Jet Fuel and Energy Surcharges: the spike in jet fuel-81% over the past two weeks & 124% since the start of the year- will cause businesses to start passing along costs in terms of energy fuel surcharges which will drive inflation higher.

Nothing has come back down in price since 2020. All prices are just an escalating series of new benchmarks. Itās why the rate of inflation doesnāt matter; only the remainder of past inflationary cycles does.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said." When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

Watched the highlights from the 83-point game in the NBA last night. Happy to have someone else own that record now. Also, the league hasn't played a lick of defense since 1998.

This is just astonishingly great reporting. All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them. And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

It seems to me the easiest way to calm fears about crude oil would be for the US Navy to actually execute a safe escort of an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. That they haven't done this yet is a tell, IMO.

The Founding Fathers kept Church and State separated. They assured all people could follow their respective religion. But did not include religion in our Government on purpose. A Secretary of Defense, an avowed Nazi, reading the Bible, is a great example of why the Founding Fathers were right.

Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents. Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.
