new highs for front-month gasoline futures today and we are getting very close to $1/gallon.
Elections and consequences.

I am always perplexed by 1) what the crypto industry SAYS about its desire for legitimacy and then 2) what it DOES in direct contradiction to that:
"WSJ reported that crypto exchange shut down internal investigation into transactions funding terror groups..."

“Every single thing he says may, at any given time, be taken as an official hard-line policy of the US government, the opening gambit to a long flexible negotiation, or a random pronouncement that will be never be mentioned again."
The Nova suburbs regularly see thriving businesses close in mixed-use shopping strips. Landlords get greedy and jack the rents, so the businesses move or close.
Then sometimes that storefront sits empty for a year or more. often a national chain moves in.
Actions and consequences.
Germany had an awesome chemical industry too.
What causes prostate cancer?
Men getting older.
How can I avoid that?
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
History always repeats in the Middle East. "Yeah, just kill 'em all, we can live in peace." 5000+ years.
Lebanon says more than 680 people have been killed in the country in the past week...appealed to U.S. and European leaders to intervene even offering to engage in once-taboo talks with Israel.
that diplomacy is fragile — perhaps even pointless — in a world in which the United States is willing to use military force to achieve its goals.”

Washington Post: “Trump’s decision to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while Iran was in active negotiations with the president’s envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner has reinforced a growing sense among hard-liners in Moscow

You spend $100, they make money!
President Trump on Truth Social: “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.”
I wonder how much it costs to fill up a Ford F150 these days.....
Looks like $100 or more once gas is over $4.

“Even by Trump’s high standards, last night’s speech in Kentucky was a rambler, comfortably breaking the hour mark including digressions on Jake Paul’s broken jaw, an imaginary wind-powered TV set, and a riff on how hard it can be for presidents to walk down aircraft steps.”
Idiots and amateurs
Chris Wright, the U.S. energy secretary, said it was “quite likely the case” that the U.S. Navy could begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz by the end of the month.
Said Wright: “It’ll happen relatively soon, but it cant happen now. We’re simply not ready.”
Let's see.....they're ignorant, hateful, dumbshit fucking rednecks who have never believed in the ideals underpinning America despite all their 4th-grade flag waving and slogan screaming?
I think it has something to do with that.
I grew up around those people and got the fuck out.
Affordability?
ROLFMAO - FAFO
Trump told Speaker Johnson in a private conversation this week that “no one gives a shit about housing,” Punchbowl News reports.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Trump has signalled some ambivalence on addressing America’s housing crisis.
The Jetsons had something like that 50+ years ago.
Tells you lots about the people who make up and follow that movement, what they have really wanted in America all along.
If his agenda really could be implemented, 40-50% of America would be overjoyed.
Fuck the 21st century. Fuck laws and due process.
Just give 'em what they want.
Pogo problem.

“The research concluded that chatbots had become an ‘accelerant for harm’”.
Fact that no one can remember what the point of the Iran campaign is does not constitute an obstacle to its success, White House officials insist.
Half of the voters thought this was cool and tough and what the country needed.
Pogo problem. Voter problem.
NONE of this was a secret.
The funniest thing about the Trump admin is how all of the "eff your feelings" and "cry harder lib" alpha males turn out to be the whiniest saddest snowflakes, unable to handle a negative picture and walking about in ill-fitting shoes to not upset Trump.

Easy - always have a Goodwill bag. Buy a new clothing item, an old one goes in there. Finish a book you don't need to keep, in the bag. Dishes and gizmos in the kitchen you don't use and are just in the way, in the bag. And so on.
When a bag or two gets full, go drop it off. Rinse and repeat.
Good thing trucks that transport millions of products every day in the US don’t use diesel so we don’t have to worry about inflation getting worse.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Trump only puts the finest people in the most senior positions of the government.
