But if the US is the one blockading, those countries sending and receiving oil from the gulf will be blaming the country actually implementing the blockade which is now the US instead of Iran.

I’ve been reading these articles for about an hour now trying to figure out the plan. So, Iran blockades the straight and disrupts trade but starts letting some ships through and may be requiring toll payments. Not good but slightly better than nothing. The goal is to open the straight so the global economy doesn’t completely melt and the solution is to blockade all traffic in the straight? The means all traffic from US allies and adversaries. Now, the straight is being blockaded by essentially the US and Iran so no ships go through at all. What’s the plan? Keep it closed for what purpose? Does Trump think the US can ramp up oil, natural gas, and refining to plug the hole in the energy market? Is that the plan? I can’t see anything else making sense.

Like yeah, that post was obviously insane, unhinged, and just flat out immoral…but could you imagine if he used Dijon mustard?

The irony was when reading the post, the apostrophe was what made me question if he wrote it. I was surprised he knew how to use an apostrophe or where to find it on his phones keyboard. That was my first thought about the person Americans elected to lead their country. Says a lot and I am American.

Grateful Dead in theory, NOFX in practice.

These are the breakthroughs I want to hear about. I’m off to become a farmer.

I do think it’s somewhat a victory. These types of jobs come with a lot of process knowledge that is very important to be effective. The more turnover in these roles, the more time they have to spend getting up to speed on how things work and the less they can accomplish. The less they can accomplish, the better off the country will be. I figure (guesstimate) that it impacts department productivity by at least 10% which is better than nothing.

Combat the minefield with a fork bomb. Ain’t no process surviving this engagement.
