I was thinking we could crowd fund this. Get Sarah McLaughlin to sing "Arms of an PetroAngel" while carefully rehearsed oil executives look up at the camera, a glycerin tear glistening in their media trained but still heartbreakingly melancholic faces. politicususa.com/2020/03/10/tru…
Sarah McLachlan can do "Fallen" for all those busted flat Wall Street traders, "Surfacing" for seal bashers, "Sweet Surrender" for the US military in Afghanistan and of course reissue "World on Fire" to keep Trump in green in his old age.

A thousand bucks doesn’t go that far today. In 1930 it would have been $66 bucks when $1368 was the avg salary. Today the a good salary is 75K. But if the ideas sounds familiar. It is. apple.news/A0w1Pb3eZTGq10…

Who knew that there is yet another child of wealth and privilege being greased by our dear leader? theverge.com/2020/3/15/2118…
Normally it would be a conflict of interest to drive a government money into the President's extended family and their businesses. But in this case we don't care anymore. It's the new oligarch normal. cnbc.com/2018/08/14/alp…
The saddest part, to Donald at least, that Joshua Kushner is apparently a liberal like Trump was...and even married a model and made money on social media instead of spending all day on it. forbes.com/sites/stevenbe…

Random thoughts on #oil market

1- Oil is a vital strategic commodity that is interlinked with politics on both sides: supply & demand

2- Oil demand is a function of economic activities & technology

3- Economic activities are a function of economic systems and politics
4- The oil industry is capital intensive and highly technical, yet dangerous.

5- Most of the cost in the oil industry is up-front cost (% of fixed cost or sunk cost is high)

6- Oil reserves and production are relatively concentrated.

7- The oil market is NOT competitive
8- Oil industry's history tells us that to improve efficiency, reduce wastage, and preserve natural resources, the market needs to be managed. If the industry has no manager, governments will step in to manage. Saudis gave up management last week Trump stepped in yesterday

So finally got to attend this year's Kolkata Book fair despite hectic duty schedule. It was a magical experience as usual, barring some things that have become something of a trend for last few years...
Whole book fair, starting from its gates to stalls of every single government agency, is studded with gigantic placards of one face and one face only, far surpassing that of vivekananda and even rabindranath! It's not tough to guess who i'm talking 'bout.
I read in a newspaper that 'she hates putting up her face in placards'. It is a blatant lie. Don't tell me those placards have been put up without her knowledge. This is no different from modi putting his fake-smiling face in every single corner of govt advertisements.

Hank, the grumpy shepherd living in a cottage in the mountains in self-imposed exile, tending to his many, many sheep and his very large dog.
Connor, the vagabond that twists his ankle traipsing carelessly through his fields during a rainstorm.
The storm is not at its peak yet. The sheep are huddled a little closer, some of them seeking the shelter of trees and shrubbery, but the worst clouds are still far away. Hank sees a brief flash, then thunder rolls what feels like half a minute later.

We need to talk about the real conflict of interest in Washington.

Who has access to these pipelines? Why is ISIS really in Syria? Caliphate? [Expand your thinking]
How did ISIS form? When?
Contained?
Controlled?
Defeated?

#MAGA
Why was Benghazi so vital?
Why so many CIA there?
What competition does Israel have with this European pipeline?
Gazprom sounds kind of familiar.
How does Ukraine fit into this pipeline?
Seems like Russia v. Israel is lining up pretty well in the Energy competition.
