@stats_feed Gotta work 10 hours per day

Big news from Australia 🇦🇺 A new study tracked 15 companies that switched to a 4-day work week (100% pay, 80% hours, 100% output). Results? • 14 out of 15 companies decided to keep it permanently • Zero reported a drop in productivity • 6 companies actually saw productivity increase Less burnout, same (or better) output. The 4-day week is no longer just a dream, the data backs it up.

@Keir_Starmer 😂 Dude you embarrassing

I welcome the progress towards an agreement between the US and Iran. We need to see an agreement that brings the conflict to an end and reopens the Strait of Hormuz, with unconditional and unrestricted freedom of navigation. It’s vital that Iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. My government will continue to do everything we can to protect British people from the impact of this conflict. We will work with our international partners to seize this moment and achieve a long-term diplomatic settlement.

@najam_ali Sometimes it takes war to bring people to negotiations table

While the world celebrates the U.S.-Iran understanding, history should remember one thing: This was one of the most pointless and dangerously unnecessary wars of modern times. After all the destruction, the world ended up exactly where it should have started: At the negotiating table.

@NadimKoteich Respectfully push back! The US policy and goal is to have a non-nuclear Iran and without that war will resume

Let’s stop using the word “deal”! The “agreement” is at best, a 60-day ceasefire extension: Iran gets partial economic relief (ransom) in exchange for reopening (hostage freeing) Strait of Hormuz (a problem created by the war itself), while all core issues, nuclear, missiles, proxies, sanctions, remain unsolved. It is all conveniently masked with an MOU to "negotiate" the hard issues over the next 60 days, as if 47 years of confrontation with Iran and two wars simply didn’t try enough! BINGO. The pause, however, might ease oil markets and inflation, contingent on clear success and durability of incremental de-escalation steps. Hail Mary!! Middle East leaders encouragement of Trump, during a group call last night, to take the deal with Iran is less an endorsement of his judgment, and more hedging against his diminished “strategic stamina”. They know by now that he will not sustain what it takes to finish the job, let alone to define what that means in the first place! And, some are quietly pleased that this outcome puts brakes on Netanyahu and Israel's strategic supremacy, even if the price is handing Iran an ambiguous and contested victory. This is not a 1945 Japan/Germany scenario. It is 1953 between South and North Korea. No structural transformation, just a pause that Iran might use better than its adversaries. History is consistent: durable peace follows decisive victory, not managed stalemate. Post-WWII total victory resulted in 80 years of peace among former great powers. No sequel war. WWI ended in armistice, not occupation. Versailles humiliated without defeating. The sequel arrived within 20 years. The pattern holds across cases. Napoleon's clear defeat gave Europe decades of order. The Korean armistice gave us a frozen conflict still technically active today. Vietnam's negotiated withdrawal gave the region chaos. Frozen conflicts, even for short periods, just reset the timer and reward whoever prepares better for round two. Stalemates management feels responsible, but they often just postpone the bill, with compounded interest.

@lincdoug40 @DavidShuster @grok Apparently you don’t have money for grok subscription oops 😬 too bad

@OpenMindIsKing @DavidShuster @grok Grok how crazy it must be for an AI to witness leftist Americans actively root for a tyrannical oppressive Iran in the vain hope it could help a power shift for their party? These human cretins would make Skynet blush

It would also mean Iran keeps its nuclear program and now makes money from the strait of Hormuz. So, not only does the U.S. not meet the primary objective of Trump’s war, but Iran emerges better financially/economically than before war. #Trump

@BarakRavid This sounds more realistic

🚨Both sides would sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that would last 60 days and could be extended by mutual consent 🚨During the 60-day period, the Strait of Hormuz would be open with no tolls and Iran would agree to clear the mines it deployed in the strait to let ships pass freely 🚨In exchange, the U.S. would lift its blockade on Iranian ports and issue some sanctions waivers to allow Iran to sell oil freely

Axios: Trump consulted many Arab and Muslim leaders about the agreement, and they all said they support it.

There is a lot of noise surrounding the potential US/Iran deal. Here’s what the rumors are so far: - Iran has agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Iran currently has 400 kg of highly enriched uranium. Enough for 11 nuclear bombs. - The US would begin a phased unfreezing of Iran’s $6b to $30b in cash. - The Strait of Hormuz will open up. - Iran won’t charge a penny for ships to pass through. No $2m toll fee. - The US agrees to relieve some of the sanctions. - War ENDS on all fronts with Lebanon. - US forces near Iran to withdraw. - 30 to 60 days to finalize the nuclear deal. If true, that’s a massive victory for the President. Here are the winners and losers. Winners: 1. American people. Oil prices will likely fall. Shipping insurance costs drop. Inflation pressure eases. 2. The President 3. Global markets. 4. Stock market. 5. Gulf states. Temporary tension eliminated. I have them as both winners and losers. 6. IRGC gains legitimacy. They’re not Venezuela. Whether anyone likes it or not. Including myself. 7. China is a major winner. The Strait of Hormuz hurt them the most. They can spin this to their people that the deal got done after the President left China. 8. Russia relies on Iran being a bit more stable. 9. NATO nations were starting to worry. They were pansies shivering about having to help the US. (They’re also big losers in my eyes) Losers: 1. Iranian people. No one knows what the IRGC will do after this deal to their own people. Their media outlets will say they beat America. That message will 100% be pushed. The Iranian people will be under even more scrutiny by the IRGC. 2. Obama’s administration. This sounds like a much stronger deal than Obama’s administration made. 3. Netanyahu. He wanted regime change or collapse for his legacy, but Trump wasn’t on the same page at the end. 4. NATO was exposed. They showed they don’t have America’s back if shit were to hit the fan. Terrible moment for them. 5. Reza Pahlavi. Another year of not being able to help his people become free. This point will lead to more memes by the RP loyalists but it’s the truth. 6. Gulf states. The IRGC still controls a neighbor capable of firing rockets at surrounding Gulf nations. 7. Iranian proxies and non state actors. Hezbollah, Houthis, and Shia militias will not receive the same funding flow if sanctions are removed under limitations tied to the agreement. 8. Defense contractors and war hawks. They wanted this thing to continue so they could land massive contracts. I’m sure they’re not happy. 9. Oil producers benefiting from high prices. 10. Political extremists on both sides. Those who wanted to see the President lose (woke right) and those pushing for nuclear war. 11. Democrats. They desperately needed this to continue heading into the midterms. They will HATE this deal. Don’t worry, they’ll still find a way to blame Trump. But independents won’t fall for the BS. Democrats and the woke right will follow suit, but not reasonable independents who can see through the nonsense. I predicted this would be done before June 14th. Lots of people pushed back. Obviously, it’s not done yet, and anything can happen, especially when dealing with Iran, but if the President pulls this off, the news outlets, pundits, and influencers will move on to the next issue after they’re done crying nonstop. The greatest 60 days of positive distractions are around the corner. President Trump’s birthday: June 14th US 250 year anniversary: July 4th World Cup: June 11th to July 19th The world will move on, and the President can focus on driving results toward the midterms, Cuba, affordability and other issues. Love him or hate him, he continues to show how fluid his mind is and that he can change his approach depending on whether things do or don’t go his way. Future Looks Bright.

@AlphEatsCats @AstorAaron Sure….. just know these negotiations aren’t simple…it’s complicated and presidents or leaders just get the high level topics..say yes or no

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron No I don’t think that and it has nothing to do with what I said.

Whenever the details of the deal come out, check for any enforcement mechanism. Because the IRGC won’t believe “I’ll bomb you again!” as a threat from Trump carries any weight after this.

@IBeBibby @AstorAaron Ballistic will be tough but 1 nuclear weapons can wipe out all of Riyadh or Tel Aliv or Dubai…you will need hundreds of thousands of ballistic to do the same

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron Really any deal should include an end to Iran's ballistic missile program and an enforceable ban on funding terror proxies. Remember those justifications for the war? Pepperidge Farms remembers. But AT LEAST we need to get all of the uranium now, or we've surrendered everything

Yeah but the war in Iran isn’t the only reason…or at least not directly…other factors like summer, taxes, refinery constraints ect ect…global energy issues even if you don’t get oil from SOH it affects you indirectly. I think iran not having nuclear weapons is more than worthy, in exchange if paying $2 more in gas

@OpenMindIsKing I live in a state with relatively low gas prices (TN) and people are very upset here about having to pay $4.29 a gallon. That it's not $6.29 like in CA is no consolation. It was $2.49 on February 27.

@IBeBibby @AstorAaron I agree! I think in truth is what this hangs on now! Everything else is noise

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron IF. Any deal that doesn't have Iran giving up all their enriched uranium immediately with severe immediate consequences for refusal is a total failure.

@IBeBibby @AstorAaron Okay, listen, they negotiates, report to trump, give him options, advise - he chooses or reply they go back to Pakistan/Iran and continue the conversation….all of this is likely in line of US policy to Iran as regards to nuclear weapons.

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron And? None of them are going to resume hostilities without Trump's order.

Gas prices varies by state…In Tx, LA, Iowa it’s a full 2-4 dollars cheaper than costal cities… taxes, regulations & others factors plays in gas price than simply the soh.. is it a factor? Somewhat but not as high as you think…if you live in asia where 95% of their oil comes from soh then yes

@OpenMindIsKing Did you ever wonder why US gas prices climbed so high then? Oil is a global commodity. We've exported a lot; and imported a lot. (All kinds of petroleum and petroleum products). We've drawn down a lot from our reserves. US gas prices are not immune to any of this.

Because you think only trump is negotiation…he’s not negotiating…team of FP experts, intelligence, military and economic experts are negotiating US standing positions for decades…Trump just approved or declined high level conclusions…the US long standing position on iran nuclear weapons won’t change regardless who’s in office

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron Sorry, this makes no sense.

@IBeBibby @AstorAaron I am sure the experts that are negotiating this deal…will think enforcement and accountability but i think the nuclear is the major part of the deal if iran agrees to let that go then everything will likely fall in place

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron Remember, Iran ALREADY agreed to a deal that required them to open the Straight or bombing would resume. Those are the terms of the March ceasefire. But they have violated it with impunity and Trump just backtracks each time. Why would they start taking his threats seriously now?

@AstorAaron The strait can’t drive US gas prices because 90% of US gas don’t come from the Persian gulf

@OpenMindIsKing The strait is their blackmail against the world - and drives up US gas prices. Let's see what the document says, but I don't think they're deterred from slow-walking any promise.

@IBeBibby @AstorAaron Get your focus off trump for a second and focus on the US Government policies and goals from Iran…it’s not two people negotiating in a room it’s a team, intelligence Community, Military professionals, FP experts

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron Except the reported deal includes releasing the blockade and easing sanctions immediately, so all that would be left is empty threats after Iran called Trump's bluff 6 times in a row.

@AlphEatsCats @AstorAaron You focus on Trump; there are a team of people, intelligence and military professionals in these negotiations…it’s not two men in the room or in the phone

@OpenMindIsKing @AstorAaron Tump is quite obviously bailing from all that. It didn’t work. How is that enforcement?

I doubt funds will be released all at once…most deals have milestones and give in from both sides…especially when trust is a major issue between the two. Yes, bombing and killing of their leaders, have an impact! The strait is of no use to them now! No ship leaving Iran can exit it… the only thing they can do is bomb their neighbors

@OpenMindIsKing Blockade and funds release happens at the start. They won’t fear another aerial attack again bc they can crush their neighbors and slam the Strait shut again.
