After stumbling across a particularly odious AI post bragging about not needing to use their computer's OS anymore, it's time to remind everyone, that this will not lead to Star Trek; Wall-E or Idiocracy is much more likely. Go listen to Seneca: youtube.com/watch?v=ABRN0E…

@HormuzLetter youtube.com/watch?v=UGYKU7… Who remembers this? Such a great show!

NEW: The Pentagon is considering renaming the Iran war "Operation Sledgehammer" if the ceasefire collapses and the war resumes, allowing Trump to argue it restarts the 60-day War Powers clock and requires no congressional authorization, per NBC. The US military presence in the region is now larger than at the start of the war, with an additional carrier strike group and rearmed assets.

@BankerWeimar God, this credentialist bullshit cannot die fast enough. I worked for so many imbecile MBAs. It was really bad 10-20 years ago. You could be a smart, talented, hard-working guy. Did not matter, if you did not have an MBA supposedly qualifying you for a "leadership" role.

Stop pretending this shit is valuable - just start giving knowledge and IQ tests.

@tleilax___ I'd assume that oil shoots up once the US markets open and the Americans see the recent Trump memes?

@Senteuk1 I think people are slowly realizing that the conflict is going nowhere fast.

The naval battle continued this morning ! Half a dozen ships were likely sunk.

@clashreport Does nobody proofread these things??

Trump:

@GavMcCracken This reminds me so much of the excellent book "Fortune's Formula". It is a great introduction into the topic of bet sizing and its effect on long-term profitability. Going all-in repeatedly works until it doesn't. And it definitively is super stressful.

I started with 1.5k and have hit three ~10-baggers in a row and can confirm going all in on a single pick will have you stressed and unable to sleep at night. This guy goes on to say "you only need five" if you start with 10k. There's a bubble.

@midnight_hammer @GavMcCracken Not all the Govs. Israel doesn't care and they know this is their chance and they must press to finish the job in Iran now. They won't get a second chance in the next 100 years.

@GavMcCracken Do you take into account that as an oil bull you’re on the opposite trade of all Govs

Oil futures are not pricing in the true strain that's been imparted to it via pent up demand from various sources, e.g. people only filling their tanks to half because they think gas prices are about to come down.

@realpeteyb123 If Trump wants any leverage, he might attack before his China visit.

I have to think Trump and admin wanted Iran wrapped up before the China meetup, why he pushed it back the first time. Wondering how this changes things?

@GavMcCracken And one of the doves. Basically taunting Trump now. The fact that we are still roughly 8-9% below last Monday's prices is a testament to the powers of Axios and the Treasury.

Oil limit down on this news. (((this guy is the head negotiator for Iran)))

@RobertJMolnar Iranian officials are basically taunting him now, after staying silent for so long. They are practically trying to gaude him into attacking. Maybe his injured narcissism combined with Israeli pressure will finally push him over the edge.

So I am checking my notes and here is where we are at 1. Putin dog walked Trump on a fucking major U.S. air force base in Alaska.....no deal 2. Iran dog walked Trump, basically everywhere...won the war Trump started....no deal 3. Kim Jong Un is laughing his fat ass off at all of this...no more love letters 4. All of Europe dog walked Trump over everything telling him to go fuck himself 5. Trump is a stroke and dementia ridden dipshit that constantly falls asleep in events in the WH 6. Xi has his leash ready to dog walk Trump this week, if Trump even ends up going we have the worst president of all time, and it isn't even close...absolute embarrassment to America

@JaneKorean @McFaul This is great.

Americans care about more than making money. Millions of Americans also care about values, even in foreign policy. Trump does not understand this basic fact about American society.

@Mangan150 Anybody who claims that money does not buy happiness or health has never had noisy neighbors. And noisy neighbors are mostly a function of a poor neighbourhood. Might not be politically correct, but true.

One of the best things money can buy is freedom from worry about money. Also one of the best things money can buy is peace and quiet. Those things for me outrank any cars, vacation, or houses.

@gman123 @GavMcCracken 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one. In the golden age of grift such legalities do not matter at all.

@GavMcCracken He can’t wo congress approval

Trump just suspended the Federal gasoline tax. Iran is going to be flattened... So unfortunate

@RaymondDuck6 @CRUDEOIL231 True. If he had tried even a little bit to give the Iranian leadership a face-saving alternative, they might have taken it. Alas, no side can possibly concede now without looking like a total buffoon.

@CRUDEOIL231 Even after he'd started it, if he'd behaved a tiny bit less like an utter cunt, he might have a few more options.

@FpsDougie @rickjeff78 This! He knows he's trapped, but his ego does not allow him to accept defeat. Also, the like of Levin and co buttering him up and the pressure of the Israelis to resume the attacks.

@rickjeff78 Trump never folds, he only knows how to double down. It’s how he’s gone bankrupt at least half a dozen times.

Cutting his losses is simply not an option. He is being forced to go all in.

@celestialbe1ng Upper class Anglo physiognomy. Doesn't really age.

Tell me you wouldn’t recognise elite Anglo genetics if it hit you in the face without telling me People are so used to seeing obese distorted sub-humans that they assume natural beauty must be surgery. I know Erin personally, her family genuinely is just that gorgeous

@FinancialPhys Thank you!

@calvinfroedge Both sides basically calling for capitulation of the other. Meanwhile, every day that goes by increases Iran's leverage exponentially. Trump has only two choices left: Attack or give up.

Iran rejects US proposal and offers counter proposal which includes full Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz
