@tensorproducer @gbrew24 Pipes are easy to repair. Pump stations and the wells producing the crude are what is more expensive and time consuming to repair but these are relatively smaller and easier to defend. The the capacity increase is going to take a while but once there you can bypass the Hormuz.

@JayLoh78 @gbrew24 At this moment I see more evidence of pipelines being dismantled with drones than I do of pipelines being built. If the war would stop, new pipelines would be built, with drone nets etc. But if the war can't end yet, the new pipelines will be delayed, and existing ones damaged.

Hormuz is still closed and as long as that is the case, Brent front month can't really live below $100, product prices will continue to climb ($5 gas in the US by May), shortages will keep popping up, demand destruction will proceed, economic activity will take a hit. Doesn't matter who is shooting and who isn't.

@tensorproducer @gbrew24 It will also accelerate pipelines being built or capacity expanded on existing pipelines from SA, Iraq, UAE etc to bypass the gulf completely to the UAE East Coast, Red Sea, Jordan, Turkey and possibly even Syria.

@JayLoh78 @gbrew24 It's a terrible deal. I think the Gulf states would fight. They would have to. But that means you can't stop war in the Gulf by just letting Iran control the Straits. If America quits fighting, the Saudis and the Gulf States may end up in their own war with Iran very quickly.

@MacroMicroNMike @CowboysIn4 @Thiss_Youu @ClayTravis Explain why so many other OECD had even worse inflation then the US then? Are you arguing that Biden was the sole cause of inflation worldwide in Europe, Australia, Asia etc?

@CowboysIn4 @Thiss_Youu @ClayTravis Wrong, it was caused by Biden’s anti-energy policies, budget deficit spending, and the war he created with a coup and expansions of nato that were historically agreed to not occur post-Berlin wall falling.

Yesterday many “experts” told you we were headed for nuclear war & spent the entire day losing their minds. Today the Dow opens up 1300+ points, S&P rises nearly 3%, & oil has dropped $20 a barrel. As always, it pays to be rational. Congrats to those who didn’t lose their minds.

@tensorproducer @gbrew24 Seems like a pretty crappy deal for the GCC. Why would they accept it? On that note would the buyers of the Oil & Gas accept it as well. Seems like a crap deal for everyone that will result full scale war against Iran being revived.

@gbrew24 They should be able to collect almost all of the actual profit from the other producers in fees, because they have a unilateral veto on exports. Just leave the Gulf states with enough money to make it worth their while to keep producing. But collect most of the profit themselves.

@BMarchetich All Hezbollah has to do is not launch missiles into Israel which is clearly against Lebanon's national interest unfortunately they can't do that as they are a vessel of Iran so here we are in a full fledged conflict.

...insisting Israel be allowed to indefinitely destroy & occupy Lebanon for some reason becomes an increasingly isolated one: Washington bizarrely clinging to a globally reviled war criminal who just lied the US president himself into a war.

Both France's Macron and Spain's Sanchez saying Lebanon must be part of the ceasefire agreement, while Turkey harshly criticized Israel for its bombing there. That's 3 major US allies effectively siding with Iran on this question. Not surprising if the Trump/Vance position of...

@BrazzyBraz @WarMonitor3 Israel has nukes. I don't think they're getting destroyed anytime soon. In the worst-case scenario Israel will simply nuke Tehran before they can destroy Israel.

@WarMonitor3 If Iran hadn't, Israel would. A cease fire won't last a day between them. Iran wants us out so they can destroy Israel, and Israel wants us in, so they can destroy Iran. This is the opportunity they've both wanted for decades. Israel will continue trying to drag us back in.

Has Iran just broken the ceasefire after less than 10 minutes?

@coaltracker @KellyAlspals @JKempEnergy I guess that's how Norway ended up with a sovereign wealth fund worth nearly A$3 trillion by not taxing their resources?

@KellyAlspals @JKempEnergy If you want less of something, tax it.

AUSTRALIA’s coal export prices have risen by around 25-30% compared with the start of the year. Front-month Newcastle coal futures have averaged $137 per tonne so far in April up from $108 in January. Electricity generators across South and East Asia are likely to increase coal-fired generation to conserve scarce gas supplies following the loss of LNG from the Middle East. But China and India (the region’s top two coal generators) are expected to meet some of the extra fuel from domestic mines which explains the relatively small increase in coal prices so far:

@xomoc @ianmiles The guy your replying to is Malaysian though and doesn't even live in the US so what do you mean by "your military"?

@JayLoh78 @ianmiles That’s right the Malaysian military that is currently conducting force reducing operations in Iran.

@xomoc @ianmiles The Malaysian military?

@ianmiles Great idea just make sure the user fees reflect the cost of keeping the passage safe. Though I am pretty sure your military doesn’t want the role of toll road operator.

@PoetGooner @haravayin_hogh Parts of the right are very repressed. When Turning Point comes to town for an event Grindr gets overloaded. More recently see Kristi Noem, one of the most conservative figures in the Trump admins husband who likes cross-dressing with huge fake tits and talking to Onlyfans girls.

@haravayin_hogh Apparently not, cos I thought legal weed was like a hipster thing and ladyboys doesn't sound very conservative 😅

Unironically the degradation of Bali is probably slowed by the fact its mass-marketing is aimed chiefly to Libtards (yoga, nature, organic food, sarongs, temples, legal mushrooms), whilst Thailand more caters to Rightoids (gun-ranges, boxing, bodybuilding, ladyboys, legal weed).

@B1TuckerCarlson @NetworkDirecto1 You must be a Comedian. Nearly every single Apple iPhone shipped to the US up and until 2025 was made in China. iPhone are widely considered one of the best quality and most reliable mobile phones with high resell value on the market and have 55% marketshare in the US alone..

@NetworkDirecto1 I’ve always been unimpressed, have you ever bought something made in china?

If Japan is a high trust society then why do they need women only trains? Why don’t Japanese women feel safe around Japanese men?

@B1TuckerCarlson @alex_de_tampa Why would an American law apply in Japan? It's mostly legal to pass out on the street in Japan as long as you're not causing trouble to others. It's like saying I saw a 20yo in a nightclub in Japan and trying to use that as a gotcha because you have to be 21yo in the US..

@alex_de_tampa Being passed out drunk in the street is a crime in America. Are you helping or hurting your case?

@CraigSquid @seventensuited @boringcompany @fblasvegas Also possible we came out on the other side of the LVCC which would be closer to the airport. It was cheap though at $12. Taxi will run you from $25-30 and Uber maybe slightly less than that depending on surge charging.

@CraigSquid @seventensuited @boringcompany @fblasvegas I can't recall where we came out but it wasn't very long in the tunnel section maybe 5 mins and then the rest of the trip was on surface streets.

Checked out the new Vegas Loop Station at Fontainebleau yesterday. It’s pretty easy to find with all of the signage throughout the property. You’ll find it down in the South Rideshare area on Level V1. All rides to and from Fontainebleau are complimentary for guests of the hotel. Rides from Fontainebleau to any of the LVCVA passenger stations are complimentary for all. Current Vegas Loop pricing: Single Ride: $4.75 Round Trip: $7 Day Pass: $12.50

@JC47053522 @van00sa Yep Australia ranks about 31st in Global oil production Vast majority produced by the top 10. What did we expect some pretty girl on Twitter madly promoting sports betting (currently ruining Australia's youth) was also going to be a global expert on Oil & Gas?

@van00sa You are dreaming ! Australia is not even in the top 10 exporters . Half of the oil we do produce is not viable to be refined in Australia .

Japan holds over 200 days of oil reserves. Australia holds less than 30. Japan is an island nation with no oil. Australia is one of the world’s largest exporters. Guess which one is running out?

@CraigSquid @seventensuited @boringcompany @fblasvegas I took the Tesla Loop to the airport from Resorts World two weeks ago is currently done on surface streets. The tunnel to the airport isn't quite finished yet but the driver said it was very close maybe opening sometime during Q2.

@seventensuited @boringcompany @fblasvegas Is this a real station with a tube entrance? The Vegas Loop maps seems to suggest it’s just a surface detour from the Riveria or Westgate stations. And a trip to the airport would be entirely on surface streets.

@CBullRun13 @bigjeffm @jasonbeahm @JacobsVegasLife Pretty sure there are other taxes and fees which are generally hidden in the hotel price. Like the fee to fund the construction of Allegiant Stadium plus other room occupancy taxes etc. 3rd party booking sites can't charge a cut for these only the hotel actual room cost.

@JayLoh78 @bigjeffm @jasonbeahm @JacobsVegasLife Like 15% of the resort fee goes to Clark County. Also a live event tax fee for tix that the LV Stadium Authority collects to recoup bonds. Could be mistaken, but I think CC basically indirectly forces an increase in resort fee when new venues open to increase tax revenues.

Why Las Vegas is Better Than Los Angeles 1⃣ Less Traffic 2⃣ Cheaper Cost of Living 3⃣ More Entertainment Options 4⃣ Better Mexican Food

@CBullRun13 @bigjeffm @jasonbeahm @JacobsVegasLife AFAIK resort fees were partially a response to the rise of online hotel booking sites - e.g. Expedia/Trip/Booking/Agoda/Hotels. com. They help the hotels keep more of their revenue rather then having to share a 20-30% cut with 3rd parties. Annoying but you can see some logic..

@bigjeffm @JayLoh78 @jasonbeahm @JacobsVegasLife Its annoying and not gonna stop. The County Commission basically forces an uptick in fees everytime a new casino or venue opens.

@bcg1976 @Melbourne_says To be fair you do have the option of a Hungry Jacks with a 1.8* gmaps rating at the international terminal! It's a amazing that any airport could look at a rating like that and not say to the operator either improve your performance or we'll lease the space out to someone else.

@Melbourne_says International is objectively terrible. Zero options for anything in there if you're not in a lounge (and they're average even by Australian standards). And coming back when they select you for the dog run it's like Bergen-Belsen.

I've seen so many whingers from Sydney an Queensland race to post something bad about Melbourne airport when they land here. Usually just for attention and all. But anyway, here's the clap back. It speaks for itself really. 👏🏼

@bigjeffm @jasonbeahm @JacobsVegasLife I'm pretty sure this post is about being a permanent resident of one or the other city not why one is better to visit than the other.. I would also add there are many hotels in LA they have resort fees as well.

@jasonbeahm @JacobsVegasLife Anyone staying in town at those properties are paying scam resort fees. All those costs get passed on to everybody.
