Before a severely throttled X audience of seven impressions. But at least my larger audience of readers here can see my special moment in the sun, LoL.
I would not be surprised if the US didn’t experience major internal dissent soon especially when diesel hits $10 a gallon. Let’s just hope innocent people don’t get swept up.

What will happen to oil prices on Monday?
Everyone is watching WTI at 72 dollars.
Diesel crack spreads just hit 77 dollars, more than the price of crude itself. That prices diesel as if oil were near 140.
Diesel is not a side market. It moves 80% of US freight by weight and… pic.twitter.com/aBRuEtOuNB

🚨 Strait of Hormuz traffic has collapsed to just 3 commercial crossings in the latest 24h roll — 1 E>W / 2 W>E. Brent crude is again climbing.
That’s down from 7 yesterday, 11 Saturday, and 57 at the June 24 rebound high.

After all the events from last night, oil is barely up from $70…

Forget the “diesel is trading like $140 oil” clickbait gimmick @ekwufinance
The signal is more important than that.
A $77 crack says diesel is desperately scarce relative to crude.
The economy doesn’t run on Brent.
It runs on middle distillates.#Diesel #Oil #EnergyCrisis… https://t.co/l6qWj4mhh7

🚨CASH ON THE SIDELINES is almost nonexistent:
Total US cash, measured as money fund and bank deposit balances, as a % of the S&P 500 market cap, is down to 0.42, near the lowest level on record, according to Bloomberg.

Shocking disrespect and mockery shown to a mainstream credentialed journalist.
NBC one of the original Big 3 bastions of
news and truth. Meanwhile Winterwatch
a backwater shack of malcontents and fringe conspiracists by comparison. The editorial budget of Winterwatch would be put to strain making a Starbucks run for the mailroom at NBC. Where exactly do you get your nerve Mr. Watch ?!
Paul from California satire ladies and gentlemen, you got me there for a few seconds.
I like how gas stays the same price when all that oil infrastructure is destroyed. It gives me confidence that society and the markets are working fine. Why did we even build that infrastructure in the first place? Evidently we don’t need it.
It seems like a good time to invest in mines, drones, missiles, satellites, concrete bunkers and the like.
