Sony just RAISED PlayStation prices for the second time in less than a year. The PS5 Pro now costs $899 which is $200 more expensive than when it launched in 2024 and $400 more than the original PS5 at launch in 2020. The reason Sony gave: "continued pressures in the global economic landscape." That is corporate language for two separate crises colliding at once and gamers are paying the bill. The first crisis is Trump's tariffs. Sony manufactures hardware in Japan and China, both countries face steep US import taxes Japan at 15%, China at up to 30%. Sony estimated tariffs alone would cost the company roughly $680 million in a single fiscal year and rather than absorb that hit, Sony passed it to consumers. The second crisis is bigger, AI companies like OpenAI needed massive amounts of RAM, the same memory chips inside every PlayStation. Samsung and SK Hynix, two of the world's largest RAM manufacturers, locked up to 40% of the world's DRAM supply in deals with AI data centers. Then Micron halted consumer sales entirely to focus on B2B AI contracts and RAM prices exploded almost overnight. Sony quietly stockpiled RAM to survive 2025 but that stockpile is running out. With prices showing no sign of dropping, Sony's CFO told investors the company would have to "monetize the installed base" to offset rising costs meaning squeeze more money from the 92 million people who already own a PS5. The price hikes take effect April 2, 2026, less than a week away and very model is going up. Meanwhile, Microsoft already raised Xbox prices earlier. Nintendo scrambled to delay Switch 2 pre-orders when the tariff situation first hit and industry analysts say Microsoft and other hardware makers will likely follow Sony's lead.

@Tablesalt13 But that’s not an immigration issue. That’s a credit issue. These banks giving loans for cars and houses for people who just got here. Then they complain to the government to get a bailout.

I agree the CEO of @AirCanada should be fluently bilingual. He isn’t and that should be dealt with. But this week is not the time to make an issue of it. Outside of Quebec and the Ottawa bubble this is a non-issue and it reflects badly on @CanadianPM.

The Conservative Party of Canada has burned through nearly half a billion dollars in funding in the last decade despite only losing. Their leader has an estimated net-worth of 10M+ with some estimates above 20 million. Pierre Poilievre has never held a job outside of politics.

A food price shock is coming and most people have no idea it's already in motion. The timeline based on everything right now is 6 to 9 months. Most people are dismissing it. They shouldn't be. The Strait of Hormuz situation was already serious: - 34% of global fertiliser supply stranded in the Gulf - Force majeure declared on contracts worldwide - Urea up 30% since February. But something just made it significantly worse. Russia, which supplies 37% of global ammonium nitrate exports, just announced it's halting all exports from March 21 through April 21. Right at the start of the Northern Hemisphere planting season." The countries most exposed are • Brazil • Canada • India • Peru • Ukraine All of which are heading into their growing season right now. So we now have two simultaneous shocks hitting fertiliser markets at the same time. Gulf supply stranded by the Iran conflict and Russian exports switched off. Taking a lesson from history food price shocks in the 1970s were actually worse than the oil shocks that caused them. Food inflation contributed more to headline CPI than energy did through almost the entire decade. We appear to be setting up for something similar. By late 2026 planting drops and yields fall. By 2027 that shows up on food prices worldwide. I don't know what people are waiting for. Most won't pay attention until they're standing in a supermarket wondering why everything costs so much more than it did a year ago. By then it's too late to prepare.

If this video featured White men, the ATF would treat it like a national emergency: full IP tracing, exhaustive investigation, and a guaranteed 10-year federal prison sentence for each firearm infraction. If you're Black, none of the same laws are enforced.
Gun Owners of America@GunOwners

Democrats are weaponizing their last weeks in power to attack "machine gun conversion devices," but right now Matthew Hoover is sitting in prison for some ink on a piece of flat metal that ATF deemed a machinegun. The Trump Administration needs to Free Matthew Hoover!

Canada has 33 taxes, the highest in the world. Canadians pay more taxes than for food, clothing, and housing combined! 🇨🇦 Justin Trudeau’s salary: $406,200. His net worth: $95 MILLION.🚨 Jagmeet Singh's salary: $271,700. His net worth: $78 MILLION🚨 Pierre Poilievre’s salary: $299,900. His net worth: $25 MILLION.🚨 Someone explain to me, how the fuck do you turn a government paycheck into tens of millions, without stealing from the very people you tax into poverty?🤔 You work like a slave, give half of your income to corrupt politicians, barely surviving and one step away from homelessness, while they live tax-free, risk-free, and make more money in a week than you will in a lifetime🐕 Politics was never about serving the people; it’s the ultimate business empire, built on corruption, fraud, and laws designed to make them richer while keeping you enslaved! Every politician has offshore companies and hidden bank accounts. They created these loopholes to steal your taxes and send them overseas, and call it foreign aid.💼 I’ll never understand how Canadians willingly shackle themselves to one rigged, rotten, parasitic system, like obedient cattle and volunteer to hand over half their income to the pedophiles running the government and allow them to dictate their lives and steal their freedom. And then just sit there with loads of excuses, making zero effort to protect what they worked so fucking hard for. No action, no strategy, no urgency, just blind submission while they get robbed in broad daylight. I make six figures. I pay zero in taxes I've 4 nationalities and 11 offshore bank accounts I’m ungovernable because I cracked the code. I outsmarted the system, flipped the script, and now I run the show on my terms. My international structure protects me from the predatory Canadian tax system, the banking cartel and government overreach What if I handed you the same blueprint the elites use behind closed doors —a powerful framework and hidden tactics I use myself to build a tax-free global empire? 🤯 Click “Escape to Dubai” in my bio to learn more! Or comment: "Dubai" and I will send you a message. Learn or perish 🤷♂️

The war in the Strait of Hormuz will reach your local pharmacy within six weeks. Not because your pharmacist follows geopolitics. Because the active pharmaceutical ingredients in roughly half of America’s generic prescriptions begin as petrochemical derivatives manufactured in India, and India’s petrochemical industry begins as crude oil that transited 21 miles of water that closed on March 4. Nearly 70 percent of the active ingredients in US generic drugs are produced in India. India imports approximately 40 percent of its crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz. The crude feeds refineries that produce naphtha. The naphtha feeds petrochemical crackers that produce intermediates. The intermediates feed pharmaceutical plants in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Hyderabad that produce the API, the active pharmaceutical ingredient, that is shipped to contract manufacturers in the United States, Europe, and across Asia. The chain from the strait to the tablet is six steps long. Every step requires the one before it. CNBC reported that the Hormuz closure puts America’s generic drug supply at risk. Fierce Pharma warned of longer-term effects on US manufacturing and generics. Think Global Health mapped the pharmaceutical supply chains most vulnerable to disruption. The consensus across trade publications, health policy analysts, and industry executives is identical: four to six weeks of current inventory exists in the pipeline. After that, shortages begin with the most complex formulations first. Cancer drugs are the highest risk. Biologics requiring cold-chain storage have the shortest shelf life and the longest replenishment cycle. Clinical trial medications depend on uninterrupted supply chains that are now interrupted. Insulin analogues, antivirals, and cardiac medications all contain intermediates sourced from Indian manufacturers whose input costs are rising with every day the strait remains closed. Air cargo is the emergency bypass. But air freight rates from India have climbed 200 to 350 percent on some routes since the war began, according to logistics tracking firms. Gulf air capacity is down 79 percent because airports in the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar have been damaged or operate under restricted conditions. The Suez Canal route adds 10 to 14 days to maritime shipping times. The Cape of Good Hope route adds 21 to 28 days. Both alternatives assume the Red Sea remains navigable, which the Houthi threat has complicated since 2024. The World Health Organisation reported a 70 percent funding gap for its operational response in the region. Medical supply chains to Iran itself have been devastated, with hospitals reporting shortages of surgical supplies, blood products, and anaesthetics. But the downstream pharmaceutical effect extends far beyond the war zone. Every Indian manufacturer that pays more for crude pays more for naphtha, pays more for intermediates, and passes the cost forward into API prices that American generic drug companies absorb until they cannot absorb any further. The molecule does not know it is a medicine. The strait does not know it is a pharmacy. The petrochemical derivative that becomes a blood pressure tablet transits the same water as the petrochemical derivative that becomes a fertiliser pellet. Both are trapped. Both have shelf lives. Both have planting windows or prescription refill cycles that do not negotiate with blockades. Six weeks. Then the pharmacy starts calling patients about substitutions. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Your paracetamol is made from oil. The phenol comes from a cumene process that starts with naphtha. The naphtha comes from a refinery. The refinery’s feedstock transits the Strait of Hormuz. Ninety-nine percent of pharmaceutical feedstocks, solvents, reagents, and packaging are petrochemical-derived. The American Gas Association confirmed it. The medicine cabinet is the sixth layer of the Hormuz crisis and nobody is talking about it. The war started with uranium. It moved to oil. Then fertiliser. Then water. Then plastic. Now medicine. Paracetamol is 100 percent petrochemical. Phenol from cumene, converted to para-aminophenol, then acetylated. Ibuprofen is 100 percent petrochemical. Isobutylbenzene plus propionic acid derivatives. Metformin, the most prescribed diabetes drug on Earth, is 80 to 90 percent petrochemical. Dicyandiamide from natural gas derivatives. Antibiotics like amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin require methanol, acetone, and dichloromethane as solvents for extraction and crystallisation. Oncology drugs need cold-chain energy and plastic packaging. Every blister pack, every pill bottle, every syringe is PE, PP, or PET from Gulf naphtha. India makes 40 to 47 percent of American generic medicines by volume. It imports $4.35 billion in active pharmaceutical ingredients annually, 74 percent from China. But the critical precursors, the methanol and ethylene glycol that feed Indian API synthesis, are 87.7 percent and roughly 100 percent Hormuz-dependent respectively. The Indian government has prioritised household LPG over industrial petrochemical feedstock, starving the downstream pharmaceutical chain. API costs have surged 30 percent in the last two weeks. The typical buffer is two to three months of inventory. The war is nineteen days old. The clock started before the buffer was designed for this scenario. A diabetic in Ohio takes metformin every morning. The dicyandiamide that becomes the active ingredient traces back through a Chinese intermediate to a natural gas derivative that originated in the Gulf. The methanol used to crystallise the compound in a Hyderabad factory was shipped from a terminal that now sits behind the same strait controlled by provincial commanders with sealed orders. The blister pack was moulded from polyethylene derived from naphtha that loaded at a facility the IRGC published satellite targeting images of yesterday. One pill. Four petrochemical dependencies. One chokepoint. The farmer in Iowa cannot plant corn because nitrogen costs $610. The diabetic in Ohio may not be able to fill a prescription because methanol costs whatever the strait permits. Both crises trace to the same 21 miles of water. Both are governed by the same sealed packets. Both operate on biological clocks that do not negotiate with doctrine. Nitrogen decides whether the food grows. Methanol decides whether the medicine is synthesised. Polyethylene decides whether it reaches the shelf in a blister pack. Energy decides whether the cold chain holds for oncology and biologics. Every molecule in the pharmaceutical supply chain is now compromised by the same chokepoint that trapped the fertiliser, the gas, the plastic, and the water. Europe said Iran is not their war. Their existing drug shortages, 400 to 1,500 medicines depending on the country, will deepen regardless. Bangladesh, Egypt, and sub-Saharan Africa depend on Indian generics for infectious disease and maternal health. The API depletion clock runs for everyone. The strait does not distinguish between a urea molecule and a methanol molecule. Both are gated. Both are biological. And both determine whether human beings survive the next quarter.

🚨 PEOPLE ARE JUST NOW DISCOVERING VISINE EYE DROPS COST $2,560 A GALLON — THAT’S HALF THE PRICE OF GOLD… HOW IS THIS NORMAL? A guy broke it down on camera and people can’t believe it. $10 for HALF an ounce. That’s barely anything. Now actually scale it: • 2 bottles = 1 ounce • 128 ounces = 1 gallon • 256 bottles = $2,560 Eye drops priced like a luxury product and nobody questioned it. And now that people are seeing the math… they’re pissed. How is something this small quietly priced like that without anyone noticing?
