This is a toll road in Dallas, Texas
The tolls are run on dynamic pricing. The tolls adjust every 5 minutes based on real-time traffic and congestion data
Private equity firms got $490 million from taxpayers to build these toll lanes and the whole project cost about $2.6 billion
If taxpayers are going to have to pay to drive on toll roads they should not be charged a single cent for their construction
On this date in 1911, nearly 60% of the U.S. was ≥90°F and 15% was ≥100°F. This weekend's heatwave is only unprecedented if you think history began 30 years ago.
I just don't get it. Why would you short oil here? It's fucking in the $70s. How is the gains if it drops -$10 worth the risk that Israel bombs Lebanon, Iran gets pissed, the strait gets closed, negotiations stop, and oil is back over $110.
A lot of risk to make $10.
Oklahoma HC Skip Johnson on being selfless teammates and in life.
“And we're trying to teach them in our culture to be selfless, to pick each other up. I mean, it's really what life's about. You think Jesus Christ was selfless? Absolutely. I mean, we live our life for that because of that reason.”
“So I think that's the biggest difference. Man, if you can teach those young men to be selfless in a selfish world, is really big to me. It's really big to me. When nobody cares who gets the credit, you can do amazing things. It's pretty amazing. And we're a reflection of those guys not caring.” — @CoachJohnsonOU
One day, you'll bury your dad, and that's the day you'll realize you lost the only man who genuinely wanted you to do better than him.
Take care of him if he's alive.
Oil futures look seriously manipulated right now.
Prices are back at pre-war levels even though there’s major infrastructure damage, Hormuz is still closed, and global strategic reserves are sitting at multi-decade lows.
Supply shock incoming.
🚨 Retail oil bears are blindly shorting the Iran peace headline while Cushing inventories scrape the absolute bottom of the tank.
Paper traders are selling the geopolitical de-escalation while offshore drillers hit all-time highs and physical buyers quietly sweep the board.
Good luck running a refinery on a peace treaty $CL_F.
Deiten Lachance: “When [Cord Rager] is on the mound you definitely have a chance to win. No matter who you face, I mean you can put the Yankees in front of me, I don’t mind.”
Skip Johnson: “Easy.”
Question from Kirk Bohls: “Would you beat the Yankees?”
Oklahoma Coach Skip Johnson: “No.”
"It's sickening that if you don't hear what you like, you can just go to your local judge and find the answer that you want. I just don't know where this ends."
