Stocks and Circuses

Entertainment to pacify the populace, distract, and maintain power. It implies a populace trading civic duty for superficial comfort and immediate satisfaction.

Pipelines and ships still getting attcked nearly every day. Storage levels still low. US production maybe has peaked too?

Added to my medium to smallish crude longs. Bought Sep27 at $76.80. Not the perfect price, but a reasonable price to lock in my summer 2027 energy prices plus some extra speculation. I consider $90 the fair price that future months with gravitate towards...

Iran continues striking ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz

The GCC countries are the only ones still insisting on crossing via the Omani lane - they cannot afford to stop selling all the crude they can

At the current pace, the GCC will not have an oil tanker fleet by mid-2027

Nearly 99% of new food additives tracked since 2000 bypassed formal FDA approval

Instead, they used the GRAS loophole, short for “generally recognized as safe”

Companies can make these safety determinations without notifying the FDA, creating a critical gap in oversight

That means the agency responsible for food safety may not even know what’s being added to your food

@DarioCpx It's 2026. Fraud doesn't exist if you claim to be Republican and give Trump $1M

@BenjiBacker Not true. They just need to sell an acre to individuals for $1, like in the old days... but yes, they will not do that and instead sell it to corporations and rich people for millions

The real takeaway here is this lady is a reminder of how the leader is just puppet of powerful faceless ruling class really pulling the strings and they will always have replacements on the ready to continue the private agenda.

That the rot runs DEEP in this party and system.

@jaketapper Anyone here in the comments: Biden's selfishness and failures are why Trump won in 2024 (Merrick Garland, and running for reelection)

Biden is fair game, because his choices led to Trump's 2024 election. Deal with it.

[Stocks and Circuses @letushead]

@jaketapper Biden is just another narcissist who's incapable of taking personal responsibility for their failures and apologizing for the consequences they caused

@meljomur AOC is more like a bubbly social media influencer than a real leader or strongly principled individual. Her Presidential hopes should be over now.

@YourDailyCentss Proof that CPI is bullshit, because according to CPI, the median family is doing better now than in 1971

[Your Daily Cents @YourDailyCentss]

The median family income in the U.S. has gone from $10K in 1971 to $106k today, an increase of 10x.

However, the median cost of a house has gone from $25K to $445k, an increase of 17x.

And the median cost of a car has gone from $3.6K to $50k, an increase of 14x.

The median cost of college has gone from $2.9k a year to $45k, an increase of 16x.

And the average cost of healthcare per person has gone from $350 to $14.6k, an increase of 42x.

THE AVERAGE PERSON IS WORSE OFF TODAY THAN IN 1971.
