@aakashgupta Truth of the matter is that areas need to be clear cut for grading of roads and building lots. Even when you try and leave trees around the edges of a work area, they often end up dying because the root mat is disturbed or they get blown over in a storm.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@BeenThereCap Wouldn't those Israeli strikes on the oil facilities in Tehran have something to do with it? Not sure how critical the targets were to supply, but it looked terrible.

Last night WTI crude oil hit $119, up 30% since Friday, when nothing material had happened over the weekend. "Nothing" was the problem; every day without deescalation is bad for oil supply. But it's not *that* bad. Now it's $99. 20-30% yo-yo in a $3 trillion-per-year commodity.

@MarketsWithMB What gift your pod gave the world. I listened every week. There will never be another like him.

Where is MB when I need him most?

@gddub The dudes worked out for many years. Pressing 120 lb dumbbells isn’t something you roll out of bed and just “perform” in front of the cameras. Working hard is in his DNA.

@brauhoff @PauloMacro What’s Rick’s comments? Been a minute since I heard the latest.

@PauloMacro Gotta go with Rick rRule on this one

The biggest moment was actually the bob and weave from 32:30-44:00 on Macarthur River actually

@ShayneOnChayne @Ben__Rickert @grok what is SRA?

@Ben__Rickert Before I listened to the testimonies from the many survivors of SRA, I would’ve thought you were nuts…

The real deep state is the Vatican, Rothschild family and Chabad Jews. They use the Freemasons and The Knights of Malta as 'fixers'. The City of London, Wall street and central banks as managers. Below the deep state is the shadow government which is comprised of the politicians and senior bureaucrats. Those are the shadow government people. They're not the deep state. They are the best of the servant class. Most of the world leaders are slaves. You are not eligible to be elevated if you're not compromised by blackmail (i.e Jeffery Epstein's role) They worship the black sun.

@stephen_taylor @grok why are these sites being deleted?

I preserved over 13500 historical sites before the government could delete them. heritageguide.ca

I think that we should protect Canada’s sovereignty even if the government won’t. So I did something about it. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

@scarceassets Great question… I was wondering the same. Don’t know if there anyone on Utwit left or if my feeds just changed.

Getting interested in going much heavier in to #uranium again. Is there anyone left in Utwit?

@BeenThereCap Yes. I don’t see how Carney will turn the country around though. He is certainly more competent, but he still dedicated to the same restrictive policies for real economic development in Canada.

To be fair, Trump is not the only driver, although he is clearly the primary driver. The Liberals replaced their deeply unpopular authoritarian performative-progressive incumbant with a blank-slate obviously-competent technocrat.

This is the single most astounding 2025-YTD chart I know. In less than 3 months, Trump singlehandedly crushed Canada's Conservative Party odds of winning the upcoming national election from 83% to 39%.

@BeenThereCap Yes, after 18 months of leading the polls in super majority territory. This has been very disheartening to watch.

@todouranio @tepuuma Teemu has had some great entries and exists over the past few years. Better than most on twitter in the uranium space. Not sure what you’re talking about bud.

@tepuuma Teemu you are as unreliable as uranium scammer insider and that is a lot of untrustworthy. A genius backwards… but never BEFORE.

I based my strategy to profit from the #uranium cycle on a few key points: - Hard to nail the cycle bottom (but I succeeded!) - Hard to predict the cycle top - Expect multiple 30-70% drawdowns - Two major bull runs with a 70% drop between them before 2030 ...

@BeenThereCap Agree with all that and the global warming excuse is the worst cop out for politicians.

Yes, global warming worsens the risk. But it's going to be worse yet next year, and the year after that. That makes it MORE urgent, not less, for politicians to do what they can to address the risks (#1-5 above). 6/6

90% of the comments about the LA fires are profoundly dumb. In rapid-fire: The fires actually are the fault of politicians, sort-of. But not because they are Democrats. Republicans would have done the same. (More on that below.) 1/6

@chigrl @joshyoung Today Scott Reid on CTV said it’s going to be Monday or Tuesday next week else face a Cacaus mutiny Wednesday. He’s got no where to turn anymore.

@joshyoung Cant come soon enough

There is some good news on the horizon. There is a 96% chance that @JustinTrudeau will be out of office this year.

You wouldn't call your vacuum cleaner "quality" if it didn't suck up dirt. So why would a stock be "quality" if it doesn't go the direction you want it to. "Quality" is a sales word (to sell something that is garbage) that means nothing to a real stock trader.

@ElsiesWoke Its hard to supplant the incumbent. Threads couldn't do it, Bluesky will not either.

I checked out BluSky using a browser. It’s extremely lame. Many of formerly large NB Twitter accounts are over there getting zero engagement. Guys that used to get 5000 views on a tweet are getting 2 likes and a single comment. They will either come back here or leave altogether

@monctonSJlawyer Are they able to just pass the leadership over like that without at race?

They have to have majority sign, although they have no ability as a caucus to get him to resign as leader. The House will delay sitting again as long as possible to get as close to “no leadership race possible” before he hands it over to one of the cronies.

@PeterLBrandt So, where are we now?
