@SMB_Attorney Florida populations:
Alligators: 1.3 million (found in all 67 counties)
Crocodiles (American Crocodile)
Florida: 1,500–2,000 (primarily in coastal brackish/saltwater areas of South Florida :Everglades, Florida Bay & Keys; they coexist with alligators only here in the U.S.).
@JasonJournoDC Is Alastair Campbell even paying attention? Nat gas is $21/dt. These guys will be burning peat moss fairly soon during the winter. And these are all driven by policy choices that have catalyzed contempt. Yikes.
The debt of gratitude we owe Michael Milken is grossly underrated.
Not enough people know or understand the extent to which Michael Milken is an American hero.
By inventing junk bonds, he revolutionized capitalism, putting inefficiency and corporate complacency in the crosshairs. Armed with only a "highly confident" letter, anyone could be a hunter and anyone could be prey.
Milken's innovation meant that new ideas flourished, and CEOs were forced to adopt an "evolve or die" mentality.
There are now millions of people have jobs because of Michael Milken. America itself is more competitive globally because of him.
And after he got out of jail, he revolutionized how we approach philanthropy and cancer research.
And despite his pardon, he still has a lifetime ban from the SEC (since 1990) for the securities industry. Travesty.
Read these books:
Barbarians At The Gate
Den of Thieves
Predators' Ball
Highly Confident: The Crime and Punishment of Michael Milken
Although probably not Milken-level, @MartinShkreli is banned from pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Total travesty.
Shkreli deserves a pardon ASAP.
He bounced back from a politicized prison sentence and immediately mastered crypto and AI.
MAHA needs his brain more than ever.
@gbrew24 As the Obama/Biden @brhodes@wendyrsherman et al. were played for fools as Iran built significant ballistic, drone, proxy and nuclear capabilities, re-running that playbook is clearly foolhardy. The next few chapters may be different.
@jackprandelli All the current releases structured as swaps sell/buy with backwardation increasing forward injection volumes vs release. All previous releases outright sales without re-purchases.
@JoshYoung Global floating storage in 1q2026 & China's combined cross commodity pivot & use of strategic stocks helped balance crude market & prevent a ballistic backwardation predicted. Refined products lacked that supply overhang & elevated crack spreads across unl, diesel & jet persist.
@marthagimbel@GayBearRes@TheAtlantic If only we could have back the $10trillion wasted in 2021-2022 and funded the existing debt with 10y 20y 30y bonds at record low yields.
