SOH is currently open. Just not to countries in combat with Iran. Iraq, Greece, Turkey, Pakistan, and a number of other countries have negotiated transit deals.
Insurance is another matter. Insurance companies are unable to write policies while the US and Israel are dropping bombs.
@QuasarMarkets Which the political and religious leadership has repeatedly said for over 2 decades, punishable by imprisonment or even harsher. And what the US threat assessment has said repeatedly since 2003.
This is like saying, "the Berlin Wall fell".
@krystalball This read a bit lazy and sensationalized. The contract isn't a rfq (buying) it's open market Sources Sought (info). Government loves paying for research.
“They are gonna try and destroy this man.”
Saagar Enjeti says Republicans will come after Joe Kent for resigning and saying Israel got the U.S. into war with Iran for nothing.
“This is the National Director of Counterterrorism, highest security clearance in the entire United States government.”
“I guarantee you they will try to indict him.”
“They’re gonna say he breached his security clearance by sharing information, that he was never a real patriot, that he’s a snake, that he’s an anti-Semite.”
“The full stop of the pro-war machine and the US government are going to try and destroy this man.”
“Just watch and wait.”
“This should be wall-to-wall news.”
“We never even really had high-profile resignations like this under Iraq.”
“And I mean, I think the fact that you have a high-level security official with the top security clearance saying this is Israel’s war, that they manipulated the intelligence… you have to ask seriously about all of the lies that have been told by this White House.”
“And I think second, what did he know to have to resign at this point?”
“He knew no end in sight.”
“And that’s why he decided to do it now.”

AI isn’t coming — it’s already here, and it’s the only future. Growing fast, messy, and mostly outside the policy spotlight (beyond infrastructure). 🌱

@KyleKulinski Here's another way to look at it, going back to 1981. Green is people want dollars, yellow is indifferent, red is people don't want dollars.
@KyleKulinski Dollar has been trending down since '22. We're in the same area as 2018-2020. I'm not getting why the media thinks this is a thing. It's not even really a curiosity point unless it drops below 85/90. Kinda tough at today's prime rate. Index is at 96.
@elonmusk I'd like to propose running an America Party candidate for Gov. of California. Already have a candidate ready to represent the disenfranchised 80%. We're ready to go.
