Haha you opened the thread, loser.

This could explain the above. The market is pricing in 5.2% inflation for the next 12 months. In 3 weeks, it's gone from pricing in a rate cut to pricing in a rate increase.

Taking Kharg? Or winding down?

This kerfuffle about targeting Pars got me thinking about just how wide the chasm is between Bibi's interest and Trump's in this war.

I can't speak for Bibi of course, but it seems pretty clear to me that, from Israel's point of view, the destruction of the regime would be worth even a once-in-a-generation energy crisis and global recession. Iran and its proxies are indeed a medium-term existential threat to Israel. That seems clear.

Yet for Trump and the GOP, it's probably not even worth losing the midterms over. (any more than they might already).

That gap doesn't matter if they win and it falls, but short of that I think it might start showing some stress in the relationship.

Seriously, wait for it.

This a commemorative coin, for magats collectors. Far worse in my opinion is his image on a circulating $1 coin.

Due to inflation, you can now eat food that has been on the floor for up to 7.3 seconds.

RIP. He was 86. Wow.

I also never use cash. I keep 5s on me for tips. Mostly car park personnel for when I go into the city.

It passes the sniff test.

A $1 coin.

And two commemorative coins.

Fucking bastard.

Troops to secure the strait?
