In what way does the bombing of oil refineries suggest that the rise in prices will be 'short-term?' Last I checked, it takes years to build or retrofit a refinery.

Well, the attack on Iran will end up killing thousands and raise gas prices while strengthening Russia, but at least it won't distract from the fact that the President of the United States raped children. Jesus Christ, we are in hell.

Diesel is over $6 a gallon at my local station in LA.

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock

If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Markets are *very* unhappy about developments in Iran.

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding.

Primary him.

Let's have Tammy Duckworth question him. I don't think he'll come off well.

He's the Secretary of Hammer, and nailing little girls is the specialty of this Administration.

I just remember so much hysterics around Trump's election victory, and then just 'oh well, better luck next time' from the opposing party. Really diminishes the credibility of all the warnings, even when many came true.

I want to see Millers role in things brought up in Mullin's confirmation hearings. How well does he get along with President Stephen?

How are you getting there? If by train, some cool stuff to do near either Millenium station or Union Station. If flying into ORD, it's a haul from the city proper. If flying into Midway may have more options.

Keep calling out Fox BS propaganda, this is so disrespectful to both Dignified Transfers just to make Trump look good

Right? If the war is already won, as the c-i-c is claiming, why are we still breaking stuff needed to win the peace?

A good example of why we need answers about strategy: We're destroying refineries and oil production. If the goal is to immiserate the Iranians and cut off their income, fine. (Not great thinking, but understandable.) But if it's regime change...uh, they're gonna need that rebuilt. So why do that?

A lightweight title bout? Seems appropriate for this venue.

Let's get Hegseth before a committee or two. I'd love to see Tammy Ducksworth grill him.

It seems like blowing up the world's oil suppliers is a much less efficient way to promote solar and wind than just simply subsidizing them, but what do I know?

How are the build quality and reliability on the BYD cars compared to Tesla? Not the highest of bars, but I'm very curious.

Who would you like to see run? The more visibility given to alternatives, the better. It would be good to have an anti-corruption candidate like Schiff, but I'm not sure what else he brings to the table.

Miller is effectively a shadow president.

It's a lot faster to make movies when you don't have 18 months of CGI post-production spread across 22 different special effects houses.

You discovered your next door neighbor was 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat, and exposed him by getting into a fist fight.

There has been no advantage to the US from trump’s cozying up to Putin.

"So, what are you going to do with your retirement?"

This fixed me

Also, it isn't just the olds, it's the wrong olds. Ones that don't understand how accelerating change has stacked the deck against the next generation.

Brad is 71, but the photo on his website certainly isn't. He knows full well why we're writing this story. He does frequent town halls over zoom, I may need to attend the next one.
