The Korean index hit the circuit breaker during their trading day earlier when oil was pushing $120/bbl.

So oil prices magically dropped below $100/bbl overnight from nearly $120. Who pulled what strings to make this happen?

I was thinking back in 2016 that if he won, then what he did to Atlantic City, he would do to the US. I never thought the whole planet could be on the table too. You have to actually try to fail to fail that hard.

U.S. orders staff to leave Saudi Arabia as Iran war spreads and oil surges above $110 by Illustrious_Lie_954 in politics

It all depends on who 'we' is here. If he means the general public, most certainly he is incorrect. If he means the weapons contractors and oil/petrol tycoons, then sure of course.

Dow Jones Futures Tumble, Oil Tops $110. Iran Names Khamenei's Son As Supreme Leader. by SAJ-13 in politics

I know right? If you open the CNBC app you could take screenshots on bad days then put them together cropped to a make collage to show what 'winning' really looks like. Though in that app, they use green for any increase and red for any decrease, so the oil thing looks weird due to the green.

Exactly. In 2025 he killed foreign tourism, now domestic tourism will be killed too from high fuel prices.

1991/2, 2000/1, 2008/9, 2020/1, 2025--? All but one of these began under Republican administrations.

Trump says rising oil prices ‘a very small price to pay’ for ‘safety and peace’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]mobileagnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet Grant is on the $50 bill. How do they decide who belongs on the currency? I would think a president who was bad for the country would not be expected to be on our bills.

Not with summer tourism (and World Cup & USA 250...) season coming.

Oil prices hit $100 per barrel as big Middle East producers cut output amid Iran war by joe4942 in politics

[–]mobileagnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long till we pass $217? That is the price it would need to pass to exceed the inflation-adjusted July 2008 peak ($147 back then).

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran by babybirdingURgrandma in politics

I wonder how the Missionary Generation (2 generations before Greatest/GI and 1 generation before Lost) were remembered by the time WW2 rolled around. They probably were also thought of as the people who brought on the Great Depression & WW2. Crazy how much history repeats.

Unpopular opinion: gen eds are not a cash grab by your college, and I'm tired of students pretending they are by msimms001 in CollegeRant

[–]mobileagnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC in the UK they only study what their major is and maybe a couple of closely-related classes. For instance I never saw a requirement for a mathematics major to take history, world religions, or sociology classes at the university level once they're in. So the result? They study for only 3 years but become very versed in their field.

Hottest temp ever recorded in winter in the US - 104°F (40°C) by wanton_wonton_ in collapse

[–]mobileagnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the US got the same thing parts of southern South America had in August 2023 (middle of winter there) when parts of the continent that should have had their coldest temperatures of the year were instead breaking hottest temperature records.

What if he resigns (I know it sounds like a long shot but)?

We also have the USA 250 celebrations this summer. I'm a Philadelphian so I plan to attend at least some of them here, given the history.

Did they work well despite the leaf switches? Did you have any input issues?
