@annmarie Aside from the price of oil, I thought the US was there to aid the Iranian people?? Now the US plan will destroy their utility infrastructure?

French newspaper Le Parisien: The headquarters of Goldman Sachs in Paris were placed under police surveillance last night following bomb threats believed to be from an Iranian group. The bank was contacted by US authorities advising increased vigilance, according to the French daily. leparisien.fr/paris-75/banqu…

@elerianm @CNBC Who was that speaker last night? In 2024 wasn't the goal: hunker down, fix the USA and fix inflation.

Whipsawed once again: That is the state of the oil market and beyond as investors react to President Trump’s address to the nation regarding the Middle East War. (5-day WTI oil price chart below from CNBC.) #economy #markets #oil #MiddleEastWar @CNBC

@elerianm @CNBC With everything else being renamed in his honor, isn't it time to call this Middle East War: the #TrumpWar ?

@BBCWorld US politicians have been in bed w Meta since start. Facebook is ONSITE during primaries to SUPPLY voter info to pol volunteers to contact. Meta knows EVERYTHING about their users, has it for sale and indispensable to politicians. As for kids, WHAT if users had to PAY monthly?

@yardeni Speculators sold gold to buy oil? I did.

Gold plunged 16% after the war started. It should have surged on inflation fears and geopolitical chaos. 🔒 Members-Only quicktak.es/665g

@unusual_whales UNLIKE Trump, troops landing at Normandy was top secret until FDR's speech AFTER it had started. Imagine telling Hitler a week in advance AND that we had killed his family AND that he had Iran's weaponry. No matter real plan,will Iran: defend/sabotage island? Or seek revenge?

US considering a “final blow,” potentially involving ground troops and large-scale bombing, per Axios

@WBZNightside @GlobeTechLab Meta is following their biz model. They've NEVER cared cuz politicians use FB all the time. You've been in NH for prez primaries: Pol: "we need voters: over 33, w 2 kids, earns $68k and has an old car" Facebook: "here is a list of 196 that match. 97 need a ride" Problem fixed.

@ContentWxGuy @JGodynick @MeteoMark 😳 Someone stole your tree and deck and installed a FENCE? 🤔

Well, @JGodynick & @MeteoMark Stockpiled the Feb 23rd blast a week later. It is just about gone. Considering some of that had previous snow yet also our venture into 40s, 50s, and multiple bouts of heavy rainfall, I'd say it lasted a long time. What a winter. Got our ~6/7yr hit.

@FrankLuntz As far as they are concerned it's "Trump's war" .. he broke it, let him fix it/ pay for it.

Seven U.S. allies announced their support for a potential coalition to re-open the Strait of Hormuz for commercial ships and oil tankers. The statement does not include any commitment to send naval vessels or other resources to make that happen. axios.com/2026/03/19/str…

@tomwarren I bought a Windows 10 PC back then to try it. I know Win 7 isn't their "money making model" but that was the end of MSFT for me. Logging onto MSFT cloud like a dumb terminal to use apps ..nope.

🚨Microsoft has a plan to fix Windows 11 🚨 Lots of changes are coming to improve Windows 11 performance, reliability, and UX. "Unnecessary" Copilot buttons will be removed and Microsoft wants to get rid of the annoying "noise" from Windows. Full details theverge.com/news/897834/mi…

@Sentranet_T0 @KobeissiLetter 🤔 If you had tons of gold in storage, when it went from $900 to $5,000 to $2,000/ ounce: nothing MOVED but you gained/ lost value. It's not that the qty in world changed overnight: just desire to own it.

@KobeissiLetter $1T doesn’t disappear. It moves.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 extends losses to over -2% on the day, erasing -$1.1 trillion in market cap.

@KobeissiLetter Big Tech USED to generate INCOME. What is the point of THIS extra spending.. generating cookies? / ads? ICYMI: businessinsider.com/jensen-huang-5…

Wall Street is becoming increasingly concerned about Big Tech CapEx: 22% of global fund managers now believe companies are deploying too much CapEx, the 2nd-highest on record. Since 2005, the only higher reading was 33% in February 2026. In the prior 20 years of the survey, fund managers had never been concerned about firms overinvesting. By comparison, 70% of participants believed companies were investing too little in 2017. Not even the 2008 Financial Crisis saw such elevated CapEx concerns, when 10% of participants said firms were spending too little. Institutional investors are growing concerned about big tech CapEx.

@BusinessInsider Yesterday I heard that about 50% of loans are in arrears, so the FIRST action for the gift will be.. to go after those folks.

@KobeissiLetter Y2K made money from hardware sales. How do AI sellers make money from you/me? All this inferential AI stuff: sells ads? As someone that never clicks ads I 'don't get' the big picture biz model. If Grok, Gemini answers my question/ explains what I ask, how do THEY make $? Anyone?

.@LizAnnSonders and I are out with our latest: “In this conflict era so far, the U.S. dollar has strengthened, and Treasury yields have also risen…This is the fingerprint of a supply-driven inflation shock rather than a demand-destroying growth shock” schwab.com/learn/story/di…

@NicoPerrino @ChrisMarchese9 If you want to meet your member of Congress, you need.. a govt issued ID.

Meanwhile, politicians want to effectively mandate these services in order for you to use vast swaths of the internet. It’s not only your freedoms that are at risk.
