Quote from: K-Dog on Mar 31, 2026, 08:13 PMYour criticism of Berman is accusation without substance.  You have found no fault with his argument.

Maybe. But I have found fault with the pofessional mistakes he has made in public, in front of hundreds of people, or just tens, in national conferences.Or however many were on TOD and knew someone selling an amateurs perspective when it was announced.

What is your experience with his professional mistakes and their magnitude, to believe nothing more than his AI generated argument?

As I have mentioned, folks BELIEVE things they want to believe, first and foremost. Why? Because the scientific training and experience to test out a hypothesis is rare. I can name PhDs who lack such an ability.

Art is a history major for starters. And I caught him at a SIPES meeting not knowing that when it comes to the oil and gas industry as well.

In your world K-Dog, someone who claims to know something about electricity and doesn't know the different between voltage and amps, you take their word for wiring a circuit to your satisfaction do you?

Iran has attacked Amazon’s servers

News agencies report that Amazon servers were attacked today. Drone strikes hit facilities in Bahrain (Hamala region) and, according to some reports, in the UAE. The attack caused power outages, damage to data centers and disruptions to services, banking and booking systems in the region.


My suggestion to the employees, use your sick leave.  Call in.

This is tit for tat because Trump just hit Iran hard, and Iran gave fair warning that they would retaliate against US companies.

It comes down to if the narcissistic trapped animal will use a nuke.  But perhaps I should type 'when' instead of 'if' Trump uses a nuke.  At this point I'd bet on it.  After all, the motherfucker wants to go down in history as a big big man, and the heartless cretin will smoke people in a heartbeat.  He has shown that already.

Given the choice of knowing that a lot of Americans are about to die Trump will nuke.  He won't be doing it to save American lives, don't misunderstand.  Trump will do it to prevent the blowback from mass casualties and he thinks using a nuke will save his ass.

Exactly how far is it from Iran can't have nukes to I'm using my nuke.  Somebody get me a map.

We are now living in the time of a trapped animal, unfortunately this animal in not powerless in a bunker as his enemies close in.  He is a demented fool who will play god.

You’ve not seen a Downfall parody as funny as this one about Donald Trump’s war on Iran because it’s just brilliant

It will come as no surprise to learn it’s about Trump’s catastrophic war on Iran, obviously, but what might take you aback is just how good it is.

Why The War in Iran Could Trigger the Worst Global Food Crisis Since the 1970s

The Middle East war is coming straight for your dinner plate and grocery bills are about to soar.


The rockets falling in the Middle East are sending shockwaves straight to your dinner plate. When the U.S.-led military intervention in Iran escalated, most expected an energy crisis. They watched the oil markets and the gasoline pumps. And indeed prices have soared, with the Brent barrel hovering at around $105 and U.S. gas prices topping $4 for the first time since 2022.

But the real casualty of this war may be far more insidious, and it starts in the soil.

Our modern food system is based on a foundation of natural gas, and now that foundation is cracking. It's becoming clearer as the war drags on that the world is bound to face a historic global fertiliser shortage. With the Strait of Hormuz restricted by the Iranian military, shipments of critical agricultural chemicals have effectively stopped.

The result is a cascading failure across the global supply chain. This bottleneck is pushing food prices toward record highs not seen since the 1970s energy crisis, threatening millions of people with severe food insecurity...

Investing legend Mohamed El-Erian says he's avoiding stocks as a demand shock looms for oil

Mohamed El-Erian says he would avoid buying stock indexes at the moment. The former Pimco CEO is eyeing a demand shock stemming from the recent spike in oil prices. Markets may be mispricing the economic consequences from the Iran war, he suggested.


This upcoming likelihood was mentioned by Paul Krugman, but I think ME-E is a little more clear and specific regarding the probability of Demand Destruction becoming the greater problem arising from the current restricted supply.  Your average J6P along with dimwit Pols like El Trumpo focuses more on the inflation they see right now, but once DD kicks in you get the spiral of bankruptcies, rising UE & bank failures as loans & mortgages get defaulted on.  This doesn't happen immediately, it takes a few months as businesses fall behind on their coupon payments until they are forced to default and make it public.  Paul addressses it from the academic side, but M E-E has to deal with this blowback in lotsa real money, so you should pay attention.  I'd give it to mid summer before it really begins to bite, a little sooner in Europe, a bit later here.  Hard to say how deep the spiral goes down yet, but every day that goes by makes it exponentially more difficult to recover from.

President Trump will address the nation on the Iran war

Trump told reporters Tuesday that the responsibility for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open should belong with countries that rely on it. He said there’s “no reason for us to do this.” Trump expressed frustration with allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort, saying “go get your own oil.” Trump vacillates between insisting there is progress in diplomatic talks, then threatening to widen the war.


Can't wait to hear the next pile of steaming shit to spew out of his mouth.  Actually, read the synopsis since I can't stand listening to him speak.

So the latest idea is to claim victory and leave the straight closed?  How does he sell that one?

Giddy Trump, 79, Posts Giant Explosion Video as Aides Cue Up Daily Destruction Footage

President Donald Trump posted a snippet from one of the montages of destruction compiled by his aides to reassure him that his war on Iran is going according to plan.  The 79-year-old president shared footage on Monday night of a bunker-buster bombing attack against an ammunition depot in Isfahan, central Iran.  The Truth Social clip shows a large number of 2,000-pound penetrating munitions being used.


Go FSoA! See how tough I am?  No Fuckee with Trumpee!
