When I was 13, today's appetizer plate was the dinner plate and the largest burger you could get was a Big Mac (550 calories) unless you went to a diner that put 2-3 patties on a bun. Milkshakes were the most unhealthy thing you could drink and less than 500 calories as well. Today, the average mixed drink at Dunkin's or Starbucks is a large drink, with tons of sugar and fat, and probably comes in at 750 calories plus. The average mixed coffee drink! It's got more to do with portion size than anything else, but we are killing out kids! I find when I order off of Denny's 55+ menu, I can barely finish that plate of food now...I can only imagine ordering the Grand Slam off the regular menu which is like twice the size and calories. Cheers! And then we have these two successful companies - one American, one Danish - making tons of money by producing meds - pills and sub-kutan injections, instead of countries, nations providing a healthy culture and lifestyle including exercise. It's sick, it's decadent. Almost as sick as investing in the two large French companies and the large Swiss company, that are all set to sea to put a tax on vanity of the rich, the super-rich and the filthy-rich! I think the common denominator could be called putting taxes on bad habits and behavior. Western culture at its finest! But when it's dividend payment day, I'm almost getting high on my investment banks app sending me boatloads of pop-up notifications and *ding*s! -For cash ticking in! - *ding-ding*, *ding-ding*
SharperDingaan Posted March 5 Posted March 5 (edited) Ya all might want to keep in mind that Friday prayers are coming up, and the US has just assassinated a whole lot of the Iranian clergy. The Iranian war is spreading, this is clearly not how it was supposed to go, and one would expect that comes tomorrow .... Americans, everywhere in the world, will be the adverse subject of a radicalised fatwa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa Oil is up 'cause Iran is no longer constraining tanker strikes to the SOH. If crude prices are to be contained, American tanker insurance and escorts now has to extend to everything in the Gulf, Arabian and Caspian seas; further still as/when radicalised Islamist start killing Americans in both Asia and the US. Still think that oil prices go lower ???, or that this is going to be over quickly ??? The US doesn't have the ships, and needs friends. Sure bud ... after you deposit the 110B+ in illegal tariff collection at the IMF (or elsewhere), and remove/reduce the remaining tariff levels .... bullying is such a bitch; we need the money to pay the higher fuel bills that you are creating . With the US both borrowing and printing USD ... how do you think the bulk of that 110B actually gets repaid ??? Still want to hold USD paper ??? But worse still ... what if Orange Boy also looses the midterms . It's spiralling. SD Edited March 5 by SharperDingaan
Gregmal Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Yea, waiting for the cries of inflation “soaring” again because oil prices have reached 2006 levels again. It’s like clockwork

Cheers! One of the drivers in our beer business is drink less, drink better ... or smaller portions, of better food. Deadly to the CPG business as it destroys the high volume model, touting 'value' as the quantity of food on your plate for the price paid. Great for us though! Same opportunity around airlines ... SD

SD Yes, but I’ve found that like the TDS crowd, there are a lotta folks whom are basically brainwashed and think inflation and commodity super cycles are always “just round the corner”. Events like the past week or two typically cause them to walk around with a 3 inch bulge in the Dockers.

All those bunnies adding all that 'funny money' to the stack ... and all certain, that oil cannot possibly also go down . May cheap options be widely available, and the pillage awesome! SD

cwericb Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Just wondering how that Billion dollar Peace Board is going? You know the one with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, USA, etc.

Then the primary purpose of the board to reconstruct Gaza might be less complicated.

So they should suck it up, take the hits and their lives will be better longer term. Getting Iran out of the way (I still hate the way Trump just bypasses Congress), but that is good for all countries in that region that rely on business and trade to help their people. If they relied on state terrorism to fund their lifestyle, well...that period is now officially over. Although...terrorism is rising within Pakistan and they are already nuclear capable! So, when one problem is solved, another snake may raise its head later on! Cheers!

Xerxes Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Pretty good documentary on the rise of Shamkhani from a revolutionary to an oil trading oligarch I remember, I think it was last year, The Economist had an investigative piece on his son who is at the centre of trading business extending far in the Russian trade.

Blake Hampton Posted March 6 Posted March 6 The war in Iran is costing the United States government about $1 billion a day. WTI is now running close to $89 a barrel. I'm just waiting for him to start draining the SPR lol.
