
@briangobosox It's timing. Deficit continues to accumulate until flows resume, months from now. SPR empty before new oil arrives. Cushing may be dry next week. Force majeure on shorts unless they have barrels laying around. Dissonance it is not.
