@BrettSlagh @LukewSavage so even during recessions it hiked up drastically? doesnt seem right to me tbh

@bragos81 @LukewSavage This one is inflation-adjusted.

Amid all the inane chin-stroking and mystification that goes on to explain politics today, the mental circumlocutions about how someone like Trump was elected, the pained speculations as to why liberal democracy is crumbling and so on, stuff like this is immensely clarifying.

@BrettSlagh @LukewSavage is there one that counts for inflation or shows purchasing power?

@LukewSavage Here's the equivalent for the U.S.

@MichaelPBento other markets still closed no?

Hourly volume this low over the last two days is the market holding it's breath. Now that can go either way when the market exhales, we could shoot up on a sigh of relief, or we can drop hard on a scream of fear. When looking at the hourly bollinger bands we can see they have been tightening as well. So SPY is setting up to make a big move, which I think will be to the downside, but I can't say that for 100% certain. Either way buckle up.

@europhilosopher @TraceJoyWar @roar_offreedom @admcollingwood well hes speaking from trumps perspective, hes not recommending or approving it lol

@TraceJoyWar @roar_offreedom @admcollingwood So childish of me not to want to bomb hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, how stupid of me

The reason he doesn't know what to do next is because he has NO good options. He is presented with a Devil's Alternative: accept a defeat that would destroy his presidency, significantly worsen the US strategic position globally, thrust the US out of the Arabian Peninsula and destroy his presidency OR a land invasion which would be massively costly and almost certainly not bring strategic victory. What would you do?

@dyedxo wait how r u guys reading it

as odd as this e-dating site is i can see some genuine kindness behind this little paragraph

@henry_bayes @JPATrades the point ur making here applies to ur initial reply

@bragos81 @JPATrades Ok who cares. John’s puts are worthless whether they expired yesterday or on Monday. That’s all that matters. Are you one of his bots? LOL

Me seeing this news come out AFTER my puts expired

@henry_bayes @JPATrades yeah for sure bro every month they revise the previous months job numbers by increasing size but surely this months numbers are accurate

@JPATrades Did you miss the part where THIS MONTHS job gains were 2x expectations? Is this engagement bait? SHOW ME LESS LIKE THIS, SHOW ME LESS OF JOHN TRADES MBA

@PresentWitness_ @KennethKit45151 what i should've done

@KennethKit45151 It very well could be. I dumped half of mine on the open and watched the rest go to zero. Reloaded at the close.

US stock market closes green despite oil rising 11%. The golden age of market manipulation.

@chargersownme truth is u had a window of opportunity where she was interested and u failed to seize it just gotta go next

This is obviously long story short but basically thought I was going to go talk to her after we talked initially (mutual friends at bar) and I also literally just got there. Got drunk and never met back up with her. Am I just fucking chopped

Can someone genuinely explain this to me I’m at a bar in Columbus. Girl comes UP TO ME and says oh we had a class together. I said oh yeah awesome. Match with her on hinge week later. Say hey I tried to find you after to get your number. No response. Am i missing something?

@Khosichilla @Barrry972 @s_xcellence the real problem with deadpool is the skill floor required to be useful is so high that id say (at least until celestial?) more often than not they r just pretty useless even though they have potential to be BiS

@Barrry972 @s_xcellence He’s not bad, but he’s not meta level. Imagine if his aerial shit had the same amount of punch as phoenix does

My main issue with the hero is simple, Wanda is kept ass bc if the current version was good it would be genuine terrible design so why does this logic not apply to CnD, they're literally Moira but actually good Every good support is good at CnD, most CnD are not good at support

@monsternihilist @tragicbirdapp yeah sorry :(

@tragicbirdapp Are they talking about me

what did bro do

@andzsy @phoebesaid @shanaka86 people voted in the liar and now turns out he lied

@phoebesaid @shanaka86 People voted Trump in part because he said he wouldn’t start wars. He broke that promise.

JUST IN: The most irreversible consequence of this war is not happening in Tehran. It is happening in a barn in Iowa. A farmer is standing over a kitchen table looking at two seed catalogues. One is corn. One is soybeans. Corn needs 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen costs $610 per ton on the CBOT March futures settlement as of yesterday, up 35 percent in a month. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria called rhizobia. They need nothing from the Strait of Hormuz. The farmer is choosing soybeans. Millions of acres are choosing soybeans. And once the planter rolls into the field, the choice cannot be reversed until next year. USDA projected corn at roughly 94 million acres for 2026, down from 98.8 million. Soybeans at 85 million, up from 81.2 million. Those projections were published February 19, before urea surged past $683 at New Orleans. The actual shift will be larger. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. By then the seeds will be in the ground. This is the transmission channel the world is not watching. A 21-mile strait enforced by provincial commanders with sealed radio orders just rewrote the planting economics of 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. Not through sanctions. Not through diplomacy. Through the price of a single molecule that corn cannot grow without and soybeans do not need. Now follow the cascade. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually. That consumes roughly 43 percent of the entire US corn crop. The mandate is set by the EPA. It does not flex when corn acres shrink. It is inelastic demand consuming a fixed share of a declining supply. When supply tightens against a fixed mandate, the remaining corn reprices upward. Corn above $5 per bushel compresses every margin downstream. The US cattle herd stands at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low per USDA NASS. Poultry and pork operations face compression from higher corn prices. Feed is the single largest cost in livestock production. When feed reprices, protein reprices. When protein reprices, every grocery shelf in America absorbs the increase. This is the protein cascade. Corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the checkout counter. Each link tightens because the link before it tightened. The originating cause is a urea molecule that cannot transit a strait because a provincial commander’s sealed orders say it cannot. The farmer did not start this war. The farmer cannot end it. The farmer responds to the price on the screen and the biology of the two crops in front of him. Corn needs the molecule. Soybeans do not. At $610 the arithmetic is settled. The planter rolls. The season is locked. Israel just authorised the assassination of every Iranian official on sight. The US has spent $16.5 billion. South Pars is burning. The Fed is holding rates because oil inflation will not break. Gold touched $5,000. Bitcoin is bleeding. China is running exercises near Taiwan. Sri Lanka shut down on Wednesdays. And underneath all of it, a man in a barn is making the decision that determines whether four billion people pay more for food this year. He has never heard of the Mosaic Doctrine. He does not know what a sealed contingency packet is. He knows what nitrogen costs. And he is planting soybeans.

@Bigvadrouiller1 looked it up and the Armagnac ultimately were defeated/gave up when the Burgundians received backup

This is why you should always have disciplined soldiers with you during siege surrender negotiations: "At the siege of Senlis, on April 10, 1418, while the Armagnac army was encamped before the fortifications, a group of Burgundian burghers and soldiers suddenly approached. They agreed to surrender on one condition: that the charges against them be civil and not criminal. Count Bernard VII of Armagnac and his troops, being weary, agreed. But suddenly, from within the ranks of the Armagnac army, a soldier said: "When we enter, we will seize your furniture and abuse your daughters and wives before your very eyes." A skirmish ensued with crossbows, bows, and culverins with heavy losses on both sides, nullifying the compromise.

@houseofbones @rico_barsz died

@rico_barsz Wow. What happened ?

A new colleague was added to the work WhatsApp group at 7 a.m. welcome messages dropped. At 9 a.m, he sent a message expressing gratitude for the warm welcome. At 3 p.m, the person who had added him to the group shared the news of his passing and condolences started pouring in.

@justjuri27 @tragicbirdapp he just needs a haircut that suits him better

@tragicbirdapp stonecold looksmatch

@JuicyJuuce @future_widow @FSOBrat @CheeseGalaxy3 @FNazis85244 @noahpasaran its like u guys r just purposefully dense and ignoring the point

@future_widow @FSOBrat @CheeseGalaxy3 @FNazis85244 @noahpasaran humans complain for stupid reasons all the time

kind of feel like collectively a lot of people are having a mirror moment to Soviet emigres encountering an American supermarket

@Mondeju1 @ashwinjain_1 @marlowxbt yes but its also just because its 3c per dollar and hes not only putting in 1$ per trade

@ashwinjain_1 @marlowxbt “ Biggest win: put in $427, walked away with $11,816. ROI 2,663%.” He is not doing ONLY 3c arbitrage

Guy worked analyst at Goldman Sachs. Salary $180,000/year. Quit in December no explanation. Colleagues didn't understand why. Month later someone from team found his wallet on Reddit. Username matched his old GitHub. distinct-baguette. $626,270 profit. 35,059 predictions. Since October 2025. → Wallet: @distinct-baguette?via=marlowxbt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@distinct-bagu… He quit Goldman when side project started making $180,000 per month instead of per year. The wallet: Only 15 minute windows. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP. Biggest win: put in $427, walked away with $11,816. ROI 2,663%. Strategy: When market panics YES drops to 48c, NO to 49c. Together 97c. One GUARANTEED pays $1. Buys both for 97c. Waits 15 minutes. Collects $1. Keeps 3c. 3 cents × 35,059 times = $626,270. Goldman pays $180K/year for analysis. He makes $180K/month buying math errors. Managing Director messaged via LinkedIn: Come back. We'll match. He didn't reply. Wallet still active. Goldman still trying to reach him.
