@ArriojaJoseE @BrazilBrian Hooking up more intermittent power sources to your grid makes you less robust, as seen in Spain a few years ago.

How Uruguay is Navigating Rising Energy Prices As the ongoing war in Iran has pushed energy prices worldwide to near-historic highs, Uruguay is offering a model for managing the current crisis that most countries may want to emulate. Over a decade of policies to encourage investment in renewable energy has weaned the power grid off its reliance on fossil fuels; gross oil consumption has decreased substantially, while EV sales have surged.

@ToKTeacher You should talk to Doomberg, genuinely interested in the exchange. I follow you both. Full disclosure.

Ultimately we’ll solve all this. If we figure out fusion, as I say, all this will be moot. Solar, fossil fuels, wind, basically everything else will fall to zero cost because there’ll be ~zero demand for it. But that’s a prophecy. As is any claim that “solar is the future”.

Excellent discussion. I’d never heard of the Big Green Chicken before: but I like him.

@SantiagoAuFund Pretty good list

@agnostoxxx Every Monday homie

@grey4626 Almost every Western Hemisphere country is more important to th US than the UK. Has a country fallen faster from relevance than the UK?

No British government ever imagined an American president might finally tell the truth about the “special relationship.” Until now. Spare me the pearl-clutching obituary from The Economist, that decaying salon of transatlantic nostalgia where the ghost of Churchill is still being pimped out like a rent-boy for Davos subscriptions. Your precious bunting of flags in the bin isn’t some tragic metaphor for Trump’s “betrayal.” It’s the autopsy photo of a one-way parasitic bargain that America has carried on its back like a drunk uncle for eighty goddamn years. And the drunk finally woke up, looked around, and said: Fuck this. This isn’t “turning his back.” This is a sovereign nation refusing to keep subsidizing a continent of strategic eunuchs who have spent decades castrating their own militaries, hollowing out their industrial bases, and importing the very pathologies that make them security liabilities rather than allies. You want the special relationship? Earn it. Reciprocate it. Stop treating the United States like an ATM with nuclear weapons. Geopolitically and militarily, the numbers don’t lie and they never have. The United States still shoulders roughly sixty percent of total NATO defense spending...$845 billion out of a collective $1.4 trillion last year. Most of your European “partners” couldn’t hit the 2% GDP target even after Russia parked tanks on Ukraine’s border and started lobbing missiles at civilian infrastructure. Britain under Starmer talks a big game about “global Britain” while quietly slashing capability, courting CCP-linked cash, and letting its own streets burn under the weight of demographic transformation and speech codes that make the old East German Stasi look libertarian. You lecture us about values while your own government criminalizes tweets and turns Rotherham into a cautionary tale the media still refuses to fully autopsy. Historically, the ledger is even more damning. We bled for you in 1917 and 1941 when your empires were on the ropes. We bankrolled your reconstruction, anchored your defense for the entire Cold War, and let you punch above your weight on the world stage because sentimental Anglosphere nostalgia still meant something. In return? Suez 1956, where you expected us to back imperial nostalgia while we were trying to contain Soviet expansion. Vietnam, where you sat it out. Iraq, where you half-assed it and then spent the next twenty years sneering at us in your broadsheets. And every single time an American president dared put America First, your commentariat wailed like Victorian widows about the death of the alliance...as if the alliance was ever meant to be a suicide pact. You’ve internalized a victimhood narrative so profound it borders on the clinical...projecting your own national decline, your own loss of agency, your own self-inflicted castration onto the one country that still possesses the will to act like a great power. Trump doesn’t “deprioritize” the relationship; he simply refuses to indulge the delusion any longer. He sees what you refuse to admit: the United Kingdom of 2026 is no longer the reliable offshore balancer of 1945. It’s a mid-tier European power wrestling with internal entropy, elite disconnect, and a demographic trajectory that makes long-term strategic partnership… let’s just say, complicated. We are sick of it. Sick of the free ride. Sick of the lectures from people whose capitals are turning into no-go zones while their defense ministers beg Washington for more F-35s and more carrier groups to patrol waters they can no longer secure themselves. Sick of the pomp, the pageantry, the royal visits, and the hand-wringing editorials that treat American self-interest as some kind of moral failing. The special relationship isn’t dead. It’s being stress-tested by reality. And reality, Mr. Economist, is a vicious bitch with a ledger in one hand and a mirror in the other. Look into it. 💀⚖️🗡️

@razibkhan She totally does.

@TheMichaelEvery Hard to take countries seriously who have ak47 flags

To whom?

@Borg_Cryptos Market up 12% in a week Jeeze, can't miss that.

Honestly ? I don't believe it. Bull Trap.

@Borg_Cryptos Buy every dip until it doesn't work.

Today is probably your last chance to sell your bag. What's coming will be terrible for markets.

@LukeGromen Cope?

They’ll hold a meeting, realize they can’t open it if the US couldn’t, & then just agree to pay Iran in CNY… …and the easiest/only way to secure CNY is by buying physical gold in USD and selling that gold to China in CNY. People selling gold today are likely to be sorry.

@DanTalks1 Fair. I'm confused by US not securing nuclear material and Iran charging a fee for Hormuz crossing is bullish.

@exegesis Idk lol

I got a 2 hour drive, ask me anything thread

@Borg_Cryptos Max pain we gap and go Jeeze.
