Do you realize how isolated USA is becoming..? No response from Europe nor Asia (even if the latter are the most impacted..) regarding Hormuz..

maybe norway should take over the straights of hormuz, they could control all the products that go thru there and do it right! or, maybe germany, they could do it, especially if they could get some of the new immigrants to sign up and protect their oil supply.

So are they passing out free jars of Vaseline or do they charge for that too? What a fool!

Know of a gentleman that paid 31k last year in property taxes in NY. Unbelievable!

Well now that the Gov has asked the wealthy to move back to New York so that they can pay more taxes I'll bet they come back in big numbers. Riiiight. Sure they will.

Unbelievable.

NYC Is proposing raising minimum wage to $30 per hour.
Burger flippers making as much or more as a policeman?
No doubt that will end well.

All they’ll do is run the cost of a burger up so high that a $30 an hour employee can’t afford one… nor can the cop.. or anyone else…

And tourists will stop visiting because the cost of visiting is so high…

So all of the burger flippers will become unemployed…

It’s amazing how fundamental economics escape liberal politicians…

They moved for a reason…. Her states regulatory environment and tax code drove them out…

Her telling people “hey… we have a lot of expensive shit up here that you guys wanted so little that you chose to leave rather than pay for it…” isn’t exactly a compelling argument for getting them to come back and pay for it now..

Especially after they’ve experienced warmer weather and greater personal freedoms of Florida..

I’d imagine that idiot in the mayors office in NYC isn’t doing her any favors either…

NYC spends more per homeless person than a typical household earns in a year, data shows

NYC homelessness spending skyrockets 262% to $368M since 2019, yet street homeless population grows 26%, raising serious questions about program effectiveness.

Not a good looking spiral leading to a shit storm......

Trump says US will 'massively blow up' major Iranian gas field if it attacks Qatar again

The US "knew nothing" about an Israeli attack on the South Pars gas field, the US president says, but warns Tehran against further retaliation.

Maybe not going to cause China as much pain as thought.....

The Iran war is causing a global energy crisis - can China withstand it?

With oil supply disrupted, Beijing's oil reserves and renewable energy push are being put to the test.

Found this pretty worrying for a few years now.....

Slow pandemic: Next global health crisis has already begun with quiet spread of antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance does not trigger the same urgency as an explosive outbreak. It spreads across hospitals, farms, communities and borders without a single dramatic moment of recognition. Yet it…

Texas says: “Hold my beer.”.

Though, I’d submit lack of income taxes more than makes up for it.

I suggest you clean up your own mess..is it not typical for Trump to fuck up and leave the problem and the cost to others..

Exactly, you break it you own it...I wager he will declare victory sooner or later regardless of the actual status of the conflict and most likely not make any attempt to clean it up afterwards either..

375 Ruger, I think the above tactic is the obvious “Trump” card. Destroy Iranian production and the delivery of their oil.

The reason it’s a last resort is it would collapse the Iranian economy, sending million of refugees into neighboring countries. Creating a decade long crisis in the Middle East. It would also harm the world economy.

And more importantly to Trump is it would seal Trumps political future. Mid terms and 2028 would be a blue tsunami.
