We could have had electric transport fueled by wind and solar.
But some shitbags had to make billions, instead.
Cruz was blaming Biden for a reason yesterday
Is it bad that I can’t tell if this is a bit?
Similar to Trump buying up Netflix and WBD assets, I wouldn't be shocked if he and his family bought a bunch of oil and gas stocks before the strikes.

That "being human" and "doing the right thing" element gets lost in this climate, but there are still a few offices who get it and they can move mountains.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

It's funny how that works. My one truly big deal that I helped with was after I left, but I hit a cell phone of a staffer late on a Friday and staffers literally got off the metro to turn around and work it for me.
Our office let a troubled House member take credit for it publicly.
That is incredible. People don't realize the power of making a call like that and finding a staff willing to take it seriously.
Would love the story behind that.
Bush administration was obviously not particularly competent & their actions in the Middle East were calamitous. But in 2007 I worked in the US House & to help a constituent we were able to get a dog evacuated from Iraq.
"Another pull on tightening supply is fertilizer. ... sustained shortages would not just push up farm input costs, but risk cutting crop yields and worsening food insecurity."
seems bad if you produce or eat food!
⚡️Russia earns additional 6 billion euros in fossil fuel revenue as oil prices soar amid US-Iran war, analysis finds.
Ayatollah plans pivot from fundamentalist Islam to affordability, entitlement reform.
You know I can remember a high school global studies teacher pointing out the Strait of Hormuz on a map and explaining why it was so important and how easy it would be to close off and it just astonishes me that my 9th grade teacher put more thought into this shit than our current government.
Very underrated point.
"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."
When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

Hard to believe the biggest fuckups in the history of the world fucked this up
Dear God, even though the Straight of Hormuz is 20 some miles wide, the shipping lanes are only 3 miles wide. bsky.app/profile/sanh...
For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand. www.wsj.com/world/middle...
Oman is evacuating ships from key oil terminal amid Iranian attacks.
I'm beating a dead horse but it's not that there was "no plan," it's that there isn't a military solution period if Iran has been provoked into going big, short of "invade Bandar Abbas"
The plan is
-don't do a war with Iran if you don't have to
-if you do then terminate it as quickly as possible
There's half a dozen things a day you've never seen before, but what I can't get over is starting a war on total lack of political credit.
Good Lord.
It's almost like the conflict isn't almost over
