You don't have to be a very sophisticated person to know how lines of presidential approval and gas prices go historically in the United States.

The whole point of the "strategic" petroleum reserves is that they are there to strategically protect the USA against other Countries

No the call was not returned. Tea after five was served.
They know they did.

We add the vega when volatility goes up.
They do not.
Vega changes over time.
Therefore, the traders who use it monitor it regularly.
Winter's is coming and cold will be an vast understatement.

They are not stupid with hot inflation and they hitched to Hobson choice.
Illusion of choice with beta battery's is the rage now. Other tends are noted and warranted as viable.

Incompetence is the new criminal intent since confidence merged with arrogated intent as sophist. Fify said so.

Inflation.

Economic Policy Institute interviewed at NPR.

Took advantage of them.

But in fact, money-hungry executives, a pandemic, and an ongoing war are the real culprits for the supply chain interruptions and cost acceleration.

note: After Hitler came to power, the Frankfurt intellectuals came to the United States.
Ironically, Adorno, the hater of popular culture, settled in Los Angeles. Marcuse ended up in NYC,
where the work of the Frankfurt School was continued on a formal basis at Columbia University.

The book's purpose is to make every group affiliation sound as if it were a sign of mental disorder. Everything from patriotism to religion to family -- and race -- loyalty are signs of a dangerous and defective "authoritarian personality." Because drawing distinctions between different groups is illegitimate, all group loyalties -- even close family ties! -- are "prejudice." As Christopher Lasch has written, the book leads to the conclusion that prejudice "could be eradicated only by subjecting the American people to what amounted to collective psychotherapy -- by treating them as inmates of an insane asylum." The first attempt was 1986 on our group. It was a graduate student from Cornell. The internalized drones fell head first.

As we seen from the 2006 warnings from the slaughtered in Central America from 2016 to 2038 if I got the dates correct a "wasting" period or chastisement period seen. The files translated in good faith to those who have ears and an eye as we did.

The Keys to this Blood already known.

Malachi 3:16
Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard.
A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.

The Strategy of Tension never left the stage.
In his book «Praktischer Idealismus», Kalergi indicates that the residents of the future “United States of Europe” will not be the People of the Old Continent, but a kind of sub-humans, products of miscegenation. He clearly states that the peoples of Europe should interbreed with Asians and colored races, thus creating a multinational flock with no quality and easily controlled by the ruling elite.

Antonio Gramsci and George Lukacs carried the torch and created a strategy for destroying both Christian influence and the Western culture itself.
Instead of calling for a communist revolution, as they had in Russia, they decided they should seize political power last, after what they called "
A Long March through the Institutions" of the West.

Other Store Expenses. Other store expenses increased by $57.3 million, to $227.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $170.1 million in 2021, due to increases of $41.4 million and $15.2 million in the Acima and Rent-A-Center Business segments, respectively, primarily attributable to higher customer stolen merchandise loss rates, as discussed further in the section “Segment Performance” below.

Operating Profit. Operating profit decreased by $59.0 million, to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $70.0 million in 2021, primarily due to the increases in other store expenses...

Merchandise Losses. Merchandise losses consist of the following:

Three Months Ended
March 31 2022 2021 (in thousands)
Customer stolen merchandise(1)
$ 99,742 $ 56,588

(1)Increase in customer stolen merchandise in 2022 is primarily due to the increase in customer stolen merchandise loss rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021, as described in the Results of Operations section above. In addition, the increase is partly attributable to the timing of the acquisition of Acima Holdings on February 17, 2021, resulting in a partial period of losses for the first quarter of 2021.

Crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital plunges into liquidation as market crash takes toll

We must not forget for one minute that the world is at record debt levels which with everything going on easily becomes a liquidity crisis

There are people who borrowed money against their house at 3% to buy Bitcoin Miner hardware. But when Bitcoin goes from $69,000 to $20,000 these miners are producing less than 1/3rd as much dollars worth of Bitcoin and the electrical costs of running these (maybe 3,000 watts each) has gone up. Part of the chip shortage is due to chip companies making chips (both ASICs and GPUs) for Bitcoin miners. These will try to pivot away from miners now. The Fed keeping rates near zero for 14 years has resulted in "mall investment" all over the place. By Austrian economics theory, this bust should be really bad. I expect it will be.

And we are still at the beginning!!

Yes, I'd say we approach 3000 by the end of the month. The FOMC meeting interestingly is July 28, so by then pretty much we will have seen that inflation is the same more or less, or higher, and GDP numbers will also be awful. I have no positive outlook on them abandoning the effort to crush the markets.
