@neoavatara If Iran ends up with some control over Hormuz, this would be substantially worse. Also, even with the Obama deal, the potential for U.S. military action was always there. Now? Hard to believe the U.S. would go after Iran in the future, esp. with Gulf allies soured.

America is like an old school D&D character where one or two amazing ability scores cover for poor scores elsewhere - like infrastructure/housing, education, torts. We could be god-tier if we just brought some of those scores up to average. 2/2

COLUMN: Wall Street is full of hope, leaning on a tweaked version of Stein’s Law: “The Strait of Hormuz cannot be closed forever because it will cause too much economic damage. Therefore, it will reopen.” But what if it didn’t reopen? @Opinion bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@the_munkie Elizabeth Warren portrays herself - and is often portrayed - as an intellectual with high-level policy thinking in a grubby political world. So it's especially important to point out her nonsense.

@IBD_ECarson I’ll end by saying that I think you are one of the truly good guys, so this is not a knock on you. There’s room in a healthy democracy to debate these issues. But in today’s environment if you are going to sling arrows, EW should not be your first target.

@scottlincicome I wonder how much of the expensive watch decline is simply a decline in "dumb" watches period. Who really needs a watch (even a fancy one) just to tell the time when you're carrying around a smartphone? Much like print newspaper readers, watch-wearing generations are aging out.

@StatisticUrban Even in China, food-delivery firms are losing a lot of money keeping prices low in a brutal fight for market share. Ofc., China labor costs aren't as cheap as they once were, but stilll.

If it can be automated, sure, that'll be a different thing. But if it's a human and the delivery is cheap, that's a very low wage job!

It's very frustrating that people see widespread cheap food delivery, a la China, as a sign of prosperity. It's the opposite! Rich countries don’t have millions of people willing to spend their time bringing you lunch for basically nothing!

@scottlincicome Nice to know that these corporate giants see tariff refunds as a better deal than Trump's vague crony capitalism comment/threat.

"Trump said he’d ‘remember’ companies that didn’t apply for tariff refunds. Many of them are anyway" cnbc.com/2026/05/22/tru… "Among the major U.S. corporations that have tried to get the money they paid in duties back are Walmart, Apple, Nike, Home Depot, General Motors, FedEx and Costco"

one thing that seems to unite center-left and center-right people on here — humble bragging about their kids’ esoteric intellectual interests. “any tips for if your 6 yr old is getting really into byzantine succession crises? 😅” yah we get it

A trolley is about to hit 5 people laying on the track You can redirect the car, but the other track has not yet reached regulatory approval or completed its 1 year environmental testing period, so operating a train car on it is a violation of transit regulations What do you do?

@neoavatara Nuking the filibuster 6 months before likely losing at least partial control of Congress is like being a mile or two away during 50s-era nuclear tests. It's not going to end well for you...
