@SenorPetroleum@trend_bullish Pretty much every work around he mentions is either a temporary measure or will take years to implement. The fact that this is the most critical control of the Straits will ever be again leads me to think that Iran will hold on to the closure for as long as it can.
@EdLatimore@whatifalthist I was born in 1976, I remember stepping over drunk people sleeping on the sidewalk on my way to volleyball camp in the 80s. That vanished in the 90s. We’ve been through progressives ruining society before. It can be fixed. Note: Not a guarantee that it WILL be fixed.
@trend_bullish Over a billion barrels already unproduced, Exxon and Chevron predicting full-on shortages by July, 14 million barrels more vanishing every day, re-escalating hostilities with no end to the conflict in sight, and we’re only at $96. Either I or the market are completely insane.
@WarMonitors Yes, and that was awful. I’m no fan of BLM, I’m saying that attacking the police is awful and doesn’t play well to the people we want on our side. There needs to be a purge of the British police, that is clear, but random acts of violence against them pushes that day back.
@WarMonitors It was awful when it was BLM protesters attacking the cops, it’s awful now. The last two years or so have seen way too many instances of the right copying the worst aspects of the left, and everyone copying the worst aspects of Trump.
@reddit_lies I’ve offered this bet to my leftist friends since Trump was elected: they win if: a) Trump is POTUS or VP on Feb 1, 2029, OR if: they pick three news sources themselves and I can’t find 12 pieces on those sites saying that the 2028 Rep candidate is worse than Trump. No takers.
@JoosyJew@Glinner I haven’t seen any times Cenk has said anything anti-Semitic, I’m not saying he hasn’t, I’m saying I haven’t seen any. I have seen him stand up for free speech even for people he disagrees with vehemently. For someone as on the left as he is, it’s refreshing.
@JonHaidt Are adults immune? I used to read~100 books a year, now I’m probably down to a dozen or two. I can’t sit through an hour long tv show or YouTube video without grabbing for my phone.
@robin_j_brooks So annoying to see replies that insult rather than refute. I disagree with him, but I have to admit he has been closer to the market over the last few months than I have. Is that Trump draining liquidity from longs with his made-up peace deals? Or is Robin right? Time will tell.
@MrGlobal2025@trend_bullish The only thing that I disagree with is that I don’t think it matters if there are refinery outages or hurricanes. We’ll need to get to levels of demand destruction that have never been seen before, regardless.
@roddreher They stand for it because they support it. If a person hasn’t thought it through (at all!) then it’s a very easy sell to say that “hate speech isn’t free speech”.
@RealPeterLinder If this deal falls apart, my stocks are undervalued. If the war permanently ends this afternoon, they’re undervalued. I congratulate you on your call, but I won’t risk missing what I think to be a 50%+ return to try to grab an extra 10%. Even with the slide today I’m up 180% ytd.
@gbrew24@trend_bullish My guess is they’ll open Strait traffic volumes to 60-70% of pre-war levels during negotiations. Enough that no one will want to risk going back to war and a total shutdown, but not so much that the world can get back to surplus production, so oil inventories keep sinking.
