I hope no one needs an MRI this year. The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half. No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).

@Facts_R_Good @SolidEvidence Then the supply of helium needs to become more diverse. Big deal, Iran will no longer be ruled by Islamic extremists. Deal with it.

@KCLeach1 @SolidEvidence The point is that the global supply of helium has been cut by 40%, so it’s going to adversely affect MRIs as well as industries that rely on it.

One of the weirdest things about being an adult is having a favorite stove top burner. No one ever talks about it, but you know you have one…

@AdamSchiff Senator, you seem to be suffering from an acute cranial-rectal inversion problem, in addition to a severe form of myopia. Seek help immediately.

Paying $5/gallon for gas to drive to an airport where you'll wait 4 hours to get monitored by untrained ICE agents as thousands of American troops prepare to deploy to the Middle East to fight a needless war. Another day in Donald Trump's America.

Tell me like I'm 5, why people think a guy who inherited $400m from his dad and proceeded to bankrupt himself 6x, can run a financially sound US economy?

Starbucks is a bank. Apple is a luxury brand. Google is an ad agency. Amazon is a data company. Red Bull is a media company. McDonald's is a real estate company. Facebook is a surveillance company.

Our government, for whatever reason, is not talking to us about obvious threats, so let me say this to you directly: Our enemies plan to attack us on our own soil. Each of us must be prepared for very bad outcomes. May God protect America once again.

How hopeful are you that humanity will ever reach a point where large-scale violence is as socially and morally unthinkable as practices we now regard as barbaric?

@HarmlessYardDog U.S. produces 22 million bpd and uses 20 million. We're a net exporter, last I heard.

It’s not enough on its own to provide the 2.2 million barrels per day we need to import, but it helps significantly.

@TheMindScourge When the Strait of Hormuz is officially open, it'll be under U.S control. I suspect this will happen relatively soon.

The Mind Scourge@TheMindScourge·
Hormuz is a weapon that can only be fired once No one should expect a quick resolution to the current crisis, but across the next decade, even the next 3-5 years, the choke point of Hormuz will be massively substituted for The Gulf Arab states are all very rich, with high per capita GDP - the best single measure of relative state capacity - easy access to global markets, especially financial, and have the favorable backing of the US Everyone has known about the Hormuz vulnerability for decades. The Iranians have continually hinted around closing it, but never did. Now they have, but Hormuz is a gun that cannot be reloaded. Deterrents work only up to the point of use. Once used, they have failed. The purpose of a deterrent is to *not* be used Many analysts have made this basic mistake. They think that Iran is now in a position of strength, having exercised its Hormuz option. But the opposite is true. A state is weakest after it has used its deterrent. The cost of that deterrence is now priced in. The worst having been done, the targets of the deterrent are now free to make other arrangements. Before, they were reluctant to do so because of the switching costs. Now, they have no choice; they will not allow themselves to be controlled in this way again Hormuz may never reopen. But the importance of this is a depreciating asset.

@BobGolen Most of the Iranian people and the rest of the world are fine with the U.S. toppling the regime. The only people opposing it are U.S. Democrats and other Islamic regimes far as I can tell.
