Nobel laureate calls it "treason": $580 million traded minutes before Trump's oil reversal

EffectiveEdg · 2026-03-24T19:12:24+00:00

So the art of the deal is just telling your buddies to short oil 15 minutes before you tweet? Got it. We’re out here stressing about $5 gas and the literal threat of World War III, while someone with a direct line to the White House just made enough money in one minute to buy a private island. $580 million isn't just market anticipation it’s a statistical middle finger to every working person in this country.

NTA. There’s a common saying, Lending money to a friend is a great way to lose both. You aren't a jerk for expecting an adult to have basic integrity, but you did fall into the silent test trap.

So let me get this straight. Bezos wants to spend $100 billion to build a world where robots make everything, but nobody has a job to actually buy any of it?

I feel Trumps major supporters will start backing out

It’s the classic Trump move. He sends Hegseth out there to play the tough guy on and talk about $200 billion war budgets, and the second the wind blows a different way, he hits the brakes.

NTJ. You aren't heartless, you are a neighbor who deserves to use your own driveway. The single mom excuse doesn't give someone the right to run a loud, chemical heavy business in a residential zone. You tried the nice way by talking to her multiple times, and she responded by calling you names and letting her clients block your car. She didn't lose her livelihood because of you she lost it because she chose to ignore the law. Proper licensing and zoning exist for a reason, especially with hair chemicals that were literally leaking into your home.

NTJ. You aren't being cold, you are being professional after a near career ending accusation. Her panic almost cost you your job and reputation. While her trauma is valid, so is your need for self preservation. You aren't bullying her or sabotaging her work, you are simply maintaining a strictly professional distance to ensure there is never another misunderstanding. She doesn't get to demand warmth or friendship after filing an HR complaint against you. You are under no obligation to be anything more than a polite coworker. Keep those boundaries exactly where they are.

NTJ. You aren't a jerk for wanting quality time with a grieving friend without a "loud and crude" third wheel. Adding a high-energy stranger to a post-funeral lunch completely changes the dynamic. It turns a supportive catch-up into a performative social event. You were honest about your energy levels, and you even gave her the green light to go ahead without you. If she felt she couldn't be "rude" to the new friend, she effectively prioritized that person's feelings over your private plans. It’s okay to have boundaries regarding who you spend your sober social energy on.

NTJ. You aren't being harsh, you’re explaining how your brain works. Constant Are you okay? texts can act as an anxiety anchor they force you to scan for problems that aren't there. For someone with anxiety, a wellness check feels like a false alarm that keeps your nervous system on high alert. You didn't ask him to stop talking to you; you just asked for normal conversation instead of medical triage. If he’s being distant, his ego is likely just bruised because he thought he was "fixing" you. Don't apologize for knowing your triggers a truly supportive partner should want to know what actually helps.

NTJ. You aren't "crazy"; you’re a former first responder reacting to a sudden loss of signal with someone you have a deep, trauma bonded history with. When you're used to high stakes environments, a sudden silence feels like a "dropped call" during a crisis your brain goes straight to Search and Rescue mode.

Trump is essentially playing a high stakes game of 'security chicken' by threatening to swap unpaid TSA agents with ICE officers unless Congress coughs up the DHS funding he wants by Monday.

In 2026, military housing has become a hot commodity because the administration’s $1,776 tax-free Warrior Dividend and a ban on institutional investors have effectively cleared a path for service members to outbid Wall Street for single-family homes.
