@antmillionsbot Might wanna change that first line, considering WHO built all the Saudi oil infrastructure.

Macron is to announce the name of France next carrier on Wednesday. I'd personally love Le Richelieu, but what do you think he'll pick?

@adamscochran WTF?!? This clearly is not a subject about which you should be speaking. Start with a learning a bit about what drive Japan to attack Park Harbor, and what Axis infrastructure was bombed during WW2 and why. Hint: oil/ fuel.

What the HELL?! Who is giving Trump advice right now? Kharg Island doesn’t have any military targets - it is all oil shipping infrastructure and storage. You can see it ALL from aerial images. Iran considered this their red line as 90% of oil from Iran passes through here. There is no world in which this doesn’t further escalate Iran and cause more pain in the oil markets. This will also cut off China and India from Iranian oil entirely…

@shannons1724 @alt_w_v_g Sure, everyone deserves some time to learn their trade. Financial Management isn't a trade. And certainly not one where, as the customer, you should accept the teaching role.

Firstly, your posts are fantastic, don’t be offended when I criticize you. You were aware of the advisor’s youthful character, were you being coy when you introduced probabilities he may or may not be familiar with? It’s not his fault he wasn’t prepared for testday, but I agree that there should be familiarity or a willingness to learn. BUT, just because your wife made the appointment, doesn’t mean she kept you in the dark where you were going. It is your responsibility to research what they are currently offering to make them comfortable talking about the subject of retirement. THEN you bring in other factors they should be aware of… BUT, I do understand if you don’t want to waste your time. Tell your wife that. Suggestion: “Baby, I’m glad you took the initiative to discuss our retirement. Next time, let’s talk over where first…” ❤️

Met with a financial advisor today My wife set it up She wants "a professional opinion" on our retirement Nice office Glass desk Diploma on the wall from a school I've never heard of The advisor was 23 Maybe 24 He had a pullover vest and a rehearsed handshake He handed me a pitch book It had someone else's name on it I chose not to mention that He said "based on your risk profile I'd recommend a 60/40 portfolio" I said "what's the fee?" He said "1% annually" I ran the compound drag over 25 years in my head Said the number out loud Then I said it again slower His smile went away I said "what's the tax strategy?" He said "we review that annually" I said "what's the Roth conversion ladder? The asset location framework? The blended expense ratio on the underlying funds? Why wouldn't I just buy VOO for free and do this from my phone?" He opened his mouth Closed it Excused himself Came back with his boss Same vest Bigger watch The boss said "I hear you have some concerns" I said "not concerns. Questions. Your 23-year-old couldn't answer them. That's my concern." My wife kicked me under the table I kept going The boss said "the value is in the relationship" I said "that's what my therapist says too. She charges $250 an hour. You're charging more and doing less." The boss looked at my wife My wife looked at the ceiling I've now been to a therapist, a realtor, a car dealership, and a financial advisor this month My wife has walked out of every single one I asked her in the car what she thinks the common denominator is She said "you" I said "interesting. Not sure how to model that." Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

They are now refusing to state the number of American casualties in the Iran war. When regimes do this, it is a HUGE RED FLAG.

A report from CBS News indicates an Iranian ship approached the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and was fired upon by a Mark-45 5" deck gun that missed several times before an MH-60 "Seahawk" was launched and struck the vessel with 2 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles.

@bridge2buctober I love the song but, it’s the anthem of USN aviation. They’re good at protecting their ships but USAF is currently projecting Air Power in the sky’s over Iran. I wish we had a better song.

@JakeOverthere69 @US_OGA More than 30 nations have provided military support to the US this century. But yeah, going forward you may be correct.

@BillyBaldwin Looking at the stickers on the pump and it is easy to find out why your gas was so much. California has the highest taxes on gas and even you said you would be willing to pay $10 a gallon if it meant support for Ukraine under Biden admin.

@extremearturo The Law of Armed Conflict actually specifies the opposite of what you're trying to imply. Belligerents are required to respect TTW of neutral countries - so conflict should take place in TTW of the belligerents or on the high seas, i.e. INTERNATIONAL WATERS!!!!

They sank a boat with what is likely hundreds of people on it far outside of any warzone. Meanwhile, they're more worried about social media clicks than anything else. The U.S. military is a roving gang of thugs and not much else.
