That’s because oil guys want to scream, everything is not ok, this is much worse than you think.

The oil guys are posting like @TheStalwart before a jobs day in 2011.

@EconstratPB Almost wonder if we would all be much better off had the Venezuela operation gone poorly.

Wen oil flow. That’s it.
Everything else like this is worthless gas lighting.

NEW: Trump’s administration is beginning to plan for potential peace talks with Iran, though fighting is expected to continue for a few more weeks. Any deal would likely require reopening the Strait of Hormuz, limiting Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, and ending support for regional groups. Indirect messages are being passed through countries like Egypt and Qatar. Iran is open to talks but wants a ceasefire, guarantees against future attacks, and compensation—demands Trump currently rejects. The U.S. hopes Iran will agree to strict limits, including zero uranium enrichment and reduced missile capabilities, though Iran has rejected similar terms before. Source: Axios

This was the last place in life not asking for tips
tic toc@TicTocTick
Some airports are encouraging passengers to tip the TSA agents — a federal security agency— for food and gas. The tips must be in gift cards of $10 to $20. Agents can’t accept cash. Just when you thought you had seen it all.

@EconstratPB Strategic failure combined with overwhelming military superiority is our modus operandi.

People vote for lower prices and more jobs. That’s it.
They don’t vote for body bags and higher prices.
Will Slaughter@BamaBonds
High gas prices and high mortgage rates undoubtedly going to make the Iran war very popular with the American people.

Ya I’d say that too if the market was slammed daily bc of it

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Senator Murphy shares his thoughts 🛢️
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

@jbulltard1 Time for a new face on those “I did that” gas pump stickers eh

@dollarsanddata NIMBYs want to maintain the past, YIMBYs the future. And a somewhat bizarre notion in NIMBY communities that they’ll always remain preferred places to live. Some will but not hard to imagine many becoming a victim of their own “success”.
English
At this point, it's undeniable that building housing lowers housing prices/rents, right?
What's the NIMBY counter to this?

It's actually never been cheaper to rent in Austin, TX. The Rent/Income ratio across the metro has dropped to 18.3% - the lowest on record (going back at least 20 years). Landlords are aggressively cutting rents at a time when incomes in Austin keep rising. The typical rent is down to $1,565/month. While the median income is up to $100k. Making Austin the cheapest city to rent relative to income.

did oil prices come down in 2008? you're damn right they did !!
English
ahahaha oh they'll come down alright [looks sideways at jobs numbers]
Javier Blas@JavierBlas
Trump on oil prices: “… We figured oil prices would go up, which they will […] They’ll also come down. They’ll come down very fast. And we will have gotten rid of a major, major cancer on the face of the Earth…” The White House seems to be betting now it can end the war quickly enough that the impact of the surge in oil prices doesn’t last enough to hit the economy (and spread into other energy commodities). Let’s see.

The shutdown of Global Entry is just so diabolically clever. Laser targeted at the cosmopolitan classes; almost no overlap with Trump’s base. Perfect, petty genius.
English
and despite this, the US is still the remaining DM priced for cuts in the next year (albeit rapidly less so)
English
It's been pretty dramatic how much cuts have been getting priced out of US since the Iran conflict kicked off. It pretty much immediately cut out the legs from underneath reds and greens.

@jbulltard1 Probably will comp you 3 nights if you are hit by shrapnel.

Nvm. The upper middle class is un-impacted yet again
Nick Maggiulli@dollarsanddata
TSA precheck is now back. Took less than 4 hours. Funny how anything that affects the upper middle class is fixed immediately
English
This is the first time most upper middle class Americans will actually be impacted by the government shutdown.
Guessing the response won’t be good
Kyle Potter@kpottermn
NEW: Both TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs will be shut down by the federal government as of 6am ET Sunday, per the @washingtonpost. DHS says it’s prioritizing the “general traveling population” after funding for agency lapsed in shutdown showdown. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/02…
