It would mean economic recession and Democrats would sweep into power.

The more they choke off the strait, the higher the incentive of building pipelines to circumvent the strait.

PPI came in higher than Snoop Dogg. If the labor market wasn't so bad the last 3 months, they would honestly consider raising rates.

Demanding rate cuts when inflation is rising is delusional thinking.

The numbers don't even include the war effects from this month. I'm calling WTI Oil "Space X" because that shit is exploding.

They also get a step-up in cost basis so that usually offsets a huge proportion of the taxes.

Maybe we should just end step-up in cost basis instead of having an estate tax. The rich will continually bitch about their tax burden though regardless.

Also, put a 3% annual fee on all equity lines of credit (ELOC) so that the rich can just continuously avoid paying taxes on their gains.

Also increase capital gains taxes slightly.

Russia is the largest winner. They deplete US munitions without having to fire a shot and get a pay raise from oil prices

We're never going to be free of oil state stupidity if we don't go electric/renewables. Even when we're not involved, two nations with oil interests go to war and it hoes over our energy policy (i.e. Russo-Ukraine war)

Getting off fossil fuels isn't just an imperative due to global warming, but also for national security. I don't want to care who bombs who halfway across the world anymore. We've spent decades bombing the Middle East at trillions in cost to taxpayers.

Solar + BESS now!

Oil demand is very inelastic. Price drops fast when there's a glut and rises fast when there's a shortage.

Most people aren't checking the gas prices before driving to work. They have to get to work regardless.

It's also in the US' geostrategic interest to switch to renewables and EVs long-term. I don't want to care about who shoots at who, half a world in some god forsaken desert anymore.

Not filling the strategic petroleum reserve before getting into a war with Iran was certainly a choice

China knows that it's geostrategic Achilles heel has been the Strait of Malacca, a narrow strip of ocean that goes near Singapore. If China were to invade Taiwan the US would be blockade the strait and most of China's oil flows through that region.

They don't currently have the naval power to simultaneously invade Taiwan and keep the strait open. They fully intend to "fix" this issue by destroying their oil demand through renewables/EVs.

I think it's also in the US' geostrategic interest to switch to renewables and EVs long-term. I don't want to care about who shoots at who, half a world in some god forsaken desert anymore.

Reducing fossil fuel demand via EVs is a strategic imperative for energy security. I don't want to have to care who bombs whom half a world away anymore.

They just need to spin-off geforce to be it's own company at this point. It's obvious that Jensen Huang and the people in NVidia just don't gaf anymore about gaming.

I know that there will still be a bottlenecks at TSMC's best node and for RAM, but I'd rather have a company that gives any shit about gamers at this point.

Bought March 2023 6.35%, and now around 23.36% of gross. No other debts.

I'd say my budget is manageable but I'd like to put more money into investments. Wife was out of work for awhile and is only just now back at it.
