@steve_hanke @MarioNawfal Probably the first time I fully disagree with a Hanke X post. I would be seriously short oil right now outside of inflation being the driver. From what I am reading the war is over.

I agree with @MarioNawfal.
As I have said since DAY 1: The World is facing a MAJOR OIL SUPPLY DEFICIT and the markets HAVE NOT FULLY PRICED THE SHOCK IN.

OIL SPIKING, STOCKS DOWN SHARPLY. THE MARKETS KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T, AND IT'S NOT GOOD

@steve_hanke @MarioNawfal Hormuz is about to open back up so I think a lot of this is about to be fixed.
English
@steve_hanke @FortuneMagazine Everyone with a brain knows you are right but I think until China steps it up they will keep doing it. America is basically a worn out cesspool of filth and corruption--I see it all over Tallahassee--and the world does not trust China's banking system. 1948 ruined America.
English
My take in @FortuneMagazine:
"Constitutional strictures are needed to eliminate the federal government’s addiction to fiscal irresponsibility. As history has shown, nothing short of a constitutional constraint will firmly bind the hands of Congress."

@Fatcatmeat3 @Hania16836 Good damn point. Hell, Im actully quite wealthy and i have enough damn problems to deal with.
English
@Hania16836 It’s 2026 who gives a shit. If they are happy that is all that matters.
English
@Hania16836 Love it. Whote guy here who has been with a lot of black women. They appreciate money and can get very girly at times. Not like how some people portray them and they look good in bright dresses.

@marqoz @steve_hanke @MarioNawfal He better keep kneeling. The US deserves every bit of this and then some extra. As long as we are allied with Israel, the world's proudest producer of terror, more pain should be on its way. We are not even a sovereign state at this point.
English
@steve_hanke @MarioNawfal USA has 2 months to oil reserve depletion. This is why Trump kneels before Kaiser Xi.
English
@WinnieEatsPoop @steve_hanke I bring up the Gork quote because the establishment knows the pain is coming. People like Prof. Hanke are holding them to the fire. Day after day.
English
@WinnieEatsPoop @steve_hanke I doubt he cares. He is well off and famous and tells the truth. Telling the truth goes a long way in a Zionist-dominted world. Steve and others know just what they àre doing. Even Grok the other day told me "Dr. Hanke is not distinguished and not allowed in certain circles."

Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Pres. Trump's FAILURE in Iran:
“The whole war was based on some failed plan or delusion that a decapitation strike would immediately create a pliant government in Iran. When that failed, the failure of the whole war was exposed.”
English
@MarkH9222812974 @steve_hanke He is a globally celebrated academic like Steve Hanke. How do you conclude he is a con man?
English
Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Trump's demeanor and behavior:
“Trump is a con man... It would be nice if just for once, Trump actually sat down with a counterpart and discussed areas of cooperation, rather than thinking he has to hit someone in the nose first."
English
@steve_hanke @FortuneMagazine Glad to hear David Walker is back out here. Not sure if he is getting recognition because he is collaborating with you but he was a strong voice back in Bush's (the wayward child Bush) term.
English
My take in @FortuneMagazine with David Walker:
"The US deficit just grew by $955 billion in 7 months. It’s time for a constitutional fix to control the budget."

@steve_hanke Iran elected not to fold and fight until the end. The Greater Israel obsession and browning white countries was their fantasy but Bibi pushed too far and now China is about to rain down some terror on their little fantasy. US should be bombing Israel right now if it wants peace.
English
@steve_hanke Yet DJT runs his mouth nonstop while I knew this was true and now you just confirmed it. Steve, I am in a very unique income bracket as just a pure businessman in Tallahassee (North Florida) but I can assure you people in this area are tapped out and barely getting by.
English
Since Dec. 2023, private-sector job gains have come almost ENTIRELY from healthcare and social assistance.
The rest of the economy has lost jobs.
THE US JOB MARKET IS A ONE-SECTOR SHOW.

@steve_hanke @RedactedNews I like how the big boys in Academia/finance--Hanke, Mershmeir, Sachs, ans co.--are in sync and full court pressing Don at every turn he makes. It looks organized but they probably are just naturally flowing and taking him down independently one by one. Tucker needs them on show.
English
My take on @RedactedNews on Trump's lack of power in negotiations with China:
"Tariff man's got problems with tariffs. Tariffs and sanctions are weapons of war. China has a statute ordering Chinese firms to ignore US sanctions. So, Trump is disarmed going into this meeting."
English
@steve_hanke @RedactedNews Dr. Hanke takes a more measured approach here because he matters and I don't and because he probably is just right. I think Xi is about to ragdoll little Don around. He is tired of babysitting him and 2 1/2 more years is a waste of life for him. Xi should Tank SP500, get it over.
English
@steve_hanke Some other economists actually got to this number/s before Dr. Hanke, but yes, it should be in the trillions after Trump gets worked by Israel some more.
English
A senior Pentagon official says that the US war in Iran has cost $29 BILLION so far.
This is another MASSIVE Pentagon cover-up.
When the counting is done, we’ll be talking TRILLIONS of dollars.
English
@steve_hanke Just a way to keep Trump distracted and tied up over there. These Zionists have no shame.
English
ISRAEL'S CEASEFIRES = A SHAMS.
Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health reported that at least 380 Lebanese have been killed since the so-called “truce” which began on April 16.

@Benalla561283 I think ypu get it. Was nice of you to like my posts. I'm a little self-depracating. Also was just trying to let you know you are crushing it with the hat. You look half my age. A lot of losers in your age bracket but also plenty of good guys. Don't settle. I see that too much.
English
@BeachS97220 I like posts because I'm in a good mood, or because some of the comments are reasonable. It doesn't mean I'm crazy. If you don't like young people, don't force yourself to call them cute; it'll feel awkward. Just keep your aloofness. Thank you.🙏
English
A white hat. Sunshine and a good mood. That's all you need.😉
English
@steve_hanke Amd the irony is that China is still getting Iranian oil and America's "allies" in the area are mostly cut off. All by design to get us into a war for Israel. Poorly pieced together but hopefully China will stop it all. They probably will just let the US bleed out in another war.
English
The U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz = The World is facing a MAJOR OIL SUPPLY DEFICIT.
This will turn into a shortage when the storage tanks run dry.
STAY LONG OIL.

BREAKING: The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve released last week >1.22 million barrels a day (~8.6 million for the week). That's the largest ever weekly release, surpassing the peak rate seen in 2022 when President Biden tapped the SPR after Russia invaded Ukraine.
English
@_____CASTORA @steve_hanke Trump is about to have his white trash ass handed to him. Just like Steve has been saying he has virtually no leverage and is going to get mauled in Beijing. He is so arrogant and clueless that he may not underatand it but Xi is tired of babysitting this idiot.
English
@steve_hanke Trump doesn't have the political will to make that work. He's going to be humbled.
English
@PeterSchiff Israel screws up everything. They know this is their last swing and they have the proper stooge in there. I know are a tribe guy but Israel is a terrorist state that does nothing but infest our government.
English
If you think gold, silver, oil, and Treasury yields are high now, they all look like they're about to explode much higher. The same is true for consumer prices in general, as inflation returns with a vengeance. This does not portend 1970s stagflation. It portends something worse.
