@_The_Prophet__ A whole lot of people have a whole lot of unrealized gains on spacex. If you’re up 100x what do you do when your exit liquidity arrives? Should be entertaining
@signulll Maybe the real misfiring is in overweight people craving more than what is normal because same male charisma that cause gluttony cause excess in other areas you mention. So they are actually reverting to normal circuitry with ozempic and absence of pathological cravings.
As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth.
That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed.
Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly.
And this is where the form below comes in...
In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties.
As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.
The California wealth tax is not on income…
It’s 5% of your net worth.
It’s state seizure of private assets.
This is now on the ballot and likely to pass.
Realize where we are.
There it is!
This is what the entire situation in Iran has always been about, cleaning up Obama’s mess.
Trump is reminding the world that it was the Obama administration who are responsible for Iran’s nuclear program, which they were going to use to start WW3.
The main objective of this entire military operation with Iran, is to neutralize this rogue nuclear threat, AND prove to the world that the Obama administration were responsible. This is why Trump wants the enriched uranium. Not just to get it out of Iran’s hands, but to trace the origins of the uranium.
Trump is preparing to show the world that Obama and the Dems were responsible for giving Iran nuclear weapons, and thus making them all “unlawful enemy combatants” and enemies of the United States.
TREASON!
⚡️The United States is restructuring global energy flows to maximize American leverage over every major trading partner simultaneously.
Not just one country. Everyone:
I honestly thought this map was made up
Hundreds of supertankers, the kind that carry two million barrels each, are currently racing toward the US Gulf Coast from every direction. Atlantic, Indian Ocean, around Africa, the scenic route, the "we were heading to Saudi Arabia but NVM" route.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and everyone panicked. Oil hit $126 a barrel. Gas hit $4 a gallon. Cable news did the thing where they put a red banner on screen and say "CRISIS" in a font that suggests you should be hoarding toilet paper.
And then something happened that nobody in media seems interested in reporting, for obvious reasons. The world just... switched suppliers? Like changing your internet provider except the internet provider is the entire effing global energy economy.
American oil exports are approaching record levels. Gulf Coast refineries are running at 95% capacity. Supertankers that were mid-ocean on their way to the Persian Gulf literally turned around and headed to Texas. That's not a metaphor. Ship tracking data shows them doing U-turns in the Indian Ocean.
Meanwhile China, which was getting 45% of its oil imports through Hormuz and paying basement prices for sanctioned Iranian crude, is now competing with Japan and Europe for the same expensive American barrels. Chinese manufacturers are already raising prices 20% on goods headed to the US.
So to summarize: Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world's emergency gas station and China's cheap energy subsidy evaporated.
This is either the most elaborate coincidence in the history of geopolitics... or someone planned the sequence Venezuela -> Iran -> profits!
I'll let you figure out which one
