Threading some stuff about oil & oil markets, just basic but hope it helps:
1/ oil markets are what you call β€œfinely balanced”. Supply is usually very very close to demand/consumption. Demand is hard to shift *quickly* in response to supply hiccups.
So even small supply changes = big price effects

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Of course there are many reasons why transit is failing in the state. But, we’d be naive to ignore that transit in the heart of his donor base is great while it is poor or nonexistent in other areas. It is his governing philosophy.

I love Caltrain and every time I ride it, there’s loads of people. CA can build good transit, especially for wealthy corridors. But, everyone deserves this kind of access, and to you Newsom lovers, you should ask yourself why they don’t.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

"I didn't see a single building standing the entire time I was in Gaza. I didn't see one building intact or standing.

Everything was flattened. And when I mean flattened, it was hard to even tell that they were buildings there before."

Yep. Remember when we were like- how many migrants are worth a solar tax credit? And, look where we are- no tax credit and straight up state sponsored kidnappings and murders.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

In Gaza, Israel and Biden normalized war crimes beyond anything we have seen before.

And now, Israel and Trump are using that model against Iranian civilians.
