Wouldn’t be surprising if we end up seeing Iran’s off-ramp terms quietly accepted, at least in part. Something along the lines of: A ~10% levy on shipping through the Strait Partial or full relief on sanctions for Iranian oil The shipping levy alone could generate roughly $70B annually, helping offset wartime damage, especially when combined with renewed oil revenues. At first glance, today’s developments look contradictory, with the U.S. escalating militarily while potentially easing pressure economically. But that may be the point: create maximum leverage upfront, then offer a structured exit that both sides can accept without appearing to back down.

This is a very poorly written piece that relies too heavily on personal anecdote and high-level stats. It could have been a Substack. That said, it’s hard to deny the writer is talking about something real. The biggest hole in the article is not focusing enough on what it means that white peoples have adopted this identity. “Diner Goth” is the new Cookie Monster pajama pants. The writer mostly skips over the implications of anime, weed and colored hair being coded as downwardly mobile and white, and how this will impact urban elite culture and those who aspire to such. The other side of this dialectic — where strivers and elites flee anything associated with provincial crackers — is arguably the more important story. “The Walgreens cashier is non-binary and has pink hair.” Ok, so what? The most important part of this kind of cultural analysis is actually analyzing, which this piece fails to do.

If your conclusion from that Citrini poll was to long… Go touch some grass. Seriously, stop trading and go spend more time with your partner. This game isn’t for you.

Reads like cope..."Please daddy Trump, pump my shares". He is telling us that the default path right now is NOT GOOD for FNMA common shareholders.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. I remember when he was brought home in Trump’s first term. I will never forget his mother saying, “His bottom teeth looked like they had been rearranged with pliers.” He was basically braindead when they saw him again. I don’t even want to think about what he endured

“Did you listen anon?” This has to be one of the most revolting and subversive things that I keep seeing from popular fintwit accounts. It’s either a hubristic ego flex or an opportunistic tactic… either way it is not rooted in any virtuous cycle of investing.

If anyone in Warren's team is reading this...

Look, it’s pretty simple. There’s a huge budget shortfall caused by the Adams admin. There are looming federal cuts to the city. You can either raise taxes on the rich or you can cut vital city services that impact New Yorkers tangibly on a daily basis. Mamdani wants to tax the rich. The state legislature wants to tax the rich. The voters (54-29 statewide, per Siena) want to tax the rich. The only person standing in the way of taxing the rich is Gov. Hochul. The only one who would be responsible for cuts to things like trash collection, public safety, housing, education, public health services, parks, libraries, and god knows what else is Gov. Kathy Hochul. Sometimes the right thing to do and the politically smart thing to do are one and the same. This is one of those times. Just tax the rich.
