VP is such a waste position. It just doesn’t have huge responsibilities. Give him homeland security, department of defense, Secretary of State. Or just have him sit on the sideline not tied to any administration growing his brand to be his own when he’s ready to try again.
If you listened to Joe, he didn’t think it should be there either. But he also said it was the best experience of his life.

Fact is Trump is really good at putting on a show.
Full grace to any parent doing their best with their kids.
Almost every online tool today allows for social interaction. I don’t know how they can clearly demarcate social media.
Did he kill anyone else in that time period? If not then whatever decision they made worked.

I said this back March. Regime change has never worked. Now it’s broken and there is no good way to fix it. Trump should fire whoever talked him into this.
It’s a refined product issue more than crude level issue. Refineries in the ME have been damaged/blocked

Well then you should support these high prices because they act as a natural rationing function.


It won’t be rational as local govt have enacted price gouging policies. These will enable runs on stations (eg consider the stupidity that led to runs on toilet paper. ) which will further drive shortages which will lead to more hoarding and panic. Right in the middle of peak summer driving season and Fourth of July holidays. It will be a shite show.
It’s a short term issue but it’s an issue that’s going to carry to midterms when everyone is paying $6-$10 for a gallon.

I’m not saying it should be mandatory and not saying people shouldn’t take vacation. Driving is still way cheaper than other modes of transport. But you rarely see big oil and the IEA agree on inventories. If they’re saying it’s a problem then it’s a problem.
Exxon executives joined other large oil bodies warning of record low inventories

Trump and other leaders should start pushing work from home and other behavior changes to reduce demand until inventories recover. Waiting until the price starts to rise again before responding will show lack of leadership.

Take back Texas? To what? Which state are they wanting Texas to mimic? California? New York?

Most will get knocked out from a hit on the chin from the side. Brain gets jolted and basically shuts down for a brief second.
It’s probably a $20-$60 heater element part. Probably as it’s a rental no one cares to clean out the vent hose.
We are in one of the greatest bull markets in history. When I watch, they readily admit we are due for a pull back but most don’t see that happening for another 2 years. I dont think anyone that’s a long term investors really cares if it happens tomorrow or in 2028

Honestly felt like there were way too many plot holes. Especially the last fight scene
Natural gas prices are probably 1/3 the cost of Europe and Asia. It only reaches the global market via LNG which is significantly higher priced than local market.
