To sum up the issues even if Hormuz opens this month:
- Crews won't sail back in
- Charterers don't want the risk
- Insurers won't cover
- Ships need maintenance (barnacles, parts, oil changes, etc.)
- Gulf logistics are a nightmare right now
No normalization this year IMO

@_MartinKelly_ @calvinfroedge I mean if they charge 70% of cargo and ship replacement price does that really count

@PuckFupett69 When Americans 'travel' they mean driving 19 hrs to the picturesque town of Buttfuck, OH to watch Nascar and take fentanyl. Then the 0.1% of them that have passports come to Europe and yap obnoxiously loudly in restaurants.

When British people “travel” they go to a beach, turn red, then go for pints at the local British pub

@thealepalombo C for sure. You can even SKI in Abruzzo. Kitesurf in Sardinia. Rome is Rome. Southern Tuscany is amazing. It has to be C.

You just won the strangest lottery: 8 weeks in Italy every year, for life, fully paid.
One condition. You pick a single region now and can never set foot in another.
Where are you spending forever?

@GavinBarwell @InstituteGC It's really simple Gavin. There's no meaningful way to foster competition on a train line with a single operator. Cinemas, Food, Airlines etc. - of course you can. Trains, water cannot.
English
Tweets like this illustrate @InstituteGC's point about Labour being in a soft left comfort zone
First, it begs the questions why train tickets and not e.g. cinema tickets?
And second it feeds the idea that there is something wrong with shareholders receiving a dividend
Al Carns@AlistairCarns
⬇️⬇️👍👍 The money you spend on your ticket will now go back into fixing your train. Not a shareholder’s yacht. This is what we were elected to do.

@anasalhajji Vladimir Vize is not a Russian LNG carrier. It is 50/50 owned between Japan's MOL & China's COSCO. Murmansk is an STS location.
English
Anyone tracking this? Why did that Russian LNG carrier suddenly return to Yamal?

@politixintheuk There's such an easy argument he could have made to save himself if he wasn't thick as mince.

Lad (Reform UK’s Mayor for Hull and East Yorkshire) has absolutely no idea what net zero is, even if it’s adding £8 billion each year to his region.

@erajisnot Where do you get off proclaiming that Singapore is an artificial society? Ever lived in Singapore?

@johnkonrad John - it's impossible to do a hit piece on you. You are such a fucking clown these days. Mental deterioration. Nose deep up the anus of the most corrupt people in American history. No hit piece could truly capture how deranged you have become.
English
Never once called out Bezos.
Then his Washington Post ran a hit piece on me.
Now we learn Amazon is likely complicit in circumventing Trump’s tariffs. 🤯
The richest man on earth skimming the till while America drowns in debt?
Not OK.
Name it. Fix it.

@MothershipSG But you can rape a little girl in Singapore and get 15 months.

@Alanchungsg @MothershipSG Disgraceful comment. Police should come knock on your door.

@MothershipSG 15 months jail for the rape of a child?????????????? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

@SJohnsonSport It’s obvious. It’s Enzo. Sell high/inflated. Wants to be out. So get out and extract value.

#CFC fans…if you could pick the first player you’d get rid of this summer, who would you choose? (And if you feel like it, explain why).
English
@MothershipSG Terrible news. I have witnessed some truly awful driving in Singapore by commercial vehicles - trucks and vans in particular. A lot of cyclists do not know how to ride defensively. Or, if they do, they're not riding defensively enough to compensate for the incompetent drivers.

@football_HTJ "In England it's become a customary event for the camera to switch away right before the 🏆 lifts of Asian players"
Utter, complete fucking nonsense.

Question to my foreigner friends in Singapore;
If you were given the opportunity for a Singaporean Citizenship today, at the cost of giving up your original citizenship
Would you do it?

@stanfordNYC "American names"
Wesley Cheeseburger III, Karen Tammy-Lou McFreedom.
OH LET'S GET THESE GUYS FRONT & CENTER DESU NEEEE

Went to a Michelin omakase in Japan. Chefs insisted we sit in the middle seats. We later found out why: every other guest was a young, rich, bored Chinese national barely looking up from a smartphone.
The chefs saw American names and knew we'd actually appreciate and interact.
Matt Bateman@mbateman
Was in Paris a couple months ago for wife’s 40th. We splurged and did a handful of Michelin stars and similar and kept noticing that it was mainly Americans, along with a smattering of other foreigners, eating at them.

@Josh_Slater @JackKennedy @Oscikus The guy landed at midnight and somehow went to Woodlands to cross the border and was also there for Happy Hour.
These Americans are full of shit shysters and should be banned.

@JackKennedy @Oscikus Full of shit for the shock value interactions then

Singapore is one of the craziest places I've ever visited.
Landed at midnight and the roads were filled with pickups packed like clown cars with the working class on their LONG daily commute through customs into Malaysia.
It cost $100,000 to bid on the right to own a car (not the actual car itself).
Happy hour beer price downtown was a single Heineken bottle for $15.

Anthony Bourdain: "Listening to you people makes me want to go join the communist party. You're living off the labor of a repressed underclass."

@JackKennedy @XavLiew You landed at midnight...so wouldn't get to Woodlands checkpoint until 1:30AM earliest. So talking out of your anus.
Btw Happy hour at Kanpai SGD 4 a pint at 4PM, 5 at 5PM etc. on any day.
"one of the craziest places I've ever visited."

My favorite case in business school was about how Blade is essentially an organ delivery service
Austen Allred@Austen
So Blade is pretty awesome: 5 min flight from Manhattan to JFK for $150. But I’m the only person on this helicopter. Surely they’re hemorrhaging money, no?
