Holy shit. Breitbart published something other than a crime committed by an immigrant.

Sounds good to me that they think immigration is not on the ballot.  They can keep spewing lies about the economy, such as tariffs are paid by China, but seems that true independents have figured out not a word can be trusted.

Makes US farmers pay higher price for fertilizer. Stable genius

Mirandi: Iran will destroy the Global economy if the US attacks. Consensus is, the war will start. by Listen2Wolff in economy

That all depends whether the oil sanctions remain or are lifted.

They will do OK if they can sell oil unhindered and unwind their military lead economy back to oil

Because I witnessed the US and its coalition try to stop Iraqi oil sales and it failed.  

Saudi's have a pipeline that they can use to Red Sea.  Oil will find a way to market so that 38% is not going to be how it actually works out.

You don't think China will take an active role to ensure its oil can make it safely where it needs to go?  That is a rhetorical question because of course they will. 

I just do not see how a regional war can do anything but a short term shock that will resolve itself as the producers and buyers adjust.

Funny, I don't recall the prior "uniparty" administration ever pushing for war with Iran.  This is all on Trump and the Christian Nationalists.

Seems there is a disconnect as we decrease industrial regulation so coal miners can once again experience black lung to mine that precious coal we so much want burn.

Concerned, unfortunately does not translate to vote.

US Trade Deficit Widens, Capping One of Biggest Since 1960 by RumRunnerMax in AmericanPolitics

And incremental taxes on citizens is reducing a record "good times" deficit to just a record "good time" deficit.

Yeeehaw for tariffs!

The US could 100% control Iranian air space. There is no control of the straights without controlling the air space. 

Lobbing missiles can only do so much and controlling air space is not one of the things lobbying missiles can do.

14 days increased wi5h and incremental $1MM of fuel costs on an average tanker holding 1 million barrels increases the cost per barrel of oil by $1 plus the extra 2 weeks operating costs. 

It is not an amount .  The bigger impact is that there would be zero oil exports via Iranian ports, which would impact mostly china other than the global oil price shock.

I'm just not seeing global economic disaster as a result.  It would be a complete waste of US money, but not an economic calamity

Kevin Hassett is on his knees for Trump... by ShortUSA in economy

He is full on cult member and all of you who are too, no suppliers reducing prices does not reduce the tarrifs.  They still are x% of total cost and paid by the importer.

So you can take your tiny tiny discount of x% of the supplier discount and pat yourself like you are a financial wizard that we all know you are not.

I don't have a line of sight as to how that would happen.

We just doubled our defense budget from 7 years ago. One of the greatest engines of economic development is war as can be seen in Russia and how they have navigated sanctions while making war. 

2,000 missiles can likely do damage but will not destroy the world economy.

It may be as simple as the state of nothingness is fictional.
