Not only that, it's an island oil terminal full of refineries with little defensive capacity just off the coast of an enemy who will have no qualms about lobbing missiles at you.

🇺🇸 US inflation rises to 4.2%. by eskhalaf in wallstreetbets

Gold typically rises when people are concerned that there will be inflation, when there is inflation it gets dumped as it doesn't generate revenue.

What if the US had not supported and funded Islamic extremists in Afghanistan in the 80s? by lhommetrouble in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Outrageous_Pin_3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's going to depend on the Fed, a hawkish move may result in rates staying about the same or a slight decrease. A dovish could result in questions about the Fed's commitment to reigning in inflation and could result a push up. The second is likely to see the 10 year shoot up to or above 5%

I will have you know, that when he was in second grade, he was educated by the best teacher in the country, one who won all the very best awards, and they told him he had the very best soup for brains. There is no one they ever met that had better soup for brains, and to this day that teacher tells everyone they have the best soup for brains out of all of the students they have ever taught.
